The Dunedin-based band are promoting the release of their 15 track album Last Bus to Brockville; a quirky collection of originals with a few western swing covers to keep them grounded.
Occupying a musical niche they call "cowboy lounge" music, Skin & Bone members are not new to the road and most of them have toured together in other line-ups, both here and overseas.
Since the band’s formation in 2021, they have been darlings of the swing dance scene in Dunedin, attracting keen Lindy Hoppers to their gigs.
All five are vocalists. Tight harmonies and complex arrangements are a big feature of their sound.
Skin & Bone are: Steve Hudson, drums; Mike Moroney, guitar; John Dodd, bass; Anna Bowen, fiddle and mandolin; and Emily Sterk, clarinet. They will play at the Performing Arts Academy, Geraldine on Friday, July 19.
