The Eastern. with Tucker Lane.

After a loooonnnnggggg hiatus off the road, formally known as the hardest travelling band in NZ,
Christchurch folk/country/punk/whatever the hell you call it band The Eastern pull themselves from the
roots of home and make a long march north into the East of the north this sept. for two rare shows at
Hastings’ Common Room and Napier’s The Cabana.

The Hawkes Bay has always been resolutely kind to the band and firmly in their corner. The Cabana
shows have been legendary and frontman Adam McGrath’s solo appearances both there and at the
common room have always been heart-warming, life affirming as well as the floor cracking and table
standing that he and The Eastern have become known for.

A giant portrait of Adam has also come to life on one wall of the Common Room over lockdown, which
although making him blush a little red with embarrassment means that him and the band have to earn.
