WAI brings another top class act to Hokitika. This is world music in a true folk roots fusion. Acoustic Americana meets Celtic Spirit!
Prepare you dancing feet, vocal chords and heart! Here come Across the Great Divide, featuring traditional, contemporary and original songs and tunes from Celtic and Americana roots.
Karen’s fiery accompaniments matches her blisteringly paced, guitar fuelled jigs and reels as Tony adds his relaxed dobro harmonies to add depth and splashes of musical colour and Hanna fills you with delicious unworldly vibration. Before you’ve caught your breath, they shift gear into a gentle Celtic air on the harp – and then the soft Scots burr of Karen’s voice breathes life into an achingly beautiful traditional song as Tony adds sensitive counter harmonies on the dobro.
An Across The Great Divide concert isn’t a quiet affair. Strap yourself in for a wild, toe tapping and emotionally laden journey, perfectly held together by their passion for their traditions.
