Local music lovers might remember a magical night in the Spiegeltent back in 2017, when Ebony closed out the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival at the head of her band.
“Eb and Sparrow have made an indelible impression on the Bay, with their frequent returns over their eight years in action becoming a cause for celebration for those in the know. Their Bye Bye Baby farewell gig at Common Room four years ago was a long, warm goodbye hug, memorable for its bittersweet-ness.”
Lamb has been forging her own path, embarking on a solo career on an upward trajectory. She’s been touring her solo album, Successful Feelings, across both islands ahead of its general release next year, finding widespread acclaim. She’s still indulging her passion for collaboration with the cream of Aotearoa’s folk musician crop - Bic Runga and Kody Nielson, to name but a few - rendering great things from small bands of like-minded musos.
“Her debut solo single ‘Take My Hands At Night’ is a dreamy exploration that showcases her unique talent, evoking an other-worldliness that tugs gently and expertly on the heartstrings.
“Now, five lucky audiences will be treated to the full Ebony Lamb musical experience. Her sultry, dulcet tones and genre-defying style will lull audiences from Kereru to Tikokino, Sherenden to Poukawa to Haumoana, providing a quintet of soothing, unmissable evenings that you’ll be reminiscing about for years to come,” Macphail said.
