New Zealand music’s Elder Statesmen, the NZ Highwaymen, announce their ‘Tour 25.’
After two sold-out tours in 2023 and 2024, these legendary musicians are ready to once again captivate audiences with their timeless music.
Brendan Dugan, Gray Bartlett, Dennis Marsh, and Frankie Stephens, collectively known as the “New Zealand Highwaymen”.
Each artist boasts a distinguished solo career, but when they come together as the New Zealand Highwaymen, the magic is undeniable. They continue to captivate audiences with their timeless music, humour and entertainment.
The 2023 tour included the late Eddie Low, from tour came the recording a live DVD and CD – ‘Live from the James Hay’ which went on to gain a #1 on the NZ Official Album Charts.
When Eddie became unwell the team asked Frankie Stevens to step in and audiences absolutely adored Frankie on the 2024 Tour.
The New Zealand Highwaymen go out on the road in 2025 remembering & celebrating their dear friend Eddie, The voice in a million who sadly passed in 2024.
