The Incubator will slide open to reveal yet another show of musical diversity this weekend when Callum Gentleman delivers his eclectic mix of blues and folk noir - with the odd dash of country.
Vocalist/guitarist Callum, along with band mates Joel Vincen and Sam Loveridge, will play the second dateof the Cheap Whiskey Tour promoting his four-track EP, simply entitled Callum Gentleman, released in April last year.
As well as releasing material under the Callum Gentleman moniker, he also releases his spoken word pieces under the name The Panhandlers (NZ), which are quirky, self-analytical poems and stories with dark sonic soundscapes which help deconstruct his personal crises relating to everyday events.
Supporting Callum on this tour will be a solo venture for Jodie Peach from Miss Peach and the Travellin Bones.
Miss Peach is described by Matt Smith of Triple A Records as having "a seductive and melancholy voice with lyrics that conjure up distant and dusky landscapes", with a style which encompasses folk, gypsy, indie blues and a twist of country.
Legion Of Dissent are a relatively new Tauranga band, formed in 2016 and comprising Baz Mantis on guitar, Archeo (Dhaivat Mehta) on vocals, Kingsley Smith on bass and Sol Radley on drums. The band describes their music as a heavy psychedelic blues and metal groove with trippy hip-hop influenced vocals.
Each of the band's musicians has spent time in many other bands before forming Legion Of Dissent, while Archeo comes from a spoken word and poetry based background.
