4 long years since their last tour, The Frank Burkitt Band are returning to stages across Aotearoa as a stripped down duo. Older but not much wiser, the last few years have seen Frank and Kara re-settle in the UK, release their first home recorded album (Silvereye) and when pandemics have allowed, perform around the UK. They haven’t stopped missing New Zealand and are ecstatic to be returning to perform their latest album live for the first time.
The show will feature Frank’s most recent songs; stripped back, pensive folk ballads that are a result of too much time spent with one’s own mind and a yearning for the interaction and pace of the world that was. Self-indulgent yes, but intimate, honest and heartfelt. There’ll also be some old favourites, re arranged for guitar, voice and flute. An engaging night of story, harmony and great songwriting.
With a mixture of duo and full band performances, they will be travelling through NZ playing Auckland, Wellington, New Plymouth, Northland, Hawke’s Bay and beyond so grab your tickets now!
"If you were to look for reference points to compare this music with, you might end up with Boz Scaggs, later James Taylor, Martin Stephenson, and maybe Tim O’Brien but none of these are close matches. If you buy this CD (Raconteur) buy it for itself. It has a touch of class.” Johnny Windle, Stirrings Magazine
“Music that nods towards the likes of Pokey Lafarge or, in lighter moments, a country-tinged Pentangle. An album of genuinely good songs delivered by a fine sounding bunch of musicians.” 8/10 - Rick Bayles, Americana UK
“The band’s vocal harmonies are tight, spot on and a delight. Soulful music that confounds to the end.” **** Marc Higgins, Northern Sky Magazine
“The sincerity and heart that emanates from his song writing is endearing, to say the least. I believe
people who are truly great at their craft make what they do seem easy” Janise Kumar – muzic.net.nz
‘A unique, rootsy sound which lies somewhere between country/ Americana and swing and jazz music.‘ Christopher James Sheridan – Folking.com
“Exceptional”
