about

I was offered the opportunity to do a "livestream" on both the Rolling Stone France Magazine and Galago Musics Facebook pages, needless to say I jumped at the opportunity being a fan of both these musical institutions, the good folks at my label DixieFrog suggested we record the audio as well and make a live album, the fact that it is raw and unedited is an honest representation of my Solo stuff, which I believe in an era of digital manipulation is like a breath of fresh air, I'm a fan of guys like Leadbelly and Muddy Waters and if you listen to that stuff you can hear little things,,slightly out of tune, timing is pushing and pulling, just a little out on the phrasing, the real beauty of this type of music is hidden in those little imperfections, much like life.
I hope you find as much joy in these songs as i did in playing them

Biography by Grant Haua:

I picked up guitar when I was 13, my younger brother had got one for Christmas the year before and I noticed he was already starting to pull chicks at our school, I said to myself “dam I need to get me some of that”, but unfortunately for me my brother was a better looker and player than me, so it didn’t work out as well as I had planned, but I’ve been playing ever since.

I like to think I’ve paid my dues, but its hard to tell growing up and gigging in a small country like New Zealand. Being based in a town with a population of barely 100,000, one feels the need to flex ones muscles against overseas acts, and for the past 10 years that’s what I’ve been trying to do and will continue to do so, I guess for me its not about being better than this act or this band, its about putting on a show that can stand up with the best of them, seeing and feeling the enjoyment of the crowd, that’s the real payoff (and sometimes the only payoff!)

Grant Haua New Zealand

Grant is a down to earth guy. When we put together the pieces of his biography he said, "Nah man, this is all crap. I'm just a guy with his guitar. You have to tell the story without going four ways. " So we thought, who could better tell his story than Grant himself? What follows is his biography, without unnecessary bullshit and straightforward - GH Management ... more
