Local Act to Open Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert
Greenstone Entertainment love supporting local and are pleased to announce POWDER CHUTES as the opening support act for the 2023 Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert – Queenstown.
Powder Chutes will be the prelude to the four fantastic international acts who will take to the stage at the Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert on Saturday 11 February – ZZ TOP, PAT BENATAR & NEIL GIRALDO, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and THE ANGELS.
Powder Chutes are an emerging rock band from Wanaka combining youthful exuberance with riff-driven vintage grunt.
Already stalwarts of the vibrant local live scene, Powder Chutes have been fermenting amongst Wanaka’s rich creative melting pot of musicians, producers, DJs, artists, and athletes for a number of years.
Their debut EP, recorded at North Otago’s Studio Sublime with Steve Harrop and Tom Havard, dropped in January 2022 to critical acclaim, and has been streamed over 100,000 times in just 6 months. The EP and subsequent singles, feature art by Jersey born Producer, DJ, Snowboarder, Skater, and Graffiti Artist, Scott Nixon, and have been described as a joyful call to arms for anyone who likes pounding rock, grounded in melodic sensibilities.
Sweet noise pollution… groove-fuelled grunge… Powder Chutes are electrifying, ambitious, and hungry.
Of the announcement, Clarke from Powder Chutes comments “Powder Chutes being the opening support act for ZZ Top, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Stone Temple Pilots and The Angels is a HUGE deal for us, and to say we are stoked and thankful for the opportunity is a massive understatement. There’s a Billy Gibbons quote on our bassist’s wall that say’s “Play the music you want to hear”… and we’ve always tried to stick to this simple, yet epic advice. We would definitely have been in the crowd for this concert regardless, so to be chosen as the local support act has got us totally fired up… Bring it on!’
Greenstone Entertainment CEO Amanda Calvert adds: “It has been a long-standing tradition of ours to showcase local up and coming talent at our shows, and to give them an opportunity to perform in front of tens of thousands of people which they may not otherwise get the chance to do. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone along for an awesome afternoon of live music entertainment in February next year, and for concert goers to not only experience the incredible music of our four international artists but also the amazing local talent we have right here in New Zealand.”
Don’t miss the chance to see these awesome artists take to the stage – ZZ Top, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Stone Temple Pilots, The Angels and Powder Chutes.
