Whangateau
New Zealand
This concert is being held on our regular club night, but won’t follow the usual club format. There will be limited first half floor spots so we can have a full concert from this brilliant band from the USA.
Formed in 2011, The Sonoran Dogs have exploded upon the bluegrass scene! They have performed and headlined many festivals and concert venues in the Southwestern US, touring as far as Australia, from Melbourne to Brisbane and beyond.
All the way from the USA, their first ever visit to New Zealand, this Arizona based band is the real thing when it comes to Bluegrass music. Mark Miracle, Peter McLaughlin and Tyler James are super stars of bluegrass and will be very ably supported by my dear friend and mentor Bruce Packard of Melbourne on upright bass.
The “Dogs” are made up of seasoned veterans who have come together to enjoy bluegrass music and friendship, often times adding one or more “strays” on fiddle, dobro and even accordion! You can even see them with the BIG band, which includes drums and pedal steel – quite the experience!
With every show, The Sonoran Dogs play with expertise, often improvising and showcasing original songs, traditional and contemporary music as well as an eclectic mix of Bluegrass, Folk, Americana, Celtic, and Newgrass.
