8th OCTOBER 2022- WHITE CHAPEL JAK
White Chapel Jak are a lovable Kiwi grassroots band that have been capturing crowds around Aotearoa - with their funk, pop, roots, soul style of music. Think in the genre zone of Six60 and LAB - then sprinkle a charismatic Maori front woman with a bold, soulful voice ... that's White Chapel Jak.
White Chapel Jak have opened for Ben Harper and Alanis Morissette, and entertained more than 15,000 people at the SeePort Festival in Auckland performing with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra two years in a row. Many of the shows sold out as their reputation and following grew.
As live performers White Chapel Jak steal the show! Their music is groovy and funky and cool. With a growing fan base they’ve earned a reputation over the past seven years for delivering great music, good times and good vibes. That's why they're selling out live shows around New Zealand!!!
Nailing ballads through to bangers that span decades of hits and have everyone dancing, the bands playlist is now peppered with their original music, to create high-energy shows.
Lead singer Bonnie Hurunui has a powerhouse voice and charisma that gets everyone up, supported by the talented drummer, Dean Tinning and guitarist Nathan Boston, with guest artists joining them at live shows.
“We love the energy and vibe of our people having a good time,” Hurunui says. “So that’s what our shows and music are all about – the best that life has to offer, good music, good people and good times.”
With their recent release of their debut single “Good Time”. It’s a catchy, roots style kiwi summer song that reminds you of cruising through sunny Aotearoa with good friends, whanau, aroha, beaches and great tunes. It’s everything that is White Chapel Jak. Good people, good music, good times.
