About this concert
The band is absolutely stoked to be performing at the The Port of Tauranga National Jazz Festival at St Amand on Sunday March 31st for two sets.
Fuelled by a powerful blend of rock-infused country blues, The DeSotos combine rich harmonies with reverberant guitar sounds, chunky bass runs and warm flourishes of Hammond organ.
** New Zealand style Americana **
The DeSotos are well-heeled travelers on the Americana highway and are a sonic delight to see live, with consistently favourable feedback from a wide range of audiences.

The DeSotos Biography
The DeSotos are a four piece band based in Auckland, New Zealand.
Genre is Americana / country blues.
Paul Gurney - guitar & lead vocals; Stuart McIntyre - bass & vocals,
Ron Stevens - Hammond organ, keyboards & vocals Greg Tell - drums & magic
The DeSotos have cemented their place as New Zealand's leading exponents of the Americana / country blues genres following the release of two albums that have been universally embraced by the critics.
2008's “Cross Your Heart” was voted Manu Taylor's no 1 New Zealand album of the year, and the brand new “Your Highway For Tonight” is receiving glowing 4 star reviews nationally.
Both studio albums have supplied the theme and continuity music to the TVNZ South and North series presented by Marcus Lush plus Shortland Street and Brokenwood Mysteries.
And their live show steps it up a notch further – 4 part harmonies, rootsy Gretsch guitar, Hammond organ with Leslie, and a rock solid rhythm section make for a tight and dynamic live sound that is as exciting as it is unique.
