When these two heavyweight roots artists fire up it’s “groove on” for sure.  Steve “Dog” Hall and Karen Clarke Blues Woman bring a powerful, groove-laden blues sound. Individually impressive, together formidable. Guitars weaving, sparring, and locking into a rhythm that just won’t quit. It’s music that lives in the pocket — gritty, warm, and full of pulse — every note feels hand-tooled and every lyric bleeds a little.

Clarke and Hall are seasoned players with miles of road and story behind them. Karen’s soulful vocals and rhythm guitar are steeped in Taranaki grit, while Steve brings decades of blues fire from years on the road. Together they forge a sound that stretches from Mississippi to Chicago to right here at home in Aotearoa — familiar, yet freshly alive and definitely cranking.

Yes-siree their show is raw crankin’ rhythm and good-time groove — songs that sweat, grin, and shake the dust loose. Guitars growl, harmonies soar, and the crowd leans in to the blues stripped back to the bone. 

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Wellington’s Steve “Dog” Hall is a blues guitarist with serious bite — a road-hardened player known for his searing tone, inventive slide work, and grinding rhythm drive. 
A songwriter at heart, Hall brings grit, groove, and attitude to every stage he steps on - and there’s been plenty.
Before turning full-tilt toward the blues, Steve spent 17 years in deep with NZ’s premier heavy-metal outfit Confessor, earning his reputation across Australasia as a fearless, high-voltage performer — serving up heavy, groove-laden bass and searing electric guitar night after night. 
He later shifted gears into roots and blues, lighting up stages with Swamp Dixie, the Frog and Dog duo, and as a key member of Wellington’s famed Caramello Blues Band, traversing genres with both acoustic and electric flair.
When Dog plugs in, guitars growl, amps snarl, and the blues moan, howl and bite back.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;From wind-beaten stages in the lower North Island to late-night sessions deep in the Taranaki back blocks, Karen Clarke has been holding down the groove for decades. Now a rising force in Aotearoa‘s indie blues scene, her live show hits like a freight train — one woman, one guitar, and all the damn feelings.
This indie mama owns her own sound — a gritty, groove-driven mix of blues, RnB, alt-country with an occasional jazz dalliance. If you’re after clichéd boy-blues, keep walking.
Clarke’s got pipes. Her powerhouse honeyed vocal oozes warmth and soul, with textures that range from velvet to sass and gravel. Gutsy, driving rhythm guitar work anchors the show.
Live, shes warm and dangerously disarming. A quiet storm — until the fire kicks in. Presence, power and stories that sting. You don’t just watch a Karen Clarke set — you feel her shift the room. 
She's a one-woman boil up. Honest. Gutsy. Real.

Dog and KC got a thing, for sure.
