The GRAND CENTRAL BAND… Driving Jazz, Soul and Funk with a twist, from Auckland, New Zealand.
Introducing Chris Melville’s Jamiroquai inspired vocals, Alan Brown’s renowned accomplished keyboard style, guitarist Jonas Julio’s John Mayer and John Scofield inspired playing and the deeply talented and solid backline duo of Josh Sorenson (Drums) and Karika Turua (Bass).
This jazz/soul/funk band will surprise you with their groove-oriented renditions of familiar songs alongside their own confident originals, with a strong dynamic stage presence to boot.
This longstanding Auckland band have become a popular and much lauded group at every festival they have attended, including the Vanuatu Jazz Festival, the Waiheke Island Jazz Festival, the Tauranga Jazz Festival, the Mission Bay Jazz Festival, the Queenstown Winter Festival, the Devonport Wine & Food Festival and the Nelson Jazz Festival.
The Grand Central Band have talent and finesse to shine onstage at any event, and as one fan puts it…
‘This artist has paid their dues and is pulling out all the stops on the road to the big time. Tight arrangements, excellent vocals and professional mixing add the finishing touches to a foundation of solid musical talent. Influences of blues and rock sync together with original composition to create an earful of sound that will keep you coming back for more.’
