\u201cIt was a fantastic excuse to drift through smaller communities and meet the local folk and to immerse myself in the awesomeness of the South Island,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s cool people everywhere and gigs like these seemed to serve as some sort of rallying point. I had a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarjeant Gallery director Andrew Clifford said the gallery had become a \u201csignificant cultural hub, committed to connecting our audiences with the most compelling creative experiences in Aotearoa\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very proud \u2013 and, to be honest, a little starstruck \u2013 to welcome Shayne P. Carter to Whanganui for a solo show that spans his dynamic career as one of the country\u2019s most uncompromising and respected musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter describes the \u201cback-to-basics\u201d show, which covers his extensive songbook, as \u201crather removed from folky strumming\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI became addicted to guitar pedals during the pandemic and sadly spent a lot of time watching music shop dudes on YouTube playing blues scales.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I brought some good pedals and I use some of them on the solo show to make my guitar sound better and more interesting.\u201c<\/p>\n
Doors open for the Whanganui show at 7pm on March 28, with the set starting at 7.30pm.
