HBAF2020 Presents - Stretch: Our Dreams Are Changing

Stretch: Our Dreams Are Changing
Ahead of a national tour, this concert presents the exclusive premier of Stretch’s highly anticipated second album Our Dreams Are Changing.

This collection of songs was born here in Hawke’s Bay, evoking the open skies and sweeping coastlines of our region. The lyrical threads of searching for connection and belonging, run strongly throughout and take on an even greater resonance, with our shared but separate experiences of this year.

Stretch has ventured into a new sound, with the incredibly emotive playing of cellist Paula Sugden. The melodic lines exchanged between his voice and her instrument have unlocked another level of musical expression. Their combined sound soars with a grace and power unlike anything else in the New Zealand art scene. This sound saw them filling Church Road in 2018, touring to thrilled audiences nationwide in 2019, and supporting Elton John in 2020!

Returning this year after an unforgettable sell-out show in 2017, Stretch is bringing together a stellar showcase of local musicians alongside his studio band, to perform in this stunning setting. Our Dreams Are Changing brings an unmissable one-night-only musical experience.
