Sunday 3rd January - Alzarae

Alzarae translated into English means to raise or to lift up and that’s exactly what these four guys do to your spirits with their renditions of well known classics from Andrea Bocelli, remakes by Il Divo, Michael Buble, Brat Pack jazz & swing and their own modern twists on great songs. With tight harmonies and big voices these guys have been described as New Zealands answer to some well known international acts. This is one act you won’t want to miss. These guys always deliver a night to remember. Visit their website for more information.

Ebony and Ivory are a covers band from Tauranga. The members of the band are Marc Joseph, Tarquin Keys and Jason Crawford. Ebony and Ivory started out in 2006 and have honed their set of music to include rock, funk, r & b, late 90's hip-hop and country... when the mood is right for a hoe-down! Their unique style of blending songs has often been imitated but they stand alone in their ability to deliver a high-energy, musically entertaining show. With their three-part harmonies and percussive acoustic sound boosted by solid yet adventurous drums and a groove-driven bass, Ebony and Ivory gaurantee to have the oldest person dancing and the youngest person singing!
