Music has always been a bridge between cultures, places, and people. Join us for a special hometown performance of From Ceylon to Aotearoa, before the show travels south to Auckland.
Sri Lankan-born and now based in Northland, Aotearoa, André Gomesz is a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter whose music traces his journey from the shores of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) to life in Aotearoa. His performances blend heartfelt originals with reimagined covers, constantly adapting and evolving with the musicians who join him.
The Frequencies are the incredible community of artists André loves to jam with. Every show is a living, breathing experience, shaped by the energy of the moment. This Whangārei concert flows from intimate acoustic storytelling to soaring full-band energy and improvised songs, closing with deep bass grooves and electronic wubs to keep the vibe alive as the night winds down.
Featuring the Frequencies of the night:
Grant Tromp – Drums
Drummer for the 90’s Kiwi rock band Van Tromp, later performing with Valley Goats and Rocks n Flowers. Known for his classic rock style blended with groove-driven jams, holding that beat down.
Lewis de Jong – Bass/DJ/Vocals
Best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for internationally acclaimed Kiwi metal band Alien Weaponry. Now stepping into the DJ world, Lewis brings a unique mix of reggae dub, bass-driven soundscapes, and influences that create the perfect crossover energy.
Becca Brown – Keys/Guitar/Vocals
Multi-instrumentalist and founder of The jUteBox Sessions, a travelling platform hosting jam sessions and community events across Aotearoa. Becca’s work uplifts emerging artists and blends music with fire-spinning nights, open jams, and grassroots creativity.
Come as you are, or wear your Sarong or Saree to embrace the spirit of the night.
food and drinks will be available at the bar.
