Had the pleasure of seeing Steve Gunn here in lil ol’ Blenheim last week. Steve was at one point a part of Kurt Viles band, The Violators but also has a really solid catalogue of his own work that is well worth digging into if you don’t know him. His 2013 effort Time Off is particularly notable. Finger-picker par excellence. What a treat to have him play as the wife and I lay on beanbags at his feet. Humble and to the point - a great guy to chat to after the show and I even picked up a few music recommendations from him.
Here in backwoods nowhere, we’ve been lucky enough to have had a local muso/entrepreneur get some skin in the game and open a wee venue which doubles as a tempeh factory by day. Nadia Reid, Screaming Females, No Age, Adam Hathaway, The Transistors and many others have detoured out our way to perform for us over the last 12 months. Makes life here a little more bearable for a guy like me. 😉
Anybody else catch Mr Gunn on his NZ travels? Picked up his new live ep on the night which I must give a listen soon. Much goodness indeed.
Unfortunately I can’t seem to add pics or vid from the show using mobile. Bummer.
