Gig Guide 9 — 15 October
posted by Steven Shaw at 1:00 pm
Justin Townes Earle
Some great gigs this weekend and through next week, with Justin Townes Earle, (son of Steve Earle and named for Townes Van Zandt), who has his own unique and engaging take on country music. Something special about this performer — he’s playing at Wellington’s Bodega on Saturday and Auckland’s Kings Arms on Sunday … Nick Oliveri of QOTSA and Kyuss fame plays two shows (Ak and Wn) … Goldenhorse’s Kirsten Morrell plays Leigh Sawmill, the Opensouls play Welly and Napier, Dimmer and The Naked and Famous play Devonport’s Masonic Tavern…
