This Waitangi Day treat your ears to a trio of the finest folk musicians in the bay.

Alec Withers is a regular fixture, both at Common and on the local music scene. From turn of the century eclectic punk band, Big Blue Blanket; to alt. country-flavoured, electric-folk, garage rock 'n roll outfit, Devil's Elbow; to hard edge headbangers Tempo 38; to Machine Wreckers' instrumental and experiential prog rock, Withers wades waist deep in a range of genres and projects, across instruments and modalities, from hard hitting drums to melodious vocals to harmonious guitar.

Christina Gunson is a farmers wife and a mother of three who's making her dream of performance a reality. Armed with only her guitar, she gives voice to her experience through a mix of indie, country, rock and folk. All the way from rural Hawke's Bay, Christina's authentic sound will warm your heart.

Veteran of Hawke's Bay's bars and bike rallies, Les Withers made his name with Music Dog country rock band racking up performances at venues and festivals across the bay including the infamous Cold Duck biker extravaganza once held in the Tuki Tuki valley, now alive only in memory. No stranger to the Common stage, Les is also Alec's dad. Together they form an intuitive duo with complementary styles forged in blood.

Join them for this very special afternoon of music at our one-off Waitangi Day earlier opening time.

Bar open from 12pm. Music from 1pm. FREE ENTRY.
