Lucas Kewell and Friends

WJC is pleased to present Lucas Kewell

Pianist Lucas Kewell has been studying in Basel for two years; learning from some incredible piano teachers, including Shai Maestro, Malcolm Braff, Aaron Parks, Kit Downes and Kris Davis. Returning for a trip home, he is bringing some friends he met through his studies in Switzerland, and introducing them to his old friends from Aotearoa: Zoltan Fekete from Hungary on drums, and Slovenian vocalist Neža Ozinger, are joined by locals Toby Barrett on sax and bassist Tyler Diprose.

Embarking on a North Island tour that blends jazz with influences from contemporary classical and filmic music - the band aims to evoke an image or tell a story, often exploring themes of the “human experience.”

This band is a combination of very special people, and after all, music is about who you play with.

Pre-purchasing a ticket is recommended. Door sales (if available) $25pp.
