WHERE THE WATER RUNS THROUGH, by Guy Wishart
Auckland’s Guy Wishart has been a phantom-like figure in New Zealand music, appearing then disappearing. He’s familiar for his mid to late 80s albums and 1990’s Don’t Take Me for Granted, which saw him nominated as best male vocalist in the music awards and picking up the Silver Scroll songwriting award for the title track.
He subsequently spent periods overseas and, while back home, was in Selon won best folk album in 2017. Now, he steps out again with a sophisticated collection of originals and a coterie of longtime friends as his band: drummer Michael Te Young, bassists Vernon Rive and Andrew Horst and backing singers.
