After a string of sold out headline and festival performances, C.W. Stoneking makes his glorious return to New Zealand this October & November.
With his unmistakable swagger, C.W Stoneking slips effortlessly between the red dust of Alice Springs and the deep sounds of the American South. Drawing on a wildly eclectic mix of vintage blues, New Orleans jazz, gospel, calypso, country and western kitsch, Stoneking conjures a world that feels both timeless and thrillingly original.
“This is uh, C.W. Stoneking, an Australia artist who sounds like he’s 600 years old, he’s much younger actually, but he’s got a style all his own”
– Tom Waits, BBC 6 Radio
Expect zombie shuffles, gospel stompers and tropical torch songs all delivered with wit, charm and musical brilliance. His songs are rich in character, darkly funny and steeped in storytelling. The sound may be old-school, but the performance is electric.
