Live Music – Sweet Az
Fresh from selling out the recent Sips and Sounds event, Otehei Bay welcomes back, Sweet Az, a dynamic five-piece band based in the Far North, known for their high-energy performances and versatile musical expression. The band delivers an eclectic repertoire, blending Rock ‘n Roll classics with modern chart-toppers.
Asia Sagripanti, the lead vocalist, brings star power and charisma, having made it to the finals of The Voice Italy at just 18 years old. Rameka Wharerau, their accomplished bassist, is also a member of the iconic New Zealand reggae band House of Shem. Mack Lynn anchors the group with his powerful drumming, while Rawhiti Turnbull showcases exceptional rhythmic and melodic expertise. On vocals and guitar is Erick Gerber, whose technical precision and soulful flair captivate audiences.
Formed in mid-2022, Sweet Az’s collective talent and experience make them a top-tier Northland musical gem, guaranteed to leave your audience saying, “That party was sweet az!”
