Swamp Thing to Headline Framingham’s Friday the 13th Harvest Concert
The annual Framingham Harvest Concert, scheduled for Friday 13th March, will kick off another stunning vintage in
Marlborough. North Island based band Swamp Thing will headline the event along with local groups The Sub Regionals and
Big Scout.
Long-time John Butler Trio drummer (2003-2009) Michael Barker in 2010 formed the two man Blues/Roots juggernaut Swamp
Thing with Grant Haua. Swamp Thing’s energetic live performances are renowned for inspiring concert goers to get up and
dance while showcasing a wealth of musical talent and engaging their audience with some remarkable performances.
Barker’s ability to play drums, keyboards and sing simultaneously offers a unique experience for the audience while
Grant Haua’s rich vocal timbre combined with a furious worldly blues guitar style form a notably greater sum of their
individual parts. Swamp Thing have written & recorded two albums ' Balladeer ' & ' Primordium '.
Supporting Swamp Thing is resident wine fraternity band, The Sub Regionals, and Marlborough’s newest group, Big Scout
who described themselves as a ‘grubby little 3 piece from Blenheim’ and include members Gregg Slatter, Matt Hellriegel
and Jim Tannock.
To accompany the exceptional musical line-up will be delicious local food, Framingham’s distinctively unique wines and
locally brewed Renaissance beer, all ensuring an outstanding evening is had by all.
