A unique musical offering designed to offer a bridge between generations, Red Bull has announced its latest musical offering ‘RED BULL PRESENTS: YEARS GONE BY’ curated by long-time partner, Tom Scott from Avantdale Bowling Club.
This show will feature never seen before pairings of some of NZs most well-known musicians collaborating with talented members of their families across two intimate gigs in Auckland and Wellington on Friday 17th May and Saturday 18th May.
Curator Tom Scott explains the vision for this unique gig: “When I was younger music was the only language I could speak to my pops in. When the roles are twisted, that’s when you’re really creating something and it’s that magic I want to put on stage for this show. I want the gig to act as some kind of bridge between generations. I want to blur the spectrum. Remind all that relevance is relative”
Acts confirmed for these unique gigs span the length of the musical genre and decades. Set to perform in Auckland on Friday 17th May is retro-futuristic psych-soul artist Troy Kingi and his guitarist nephew Rawiri Webb, father and daughter duo Soraya LaPread and Ron LaPread, legendary former guitarist of The Commodores, drummer-extraordinaire Julien Dyne and his double bassist dad Paul Dyne, and Tom Scott himself with his father Peter.
The following night in Wellington on Saturday May 18th will again see Troy Kingi and Rawiri Webb on stage, joined by psychedelic soul singer MaraTK and his father Billy TK, Fat Freddy’s Drop’s Joe Lindsay and Benny Salvador - Joe’s rising DJ son, emerging rap talent Vayne and her cousin Fiveofive, and a solo Tom Scott.
Audiences are invited to RSVP for this show now from redbull.co.nz/music for a reduced ticket price of $15, door sales will also be available at the venue for $25
