Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul playng first NZ show

Bluesfest Touring are thrilled to announce that musician, songwriter, producer, actor, director, activist, radio DJ and one of the founding members of Bruce Springsteen’s iconic E Street Band, Steven Van Zandt, is bringing his rousing “Soulfire” tour to New Zealand for one headline show this April!

"The best bands, like this one, know they have a job to do. If you have an arse at all, they are here to kick it for you...Van Zandt’s lifetime love affair with rock n’ roll, in all its myriad forms, shines through in every note played and sung tonight. A great show."Hot Press

Following on from a performance at the famed Byron Bay Bluesfest, Little Steven and his powerful 14-piece band the Disciples of Soul, bring their critically acclaimed soul-infused Rock n Roll “Soulfire” show to Auckland’s Town Hall for one night only on Saturday 27 April.

Each show takes fans on an epic and electrifying journey through Rock and Roll history led by one of its most passionate practitioners, Little Steven.

“It is joyful, infectious and life-affirming. The kind of show you can enjoy without knowing any of the music. If you get the chance to see this configuration of The Disciples of Soul, we urge you to see it.” - Planet Slop

As well as co-producing two of Springsteen’s most beloved albums, Born In The U.S.A and The River, Little Steven has countless other accolades to his name including helping create the “Jersey Shore” sound with the Asbury Jukes, a starring role in two award-winning TV shows The Sopranos and Lilyhammer and as host of the acclaimed weekly international radio show Little Steven’s Underground Garage.
