Fresh from performing at Tauranga's Escape! silver-tongued poet/musician/writer, Callum Gentleman is in Rotorua at the behest of The Rogue Lounge for the first gig at its new venue.
Gentleman has a lovely voice and a new EP which he is celebrating with a tour of the country.
That means locals are in for a night of creativity unleashed with his blues/folk renditions - a prism through a bottle of moonshine shared between Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen in the early hours of the morning.
"Callum is quirky, and very true to his art. He has got an essence of satire that pokes fun at serious things," said Karin Vincent of The Rogue Lounge.
Ms Vincent has just come off the back of organising an extremely successful NZ Music Month for the city, which received a fantastic response from Rotorua audiences.
