Kiwi rock veterans The Eastern are bringing their music across the ditch.
They’re no household names here, but their last album Hope and Wire peaked at number one on New Zealand’s iTunes country chart, number two on the country’s artist charts, and number 11 on the nation’s national charts. They’re seasoned performers who rarely take a break from life on the road. They’ve also shared the stage with some of the world’s best including our own Jimmy Barnes, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Earle, and his son Justin Townes Earle.
The Eastern’s frontman Adam McGrath says, “we have one job, that is to play like our lives depend on it, If you’re there to see us play then we owe you, not the other way around!”
