Wonderful musicianship, NZ stories - Wheel of Experience tour May 2014

Three consummate performers and epic original songs – ‘Wheel of Experience’ brings the ‘wild west’ of New Zealand to exuberant life.

Walking a fine line between history and legend, humour and heart, the songs move from gentle ballad to wailing sea shanty to bluegrass and blues, telling the stories of real people trying to carve a new life in a land at the bottom of the world.

Hearty vocal harmonies combine with old time acoustic instruments - banjo, fiddle, mandolin, cigar-box slide, the Chinese zhongruan – in a show written and performed by David Ward (The Dentist’s Chair, Guru Of Chai, Kiss The Fish) Peter Daubé (Stories Told To Me By Girls) and Dave Khan (The Bads, Tim Finn, Don McGlashan Band).

“Neither musical nor theatrical experiences come any more astonishing than the Wheel of Experience. …You hear about good performers bringing songs to life, but in this case, the songs seem to give birth to the performers.” - Nick Bollinger, The Sampler

“The wonderful musicianship, the quirky concept and the environment created made it feel as if I had stumbled into the past. …Highly recommended as an experience.” - Te Radar

“Will steal you away and have you run the emotional gamut… these guys are putting their heart, soul and sweat into these tracks” - Sean Elliot, Daily Album
