SKIN & BONE

Introducing the unique southern swing unit that is
SKIN & BONE

From deepest Dunedin to Te Ika-a-Māui comes the quirky quintet known as Skin & Bone. Five superb musicians, with a pedigree as long as your arm, bring you a solid Western Swing repertoire with a decidedly Kiwi bent. Based on the country-jazz sounds of the 30’s and 40’s, this most danceable band will have you foot-tapping, laughing and immersing yourselves in the tight harmonies and musicianship of ol’ time Americana and Kiwi originals in equal measure.

On the back of their recent appearance at the Whare Flat and Canterbury Folk Festivals, and their recently released album Last Bus to Brockville, they bring their particular schtick to the South of the North in a whirlwind four-day tour of Carterton, New Plymouth, Palmerston North and Wellington.

Formed in early 2019 from two of Dunedin’s longest-running contemporary folk and jazz units Catgut & Steel and The Chaps, Skin & Bone are:

John Dodd (bass, vocal),
Stephen “Wee Huddy” Hudson (drums, vocal)
Mike Moroney (guitar, vocal)
Anna Bowen (fiddle, mandolin, vocal)
Emily Sterk (clarinet, saxophone, vocal)
