The recent Ash Grunwald show at meowNui was one of those rare shows where the support act is spoken of in a good way, in a VERY good way.Lots of people were saying what a great show Simon Donald gave. Gritty blues, played with passion and skill. And played by a local musician too. What more can you ask for? So we booked him.
Simon Donald—understated kiwi brilliance. Chosen to support Ash Grunwald, and now taking the stage at Capital Blues. His online presence is about everyone else. This time, we’re making it all about him.
If you’ve caught him live at meowNUI, Paekākāriki, or the Kapiti Boating Club, you already know: Simon plays from the gut. Blues, Americana, and that rare kind of tone that feels lived-in and honest. He’s shared stages with Ash Grunwald, Sig Wilder, and National Sensation, and the feedback speaks for itself. As Ash put it:
“Hey brother you were amazing. Great to hear some good blues 🔥🔥🔥🔥”
Simon’s sets are all about feel. Deep blues, warm swing, and the kind of playing that makes you lean in and listen. Whether you’re a Thursday regular or just blues-curious, this one’s worth showing up for.
🎫 Members get discounted entry and 10% off at the bar—so come on down, grab a drink, and settle in. Doors open early. Music starts at 7.
