Country Sensation, Eb & Sparrow Tour 2 March–2 April
Country Sensation, Eb & Sparrow Tour 2 March – 2 April
Touring for the first time with Arts On Tour NZ, Wellington based Eb & Sparrow, a five piece band led by Ebony Lamb is cementing its reputation as one of the coolest Kiwi country groups around, featuring expansive ballads, rollicking good-time songs and a few memorable torch-burners. They’ve opened for international acts and performed alongside local legends including Marlon Williams, Delaney Davidson and the Warratahs - and are noted for their storytelling as much as Ebony’s poignant vocals.
“Eb & Sparrow is a honeyed, smokey. foot tappin’ treat for the ears….the five-piece lay down whole-hearted, deep-hued, visceral tales…with such beautiful warmth and fragility you’re hooked from the first glide of lap steel to the last soaring, vocal phrase” – Lydia Jenkins, NZ Herald
“Eb & Sparrow bring Ry Cooder’s Paris, Texas twang, slide, croon and growl to the Kiwi heartland” – The Listener
