Blind Boy Paxton: NZ Tour (March, 2016)

BLindBasJerron “Blind Boy” Paxton will make his New Zealand debut in March. Playing four shows (Auckland’s Tuning Fork, Thursday, March 10, The Naval Point Club in Lyttelton, Friday, March 11, Wellington’s Bodega on Saturday, March 12 and Black Barn in Havelock North, Sunday March 13) he’s well worth checking out.

Playing harmonica, piano, ukulele, banjo, fiddle and guitar, Blind Boy is steeped in the country and folk blues of the 1920s and 30s – all before he has reached his 30s. He started losing his eyesight as a teenager, by 16 he was virtually blind.

Here is playing the fiddle and check out a bit more of his playing here.

For more about Blind Boy Paxton check out his website. 

Once again those dates are below for his first New Zealand tour. Be sure to check him out if he’s playing in a town you can get to.

Thursday 10th March – Auckland @ The Tuning Fork
Friday 11th March – Lyttelton @ The Naval Point Club
Saturday 12th March – Wellington @ Bodega
Sunday 13th March – Havelock North @ Black Barn
