A Nukes concert experience is always engaging, fun and uplifting, so expect family-friendly entertainment with their trademark humour, as well as top-flight musicianship, 3 part harmony and great songs.
For more than15 years this unlikely band of musical miscreants has traipsed around Australasia, bringing joy and harmony to all they encounter. And now they’re back on the road, so it’s time for audiences old and new to check out what the band have been cooking up over the last year or two. Original members Ben’Country-boy’ Collier (Goldenhorse) and Dave’Fingers of Fire’ Parker (Rhythm Cage/ Parker Project) will be joined by none other than Dave’s golden-voiced son Jay P adding a real family flavour to this trio.

“Highly intriguing and really skilful- a great mix of folk, bluegrass and reggae” - Grant Smithies - Radio NZ
