Restrictions around Covid-19 have eased and New Zealand singer/songwriter and record producer Dave Dobbyn is ready to love his audiences again like he should.

“We're keeping it intimate for this run but it still means a team of 10 on the road and we can't wait to make connections and meet people,” he says.

“Loading in gear and packing out at the end of the night has never been more appealing for the production team.”

Alongside much-loved anthems, the perennial pop star promises to perform pieces from his catalogue that deserve more air time.

He will be joined by long-standing rhythm section of Jo Barus from Christchurch on bass and drummer Ross Burge from Auckland, while Good Will (Christchurch musician Will McGillivray) in his first performances since the split of his band Nomad, will play support.
