Uptown Local Voices – Celebrating NZ Music Month 2021
Uptown has a great history of music; with The Powerstation, Bungalow Bills and Roundhead Studios being just some of the music spaces that help make Uptown the awesome creative community that it is.
In April, we searched the community for musical talent, and are proud to have presented the very first ‘Local Voices’ event; a showcase of some of Uptown’s spectacular local musicians!
Held the Horse & Trap, downstairs in The Stables, Montgomery kicked off the night with his 5-piece band and new wave sound centered around his love for alt-rock. Our local multi-instrumentalist Kingsley Spargo followed, with his smooth and soulful trumpet, vocals and guitar. Up and coming band The Furr Coats bought the energy with their bluesey indie-rock sound, and Alícía closed off the night by wowing the audience with her impressive R&B, Jazz and Hip-hop influenced beats, performing with her tight 4-piece band.
Check out the highlights video below.
This fantastic night was the first of many to come. Keep an eye out for next years NZ Music Month, Local Voices event in Uptown!
