*** In response to ongoing developments in New Zealand's COVID alert levels we've unfortunately had to cancel both performances of POWERHOUSE this week. Those who have booked have now been sent an email to explain that a refund will be processed -please check your inboxes for this info and get in touch if you have any concerns.
Ella, the band and Te Auaha Venues share your disappointment that these gigs won’t go ahead. However, we stand in support of all efforts to reduce the virus's hold on Aotearoa as quickly and effectively as possible. Our thoughts are especially with those in Auckland - and elsewhere - who have forfeited taking part in non-essential activities in favour of staying home and keeping our communities safe.
Keep safe and be kind out there - we hope to see you here soon.
Nga mihi nui, Te Auaha + the POWERHOUSE team ***
Powerhouse vocalist Ella Monnery from The Voice AU takes to the stage with two epic nights of disco, R&B, and soul, in a roof-raising celebration of live music. Bringing back the best of the era to funk you up with a brand-new POWERHOUSE concert!
After her debut POWERHOUSE concert in 2019, Coca Cola’s Christmas in the Park and Synthony, Ella returns to Wellington with a reimagined sequel set-setlist featuring the music of Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, and many more from the decades of disco and musical decadence. Bringing the house down with some of Aotearoa’s finest funk musicians from the 09 Session Band, POWERHOUSE is accompanied by Ross Nansen, Moiho Leaupepe, Isaac Etimani, Jireh Falaniko and the dynamic horn duo Brass4sho Thabani Gapara and Christian Mausia. Supported by backing vocalists Hannah McGrail and Nate Dousand, this is more than just a gig, it’s a transcendent evening of musicianship and pure entertainment with New Zealand’s own powerhouse talent!
