The Llama Lounge Presents: The Danberry's - in Parua Bay! - Saturday December 2nd.

Penny from Parua Bay / Whangarei Heads

We have a treat in store with a touring Nashville based Duo accompanied
by the lovely Vanessa McGowan who you may have caught as half of the
"Tattletale Saints" last year.


Described as "a rhythmically seductive and emotionally connecting band,"
The Danberrys are led by Tennessee-born couple of Ben DeBerry and
Dorothy Daniel - a truly unique pair of artists hailing from East
Nashville, Tennessee.

They've built a special indie-folk vibe around Dorothy's luxuriously
smoky voice and Ben's intricate acoustic guitar flatpicking, with a
sound drawing influences from Bluegrass, Country, Blues, and the
Funk/Soul traditions.

Performing as a trio with Vanessa McGowan (Tattletale Saints) on upright
bass, The Danberrys show takes the listener through the near limitless
nature of the Americana genre.

All three of the band's albums have been nominated for a number of
Independent Music Awards, including Best EP, two nominations for Best
Americana Album, and a recent 2016 win in the Best Bluegrass Song
category.

Book by call or txt to 021749406 $20
Door and Bar open at 7pm 2nd December
** CASH ONLY **
Mt Manaia Bowling Club 1341 Whangarei Heads Road, Parua Bay

I hope to see you there :-)

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
