Nelson Arts Festival - Trinity Roots

Saturday 13th October 2012

Although by now the band needs no introduction, their seamless and hypnotic blend of ‘psych-rock reggae dub and soul’ has been winning hearts and minds across NZ (and elsewhere) since 1998. When the band split in 2005, no one could foresee the breadth and depth of the legacy they left behind. The rapturous critical and popular acclaim that followed their 2010 reunion and accompanying film Music Is Choice left no doubt that they were and remain one of NZ’s best loved bands.
TrinityRoots are founding members Warren Maxwell (Fat Freddy’s Drop, Little Bushman), Rio Hunuki-Hemopo (Breaks Co-op, Fat Freddy’s Drop) and recent addition and honourary ‘little sister’ Jean Pompey on drums. Of their latest addition Maxwell states ‘….Jean has brought a fantastic dynamic to the band, it’s given us a new, different kind of perspective.’
Join us for this very special intimate concert.
‘TrinityRoots are still capable of laying down music that breaks through barriers, transcends age and race, and unites those who really care to listen. Amen.’ – David Carroll, New Zealand Herald
