Towering tour reaches heights at Nivara Lounge

- EVENT

After touring the country in the show ‘‘Bowie, Waiting in The Sky’’, Skyscraper Stan returns to New Zealand in October for a nationwide tour.

Skyscraper Stan Woodhouse was raised with an innate appreciati­on for language.

Although he had been writing poetry and fiction from a young age, it wasn’t until his mid teens that he first turned his attention to songwritin­g.

The expansive emptiness of Australia has served as a great inspiratio­n to Stan’s songwritin­g.

His autobiogra­phical and observatio­nal lyricism seems to belie his relative youth.

Most at home on the Hume Highway or any of the other tarmac ribbons crisscross­ing the country, Stan tours both solo and with his band.

Held at Nivara Lounge, Stan will perform his latest album ‘‘Last Year’s Tune’’ with his band members Oskar Herbig - lead guitar, Martin Schilov - bass, and Corbin Kuhtze - drums.

Also singing with him on the tour are New Zealand’s own The Ravens: Reb Fountain and Alice Ryan Williams.
