Tomorrow night! 🎷

Internationally acclaimed saxophonist & composer Thabani Gapara brings DZINDZA to Toitoi - Hawke's Bay Arts & Events Centre - for an intimate and immersive live performance blending jazz, storytelling, rhythm and cultural connection.

We absolutely loved having Thabani & the band perform at last years Jazz In The Park at Church Road Winery, but DZINDZA invites audiences into something even more intimate. More immersive, more reflective, and written to draw audiences into the stories and journey behind the music.

With May marking both Africa Month and NZ Music Month, this feels like a special night to gather, connect and celebrate the way music brings people together. We would love to see you there.

Tickets are still available from eventfinda or the venue 🎶

NZ Music Month has a special way of bringing people together. A familiar music venue, a packed dancefloor, a quiet songwriter moment, running into old friends between sets, discovering someone new you can’t stop listening to afterwards.

We are halfway through NZ Music Month, and Hawke’s Bay is absolutely humming with live music right now 🎶

From community halls and intimate wine bar sessions through to big stage performances, there are still so many moments ahead worth showing up for.

Over the rest of NZ Music Month we’ll be sharing some of the artists, shows and people helping make our region’s music scene feel so alive - including a few special events still to come.

Meanwhile a quick mention - tomorrow night at Church Road Winery the HB Music Hub will be celebrating the launch of this years - Under The Sun Vol. 5 vinyl. I actually can't believe its been 5 years since the legendary Kevin Murphy got this idea off the ground - a chance for Hawkes Bay artists to have their songs put on vinyl (which is a pretty spesh thing). And a pretty epic series of compilations at that too (i have Vols. 1-4 on regular rotation at home). This is a free event and runs from 6pm - 8pm so if you want to come out and support the music community here in the Bay everyone is welcome. You may even get your hands on a complimentary copy of Vol 5.

We’re on for another beautiful Hawkes Bay day tomorrow at the lawn! 🥂
