The Nick Granville Blues Band

The Nick Granville Blues Band features some of the busiest and finest musicians playing in New Zealand today. They are coming together again for an extravaganza of Chicago blues.

Neil Billington, described as 'the Hendrix of the harmonica', is probably the best blues harmonica player in the country. His performances are always electrifying, showing what can be accomplished on a harmonica.

Nick Granville has played guitar around the world including London’s O2 Arena, and The Monterey Jazz Festival. A former guitar tutor at the New Zealand School of Music, he has also recorded albums with some leading jazz bands and musicians too. Among the artists Nick has played with are Dave Matthews, Dave Weckl, Chris de Burgh, the Rodger Fox Big Band, and many more.

Completing the band for us tonight are two outstanding musicians: Darren Mathiassen (drums) (Shapeshifter, Kora, and many more, and Elliot Fuimaono (bass) (Aotearoa Allstars, Red Dog Saloon Band, and many others).

Expect some explosive playing. This is a gig not to be missed.
