SUMMARY:Adam McGrath and Gary McCormick - The Mainline Tour
DESCRIPTION:“Two drifters off to see the world” as the song goes\, a romantic vision\, a\ndream of two pals one lonesome\, one a wide river\, an apt mission statement\nfor two of New Zealand’s most lively raconteurs the veteran gentleman of the\nroad\, and the young Turk\, Gary McCormick and Adam McGrath. \nBoth need little introduction if any but for nearly fifty years McCormick has\nbeen a beloved part of the kiwi fabric\, from the rolling\, surf riding\, poetry\nslinging little brother of the road during his wild years with Sam Hunt\, through\nto the country’s favourite uncle across our tv screens in the late eighties and\nnineties to the wily veteran who kept our spirits up through radios nationwide\,\nGary has seen everything\, learned every story and found a direct line in\nmaking Kiwis\, happier\, wiser\, more understanding of their big little country and\nhas done it all with a good humor\, a stiff drink and a turn of phrase that makes\neveryone believe he’s their friend. \nMcGrath has carved a dogged place in the nations hearts as one of our\nfavourite folk singers\, award winning\, plaudit gathering and named once as\n“New Zealand’s toughest minded songwriter”\, he’s grown from the young\nrowdy rambler into one of the country’s most astute communicators\, afraid of\nno man nor no stage he’s seen every floor and rest stop in these wild isles and\nticks off 100 plus shows a year and shows no sign of quitting.\nThe Mainline tour was born out over a tribute drink down in the Lyttelton Arms\nPub the day Gary’s old road buddy Tim Shadbolt passed. Gary\, Tim and the\naforementioned Sam Hunt\, all laid the blueprint for McGrath’s life and work;\nstrong art\, deep words\, high jinks and a natural way built for all comers. The\nidea of a tour was inevitable. \nThis Year will see them driving hard nationwide\, sharing Stories\, Songs\,\npoems and crack ups all designed to make sense of who we are\, where we’ve\nbeen\, where we’re going and what in the hell it’s all meant to mean.\nBuilt for Farmers\, Teachers\, Solo mums\, Labourers\, gamblers\, high rollers\,\nbroke hearts and broke asses\, big hearts\, tired minds\, greenies\, weirdos\,\nstraights\, bankers and bullshitters\, the mainline hopes to carry us all. Get on\nboard\, this train is bound for glory! \n

(DUN)\, S.E.I.S.M.I.C\, The Perfect Gun & GRIFTHORSE performing acts of both creative daring & sonic bravery for one night only. \nThe board is set\, the coin of fate is careening back towards the earth it was forged from. \nGRIFTFEST is calling.
