Kiwi reggae onstage at the Hawkins Theatre - Papakura

Upcoming kiwi reggae stars Sons of Zion are set to play the Hawkins
Theatre on Saturday 19th March. The Sons of Zion are a six piece crew
hailing from various locations around Aotearoa.

Their live stage presence has captivated audiences all over New Zealand
and their infectious sound is a mixture of reggae and roots groove with
melodic vocals, phat dubby base lines and metal inspired guitar riffs.

Since their 2007 New Zealand Music Month debut, Sons Of Zion have
continued to build momentum both here and in Australia through touring
and playing at festivals such as Parachute and just recently the 2011
Raggamuffin Reggae Festival alongside internationals Mary J Blige, Jimmy
Cliff and the Wailers.

In their short time on the local roots scene, Sons of Zion have already
shared the stage with some of the country’s best loved roots acts
including KORA, Katchafire, The Blackseeds, Cornerstone Roots, House of
Shem, Three Houses Down and Aardijah.

Sons of Zion are looking forward to their Papakura gig and are currently
working towards a second album to be released in late 2011.

Support comes from South Auckland’s eight piece band, Valiant BOYS.
