The DeSotos 'Restless Hearts Tour'

The band is on the road on a string of North Island dates, playing for the first time at the Firebird Cafe in Levin, culminating in a major Festival appearance at the NZ Blues and BBQ Festival in Rotorua.

The DeSotos tour also celebrates the release of four new original songs that the band has recorded at The LAB in Mt Eden with Wayne Bell on production and Olly Harmer at the desk.
These tracks will form part of an album scheduled for release in 2025, and are included in the tour set list so you will be among the first to get to hear the songs live. Keep an eye on the bands socials for updates.
Since the early 2000's The DeSotos have occupied a unique space in the New Zealand country blues scene, with their melodic songwriting accompanied by strong vocal harmonies and tight musicianship.

As well as their original material the band features reference cover songs from the likes of Neil Young, Tom Petty and the Allman Brothers Band in their setlist.

The DeSotos lineup:
Paul Gurney - lead vocals, guitars & blues harp
Stuart McIntyre - bass & vocals
Ron Stevens - Hammond, keyboards & vocals
Greg Tell - drums & percussion
