Storehouse perform a uniquely raw and
thoughtful blend of blues, calypso and spirituals, designed for
dancing yet with an ear for artistic integrity and innovation - not
the sleepy blooze sounds so often associated with the genre.
Their funky and improvisatory tour through lesser-known
backstreets of blues and roots music includes unconventional
re-imaginings of slave songs and street-preacher music, as well as
double entendre-laced tunes from the Caribbean.
Storehouse shows also feature choice cuts drawn
from early female blues, sung by Auckland actress and singer
Colleen Davis, highlighting the often stark and surreal world of
female blues expressionism.
