The Whiskey Live 2011: Nairobi Trio, Annah Mac & Mel Parsons

The Whiskey Live is a series of concerts presented annually by The Whiskey bar as a celebration of New Zealand Music Month each May. Featuring a broad spectrum of New Zealand musicians performing one of a kind, limited capacity shows; The Whiskey Live is fast becoming a headline attraction of New Zealand Music Month each year.

New Zealand’s iconic jazz entertainers the Nairobi Trio mark their 22nd year together with a show featuring material spanning the group's career to date from their eight CDs, a mixture of skilfully crafted original pieces and jazz favourites - the distinctive sound and delivery which is the hallmark of the Nairobi Trio.

Violin, guitar and double bass blend and weave to create the Trio's own brand of very accessible jazz. Guest saxophonist Andrew Dixon adds his own magic - be prepared to be drawn into their world, to be carried away by a performance as faultless as you'd expect from such experienced talents.

Opening the show are two of NZ’s rising songwriting stars - Annah Mac followed by Mel Parsons.

The line up includes: A Hori Buzz, Andrew Keoghan, Anika Moa, Annabel Fay, Avalanche City, Barnaby Weir, Bic Runga, Cairo Knife Fight, Che Fu, Clap Clap Riot, Dave Dobbyn, Dave McArtney & Friends, Don McGlashan, Dukes, F In Math, Greg Fleming & The Trains, Greg Johnson, Hello Sailor, Jan Hellriegel, Jason Kerrison featuring The Babysitters Circus, Jonny Love, LA Mitchell, Luke Thompson, Motocade, Nairobi Trio, Nathan Haines and the Dream Band, People of Paris, The Peter Urlich Sextet, Ruby Frost, The Jordan Luck Band, The Thomas Oliver Band.
