Rowdy's Rose, The Turing Project and the Wayne Brown Band - Uptown Local Voices

Free gigs for everyone!
Uptown is full of musical people – home to iconic venues, recording studios and a thriving community of creatives.

This May, in celebration of NZ Music Month, we present the Uptown Local Voices Series – a series of free, spontaneous pop-up gigs bringing live music to unexpected spots across the neighbourhood!

Discover the sound of Uptown at our series of performances, popping up in local venues, community spaces, cafés and bars.

ROWDY’S ROSE
Rowdy’s Rose are an award-winning husband-and-wife modern country duo from Waikato, New Zealand. Internationally recognised, they won the 2025 ISSA Gold for “No Greater Love” and are multi-time US award nominees. They’ve performed in Nashville multiple times, including appearances around the Grand Ole Opry. Blending classic country influences with 90s rock, their sound is both heartfelt and dynamic.

WAYNE BROWN BAND with support from The Door Jambs
Expect a special guest appearance from Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown, a long-time musician and music enthusiast. Brown has a passion for the Uptown scene, and this month he’s taking to the stage for his debut performance. Backed by local favourites The Door Jambs, this is a moment you won’t want to miss.

THE TURING PROJECT
Jazz Fusion 7-piece sharing retro classics, epic Kiwi tunes, Brit-pop anthems, and definitive 70s numbers. From Oasis to Fleetwood Mac, The Dudes and more.
