Event Information
About this event
With a twist of rock, pop, roots and funk flavours over the top of songs you know and love - the fun musical experience White Chapel Jak delivers is always a good time.
Having entertained thousands of locals over the past six years you've probably seen them play at local events and festivals and live shows at Leigh Sawmill Cafe. Starting off at the Matakana markets they are thrilled to be 'growing up' in the music industry now play their own dedicated shows. This is due to the love and local support - we appreciate you all so much!
Bonnie Hurunui - lead singer and a natural born entertainer will have you laughing and singing - sometimes both at once!
Nathan Boston on lead guitar always brings big energy to the stage and as an accomplished classical guitarist (in his former life) plays technical and tasty flourishes that will stick in your mind for days!
Dean Tinning - our beautiful 6'4" bearded viking is not only our "beats master" who will have you dancin' and groovin' - he also sings the high harmonies like an angel.
Michael White on double bass loves playing funky as big phat basslines you feel in your soul.
Doors open: 6.00pm
Band on stage: 7.00pm

Lead singer Bonnie Hurunui is loved for her larger than life stage presence and highly impressive sculpted hair. Her soulful voice and magnetic personality captivate everyone in the crowd.
The masterful Dean Tinning lays out groovy beats and you can’t help but move your feet. Nicknamed “The Viking” his suitcase bass drum, cajon and percussion practically drives you to the dance floor.
Posessing equal measures of cool and quiet, legally blind Michael White can stand on his double bass while playing big phat funky lines.
With a cheeky personality and rather dashing smile to boot, Nathan Boston on lead guitar knows how to truly light up the fret board.
They genuinely love performing and every moment of their journey and dynamic shows reflect this. With a stage that lights up with musical wizardry, laughter and love, it’s easy to see why audiences of every age fall for them wholeheartedly, their music and their story.
