Ryan Adams and The Shining Wow Auckland Fans!

Ryan Adams and The Shining Wow Auckland Fans!

Wellington Concert Tomorrow

Ryan Adams and The Shining performed a dream set to a packed out crowd at Auckland's Town Hall last night and both fans and media are proclaiming it was his best show in New Zealand to date!

This is the singers fourth visit to our country but the first trip with his incredible new band The Shining. Together a group of very skilled musicians, Ryan Adams and The Shining exceeded expectation and kept the crowd wanting more.

"One thing was clear from the start; Adams enjoys playing with this group of musicians. Often times they would break off into extended jams, sounding at times like The Grateful Dead (on Magnolia Mountain), Neil Young & Crazy Horse (on Peaceful Valley) or Led Zeppelin (on I See Monsters)." - 13th Floor Read full review here

"..how Adams and band scorched the corners of the back pages of his songbook was what made this his most memorable show here yet". - NZ Herald Read the full review here

Fans who attended the concert could not contain their awe and excitement and took to the internet with an array of praise:

"Mind. Officially. Blown."

"Best concert @TheRyanAdams, 2 hours of pure delight..."
