Blues back at Blockhouse Bay

Blues back at Blockhouse Bay

Blues is back at Blockhouse Bay, with the Midge Marsden Band set to perform a soulful set with help from the Grant Winterburn Experience on 2 March.

The concert is part of Auckland City Council’s free Music in Parks series and runs from 6pm to 9.30pm at Blockhouse Bay Beach Reserve.

Midge Marsden remains the number one rhythm and blues artist in New Zealand today. The singer and blues harp maestro has had a career spanning more than four decades and performed with some of the world’s best musicians.

The Grant Winterburn Experience is another must-see. As Australasia’s leading exponent of Hammond organ jazz, Grant Winterburn recreates the passion of 1960s jazz and funk music.

Auckland City Council’s Music in Parks concert series runs until 18 March, with plenty of music to keep you out-and-about and enjoying summer.
So grab some friends, pack up a picnic and chill out with some cool music in one of the city’s beautiful parks. Check out www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/mips for a full list of events.

The Blockhouse Bay concert is supported by NZCT, Fonterra Brands (Tip Top) Limited, Ecover-Helping clean upand Solid Gold 93.8fm.

This is just one of 60 free events provided by Auckland City Council as part of the Ak@Play summer events programme.
