An Evening with Cowboy Junkies - Christchurch

Presented by: DRW Entertainment

Cowboy Junkies return to New Zealand to perform a career-spanning show celebrating their incredible 40 years. Performing songs from the multiplatinum The Trinity Session to their most recent, universally acclaimed album, Such Ferocious Beauty.

In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise - and it was compelling. It stood out amid the flash and bombast that defined the late 80s. The Trinity Session featured the band’s unforgettable cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane”, combining folk, country, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before, going on to sell more than a million copies.

Where most bands chase trends, the Junkies have stayed their course, maintaining a low-impact excavation of melody and evocative language delivered sotto voce in singer Margo Timmins’ feathery alto.
