Here on the heels of his recent solo outing Several Songs About Fire, and 2024’sstandalone single Black Holes, the Stars, and You, A. Savage is set to bring hisbrilliant bag of tricks our way, with club shows in Lyttelton and Wellington, and apivotal spot at The Others Way Festival on Saturday 30 November.

Not your ordinary rock star, A. Savage is also an exhibiting painter and visual artist,voracious reader, and thoughtful son of a gun. The John Parish-produced SeveralSongs About Fire refines and bottles the essence of Savage’s songwriting, oftenslowing the pace but increasing the potency. Mojo noted the album “…traces lines toboth Bill Callahan's downbeat philosophising and Jonathan Richman's crafted wit andprimal rock'n'roll chug”, and Paste Magazine enthused that “when it flares, it blazeshigh”.

Anyone who has ever borne witness to Savage on stage will attest there is nobody inthe business who occupies that space quite like him. In a recent review of the A.Savage live show, longstanding music mag Under the Radar exclaimed “Hardly a sidegig, Savage’s solo work and performance is right on par with his best work in his betterknown role,” before going on to call it “one heck of a compelling live show”.Friends, these shows are going to be very special indeed
