Following on from their successful Blues Show in August, 'The Kay Duncan Band' bring to you this much anticipated concert, featuring Kays' latest unique multi genre songs performed with the bands distinctive style.
The Kay Duncan Band was formed from musical connections, both old and new between a group of professional Christchurch-based musicians.
Initially working together on Kays 'Interstellar Refugee' Debut Album release concert back in 2022, and inspired by the opportunity to play originals in a band and have fun along the way.
The interest in the refreshing diversity of the songs and mix of genres ignited an energy which has fuelled powerful creative inputs from every band member. This has resulted in a united motivation to bring each song to its full potential.
Band members are Kay Duncan - vocals and acoustic guitar, Guy Hobson – Keyboard, Geoff Cox – Bass, John Weir-Kincaid – Drums, Rob Tate – Lead Guitar and Ben Blackett – harmonica, keyboard & percussion.
Each band member has been free to contribute by bringing their own ingenious perspective and experience to the music, and this process has been both deeply satisfying and exciting.
The outcome of this collaborative approach is an originals band that delivers a vibrant and noteworthy performance high in energy, intensity and fun. One which is smouldering with groovy, funky rhythms, interesting and sublime melodies and thought - provoking lyrics. All with a distinctive style encompassing the mix of genres.
As one audience member recently surmised …’Fantastic, colourful, powerful, interesting and most important to me a band/group in harmony.’
The band are delighted to welcome four special guest artists for this concert. Becky Mayes - backing vocals, Cathy Boscolo - backing vocals & saxophone, Mike Bickers - trumpet, Allan Hawes - saxophone & flute.
