Great songs, humour, banter and good times guaranteed!
Too Many Chiefs are three of New Zealand’s busiest singer/songwriters: Rob Joass (Hobnail), Andrew London (Andrew London Trio, Hot Club Sandwich) , and Wayne Mason (Fourmula, Warratahs). All tour their own respective shows, sometimes internationally, and once or twice a year come together in Too Many Chiefs to share songs and stories from the road. Their individual influences and performing styles range from blues and jazz to country and folk, often with an element of social commentary, personal reflection and occasional satire.
The trio’s collective repertoire represents a broad spectrum of songwriting styles, and the songs are delivered with skill, enthusiasm and respect, despite a healthy dose of spontaneous mickey-taking banter and self-deprecating humour.
‘Mates on the road rolling out top quality songwriting and musicianship with lashings of irony and humour’ – East Auckland Times.
