I must say there was a good crowd when we got there, knowing Gary from a few years back, I knew he'd pull out all the stops and put on a great show, well I wasnt wrong
...... from start to finish this tight 3 piece band rocked up a storm that was reminescent of the Gary Harvey I remember back in the 80s with Sonny Day & The All stars, Black and Blue, Red House Rockers and thats with out delving even further back in time to the 1960's when this Legendary Kiwi Bluesman was rarking up a storm back then........I remember seeing him open for the Thunderbirds and George Thorogood on separate occasions and bringing the house down with their blend of high octane blues......... but that aside...... every set was a tasty hot mix of blues and blues rock standards mixed with originals off his latest album....... I have to say for a man knocking 63 and he dont look it at all !...... hes still got the real deal goods, if you're a bass player you will enjoy his approach feel and tone and his natural playing ability , his execution is effortless and if you're just out and about looking for some good old blues n rock go along and check out one of New Zealands Legendary Bluesman.
Hes always got a smile and a bourbon in one hand and always keen to chat and talk music , so if you're up for a laugh and a chat go and see him and his band of merry Bluesman- Ian on drums..... nice and tasty - a human metronome and his oh so tasty gat man Tony ...... The Gary Harvey Band...... you can be sure of a good time with his brand of house Rockin Music
