Live: Bob Dylan Tribute
Bob Dylan turns 73 this Saturday. As he readies his 36th studio album Shadows in the Night, rock'n'roll's poet laureate continues to influence every modern songwriter. At a recent Dylan tribute show at Auckland’s Wine Cellar, New Zealand musicians Hayden Booth, Reb Foundation, The Bads, Tiny Ruins, Adam McGrath and Delaney Davidson all paid tribute to the bard – Radio New Zealand was there to capture their performances.
The Sampler: Aldous Harding - Aldous Harding
A unique new voice has emerged from Lyttleton, which Nick Bollinger says ‘shifts the air with rarefied grace’. Nick takes a listen to the self-titled debut from Aldous Harding.
Liam Gerner
Gerner's mum recommended a book for her son written by ex-pat music writer Garth Cartwright. Gerner loved the pages and began quoting passages from More Miles Than Money on-stage while on the road with Ryan Bingham in the US. Cartwright and Gerner eventually met and planned a road trip to New Orleans. That expedition became the inspiration for Gerner's latest album Land Of No Roads.
