Stretch - Hawke's Bay - 2021/ Waipawa

Dining and Doors from 6:30pm - Music from 7:30pm

Boxcat Records is thrilled to announce acclaimed singer/songwriter ‘Stretch’ will be performing a run of shows through his home region this April. Renowned for unforgettable performances and his connection with audiences, Stretch is stripping back the production and presenting a series of intimate solo shows across Hawke’s Bay.

Amidst a challenging year, Stretch recorded the exceptional new album
‘Our Dreams Are Changing’. This new music builds on his already impressive songbook. Moving on from the soulful rawness of the solo debut ‘Bury All Horses’, this material has stunned listeners and reviewers with its seductive mix of moody acoustic folk/soul music.

‘If you could embody the phrase “music for our times” then ‘Our Dreams Are Changing’ would be worthy of that description. Conjures up memories of Roy Orbison, shimmering with bitter-sweetness. 5/5 stars! - Music.Net.NZ

With a sound that transports audiences and a gift for truly original songwriting, this tour is a chance to not only catch one of New Zealand’s most engaging performers, but also celebrate a local creative, bringing it back home.

‘Stretch totally captivated, the voice beautiful and soulful. Immediately the place lit up, we finished on our feet, a crowd desperate for more’ - BayBuzz
