The Back of Beyond is the coming together of two kindred musical explorers.
Craig Denham on Accordion, Keys, whistles, foot percussion and vocals and multi-instrumentalist Nathan Torvik or whatever he decides to play on the day!
The two have performed together on and off over the years with Nathan being a part of Beyondsemble for a while and also touring NZ under the name of The Back of Beyond together with Nathans partner Siobhan in 2018.
Their virtuosic musical chemistry is tangible and, with a love of improvisation, they’re not afraid to dive into whatever musical rabbit holes might appear on any given gig.
With a huge range of styles and influences to draw on from various folk and world musics to blues, reggae, jazz flavours and improvised soundscapes, expect a night of lush musical richness tinged with humour and not taking oneself too seriously.
