The DeSotos

The DeSotos are thrilled to announce they will be bringing their roots-based Americana & country-blues music for the first time to Kumeu Live.

With a setlist that spans gin-soaked ballads through to southern country rockers, and the odd Tom Petty or Neil Young cover in between, this will be a great evening of music!

“Both Gurney and McIntyre write brilliantly. The DeSotos music oozes genuine emotion and makes all the right moves.” - Gary Steel Metro Magazine

“The voice is just genius... seriously the best vocalist I’ve heard in a long time” - Manu Taylor National Radio

“Wide-screen country rock which owes much to the Petty/Springsteen/Neil Young axis.” - NZ Herald

“The collective sound is impressive.” - Simon Sweetman, NZ musician/stuff.co.nz.

NOTE: A free CD copy of the DeSotos second album Your Highway For Tonight is available on the night to all purchasers of presale tickets.

Doors 7.30pm. Showtime 8.00pm.
