The four-piece acoustic band (with a big band sound) claimed the Radio New Zealand 2018 Battle of the Covers Band title and have performed more than 600 gigs NZ-wide since 2014 including Soundsplash 2020 and the Bay of Islands ‘iT’ festival.

Accompanied by the Auckland Symphony Orchestra they headlined the Auckland SeePort Festival for a crowd of 15,000 in January 2020, and opened for Alanis Morrissette at the 2018 Summer Concert Tour and Bonnie Tyler at 2017 Summer Concert Tour.

“We’re so excited to celebrate what New Zealand, as a team of five-million, have achieved during lockdown”, Bonnie Hurunui, lead singer and rhythm guitarist says. “Like many others, our livelihoods though our ability to entertain and perform was taken away during lockdown. Now, we’re back and we couldn’t be more excited and ready to raise the roof and celebrate! Here’s to us New Zealand!”

Bonnie is known and loved for her larger than life stage presence and highly impressive sculpted hair. Her soulful voice and magnetic personality captivate every audience member.

The masterful Dean Tinning lays out groove based beats that make you want to move your feet. Nicknamed “The Viking” his suitcase bass drum, cajon and percussion practically drives you to the dance floor.

Posessing equal measures of cool and quiet, legally blind Michael White can stand on his double bass while playing big phat funky lines. With a cheeky personality and rather dashing smile to boot, Nathan Boston on lead guitar knows how to truly light up the fretboard.

Funky Soul and Boogie-Dub specialists Tropical Downbeat Orchestra have been lighting up dance floors across the country for over 15 years.

Think funk 45’s with that soul singing sister, winding up her hips with a band of brothers providing the deep fried beats and abstract cuts. A unique blend of musicians, an equally unique sound.

Based in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, collectively TDO is a fun loving family who share a passion for music. Lead vocalist Margot Pierard lets her voice do the work and her hips do the shaking, at times silky smooth, others raw and commanding. She works the band with her every delivery.
