Zephyr Wills & The Handsome Giants

Sunday 7th July 2024

Zephyr Wills & The Handsome Giants, Tasman Bay Blues Club, The Barn.

From Folk & Blues to stonking electric Blues, (possibly via solo Viola!) this amazing show has it all.

Zephyr is an acclaimed international musician, based in the USA.
Recently returned from Europe, The Handsome Giants (Hurricane Shayn Wills, harmonica, guitar, vocals and the bass & drums of Sid and Freddy Limbert) have supported John Hammond Jnr, BB King, Albert King, Canned Heat, Robert Cray, Junior Wells, Duke Robillard, and more.

Expect a dynamite show of raw Blues, R&B and Rock’n’Roll. This is fun, good time music.

Zephyr graduated from the New Zealand School of Music. He has worked with the NZ Symphony Orchestra, and is a regular on Classical radio.
In the US, Zephyr has featured with the Pennsylvania Chamber and State Philharmonic Orchestras and has offers for the Royal College of Music and Guildhall School of Music in London.

As a folkie, Zephyr has toured NZ, the US, and Europe, collecting awards, his original songs and gained high praise:
NZ Music Magazine: ‘special, ageless, wonderful.’
Gulf News: ‘artistry of the highest order… A highpoint in Aotearoa’s cultural history… astonishing creativity.’
