FEATHERSTON musician Warren Maxwell has helped capture yet more industry accolades after the three-piece band in which he plays, TrinityRoots, took the New Zealand Music Award for Best Roots Album.
The UCOL Wairarapa music tutor, who also runs Stone Feather recording studios, accepted the award on behalf of the platinum-selling group at the awards ceremony held at Vector Arena in Auckland on Thursday.
Maxwell opened his victory address in te reo Maori before thanking sound engineer and co-producer of the Citizen album, Lee Prebble, and all the musicians who worked on the offering, which was released in March.
Maxwell also gave thanks to his label and production houses and tour management team and "my Massey colleagues - we're starting a new commercial degree next year" and to the agencies funding the arts.
"I'd like to thank our families at home ... all our whanau and all of our fans - this is for our mums."
