The band is on the road on a string of North Island dates, playing for the first time at the Firebird Cafe, 58 Oxford Street, Levin, culminating in a major Festival appearance at the NZ Blues and BBQ Festival in Rotorua.
The DeSotos tour also celebrates the release of four new original songs that the band has recorded at The LAB, Mt Eden, with Wayne Bell on production and Olly Harmer at the desk.
These tracks will form part of their upcoming album scheduled for release in 2025, and are included in the tour set list so you will be among the first to get to hear the songs live. Keep an eye on the bands socials for updates.
Since the early 2000's The DeSotos have occupied a unique space in the New Zealand country blues scene, with their melodic songwriting accompanied by strong vocal harmonies and tight musicianship.

The DeSotos lineup:
Paul Gurney - lead vocals, guitars & blues harp
