Bill Lake's Slow Bake

The Undercurrent presents Bill Lake's Slow Bake!

“Gentle, sometimes witty and just as often moving reflections at every turn” – Graham Reid.

Guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Lake is one of New Zealand’s most respected and long-serving practitioners. For more than four decades the singer and guitarist led the iconic country-blues band The Windy City Strugglers, as well as playing with pioneering rock group Mammal in the 70s and fronting brassy funk-rockers The Pelicans in the 80s. His songs have been covered by Midge Marsden, Darren Watson, Kokomo, Rag Poets and Marg Layton.

Bassist Steve Hemmens played with Bill in Mammal. Recently returned from many years in the UK, he adds warmth and swing to the mix.

Long time popular musician Alan Norman plays percussion, accordion, guitar and occasional piano. He is a member of both NZ’s seminal country band The Warratahs, and Wellington band Rag Poets.
