Kirin J. Callinan & Jack Ladder

Overview

Two esteemed Sydney artists will take centre stage at Auckland’s Whammy Bar. No stranger to New Zealand, eccentric deep-voiced crooner Kirin J. Callinan has toured the country on numerous occasions - the last being a headline performance at the final A Low Hum Festival in 2014. The primal offerings of Callinan’s debut album Embracism spurred glowing reviews from the who’s who of music critics.

It will be the first time visit to New Zealand for art rock singer/songwriter Jack Ladder. The visit comes off the back of the release of his fourth album with his band The Dreamlanders. ‘Playmates’ Ladder (aka Tim Rodgers) is known for his baritone voice and poignant observations on love and death, often featuring a gallows humour.
