A musical favourite featuring the Dave Atkin Group returns to the Napier Botanical Gardens on Thursday, January 16.
Botanic Beats, which will run from 6pm to 8pm, has been a popular addition to the free events Napier City Council organises for the community.
This talented group features Jess Atkin on vocals, Dave Atkin on keys/vocals, brother Joe on drums, Jess' husband Paul Du Fresne on bass, plus Anton Wuts on saxophone and Matt Mear on trumpet.
Known for putting their own special contemporary twist on jazz and soul standards, they're sure to get the crowd going and up on their feet.
"We love staging Botanic Beats in this fantastic garden area. It's the perfect place on a summer's evening to relax on the grass with a picnic and listen to some awesome local entertainment," Kevin Murphy, event manager at Napier City Council, said.
