Aotearoa's finest indigenous reggae and slow burning funk group Trinity Roots are taking to the stage this summer with an extended line up. They’ll be joined by a horn section, percussion, and additional vocalists, as well as very special guest Hollie Fullbrook of Tiny Ruins.
The band’s vision is to take their well-loved and long cherished songs and flesh them out with new arrangements and a bigger band. It’ll be the first time the group have taken to the stage in over a year.
Tony Ruins’ Hollie Fullbrook will open all three shows with a stripped back solo set.
Trinity Roots intend to present a reflective and inclusive experience, and wrap a musical ‘korowai’ around the audience, that resonates long after the performance is over.
