Back of Beyond is the coming together of two kindred musical explorers. Craig Denham on accordion, keys, whistles, foot percussion and vocals and multi-instrumentalist Nathan Torvik on whatever he decides to play on the day! The two have performed together on and off over the years with Nathan being a part of Beyondsemble for a while and also touring NZ under the name of The Back of Beyond together with Nathans partner Siobhan in 2018. Their virtuosic musical chemistry is tangible and, with a love of improvisation, they’re not afraid to dive into whatever musical rabbit holes might appear on any given gig. With a huge range of styles and influences to draw on from various folk and world musics to blues, reggae, jazz flavours and improvised soundscapes, expect a night of lush musical richness tinged with humour and not taking oneself too seriously.
