Aotearoa’s own bluesman Darren Watson comes to The Barn for a special night honouring one of Americana’s songwriting greats – John Hiatt.
With his searing guitar work, soul-drenched vocals, and decades of experience on stage and in the studio, Darren brings Hiatt’s rich catalogue to life in a way only he can. Expect heartfelt ballads, razor-sharp storytelling, and plenty of foot-tapping groove as Watson pays tribute to the legendary American songwriter behind classics like Have a Little Faith in Me, Thing Called Love, and Perfectly Good Guitar.
Whether you're a longtime Hiatt fan or new to his music, this intimate evening of masterful musicianship and lyrical brilliance is not to be missed. Darren’s deep respect for the craft shines through in every note.
Doors 7pm
Steve Mitchell 7.15-8.00
Darren Watson 8.15-9.30
The CD version of the new album 'Darren Watson sings John Hiatt' will be available to purchase on the night.
