Wow, you're in for a full night of class entertainment!Originally from Amsterdam, Frank John brings his technical brilliance to this New Plymouth-based duo, and his Taranaki-born wife Erin Manu provides driving rhythm guitar and has a reputation for her unique style on banjo - described as having 'a kinda swagger' - by Albi from Albi and The Wolves.
Whether it's a sizzling acoustic instrumental or the soulful delivery of a ballad, they capture the essence of guitar and song through the variations of the acoustic genres – folk, blues, country, swing and classical, all wrapped into a neat Kiwi-Dutch package. They perform hidden gems, well-known standards and their own compositions.
Frank and Erin have recorded a compilation of some of their original instrumentals, which will be released this year on CD and online. Each composition is finely crafted and features Rob Greenfield (bass), Ryan John (guitar), Jude Douglas (violin), Liz Merton (violin) and Cindy Muggeridge (keyboard).
For this concert, Frank and Erin will be joined by Robert Greenfield (bass).
In addition, all musicians who recorded on the CD will be performing during this concert.
