Four Small Halls will be reverberating with the distinctive swagger of a band visiting from Portland, Oregon, next week.
Small Halls creator Jamie Macphail says Jenny Don’t & The Spurs have created a genre almost all of their own.
“Western cowpunk is a high-energy sound, slowing right down for the occasional heartfelt and heartbreaking ballad. It blends the great traditions of country and western with pure rock-a-billy, a hint of grunge and a good dose of a punk attitude,” Macphail said.
Considered now to be a veteran band in Oregon, having formed 12 years ago and playing well over 500 gigs across the US and 14 other countries, Jenny Don’t & The Spurs promise to be “loud” and “fun”.
“They come to Hawke’s Bay as part of a whistlestop 15-night tour. This follows on from performing at two of Australia’s favourite music festivals, Dashville Skyline & Out For The Weekend, where they were one of the headline acts.
