# Event Details - **Event Name**: The WBS presents: a concert featuring Skin and Bone - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+13:00) - **Event Description**: From deepest Dunedin comes the quirky quintet known as Skin and Bone. Formed in early 2019 from two of Dunedin's longest-running contemporary folk and jazz bands Catgut and Steel and The Chaps, Skin and Bone are: John Dodd (bass, vocals), Stephen “Wee Huddy” Hudson (drums, vocals), Mike Moroney (guitar, vocals), Anna Bowen (fiddle, mandolin, vocals) and Emily Sterk (clarinet, saxophone, vocals). They are five superb musicians with a pedigree as long as your arm, bringing you a solid repertoire of Western Swing with a decidedly Kiwi bend. Based on the country-jazz sounds of the 30s and 40s, this most danceable band will have you immersed in the tight harmonies and musicianship of ol’ time Americana and Kiwi originals in equal measure. In their self-styled genre of Cowboy Lounge, they have no peer. Drawing heavily on the legacy of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, The Mills Brothers, Leon Redbone and others of their ilk, Skin and Bone bring their swing styles to the Great American Songbook and add plenty of their own quirky original songs to every performance. With five diverse singers, their arrangements are predictably vocal-forward and well harmonised; with fiddle, mandolin and clarinet lines at once both authentic in style and unique. Locally they have become the darlings of the young and vibrant swing dance scene and are the band of choice of Dunedin dance chapter Swing Riot for their regular Lindy Hop and Blues events and the Dunedin Swing Festival. On the back of their recent appearance at the Whare Flat and Canterbury Folk Festivals, and their recently released album Last Bus to Brockville, they bring their particular schtick to the South of the North in a whirlwind four-day tour of Carterton, New Plymouth, Palmerston North and Wellington. Be it festivals, dances, concerts or any showcase, Skin and Bone are the entertainment choice that will have brogues tapping, dresses swirling and smiles and earworms to take home.
