Celebrating the Rat Pack Era.
Get ready to swing and croon with Rutene Spooner – the Māori Crooner, Shea Kokaua, the Kūki Keysman, in Aotearoa’s newest Vegas-style jazz tribute! Enjoy classics like Fly Me to the Moon, Luck Be a Lady, and local favourites like Poi E and Slice of Heaven. This cheeky duo channels the swing and swagger of the iconic Rat Pack era, blending timeless jazz with the spirit of the South Pacific! From the young to the young-at-heart, come for the music, stay for the laughs, and put on the ritz with The Velvet Rebels!

Performed by Rutene Spooner (Ngāti Porou, Ngāruahine, Ngāti Kahungunu) and Shea Kokaua.
Supported by Bowater Toyota
