Trailblazing emerging artist, Arahi is touring with his ‘There’s Nothing Like It – Piano Tour’ 2022 next month! Coming to The Yard, Raglan on Friday August 19 (taking their own baby grand piano with them across the North Island thanks to the genius of our friends at Undergrand)
In collaboration with Undergrand, Arahi comes to the stage paired back, pouring heart and soul over the keys of this exquisite snow white baby grand piano. This show promises a delicate and insightful look at Arahi, his songs and their many facets. In his words, “it’s a chance to really get to know the songs and the meaning behind them, because we’re in such an intimate setting, which doesn’t happen too often.”
With a reputation for being a bona fide artistic soul, presented as a master of his craft, Arahi juxtaposes classic and contemporary sound with an eclectic, eccentric style. Arahi calls on theatrics and grandiose displays of sound and vision, meticulously crafted, together with a flair for showmanship, constantly pushing the boundaries of Indie music.
Arahi released ‘The Best Thing I’ve Ever Seen’ a blissful, hazy tune, in April, which as Arahi aptly sums up, feels “like a red hot 80’s sun setting on roller-skating silhouettes along a golden boulevard.” The track was released with a bonus B-side – a mesmerizing dance remix of Arahi’s 2020 single ‘Searching In The Sun’.
Arahi released their new single ‘There’s Nothing Like It’ this Matariki, which breezes past your ears to the depths of your soul like a long awaited exhale. This sound is a chance for people to relinquish themselves of the weight on their shoulders, really dive into the music and allow themselves to believe that some things can’t be explained in words.
Arahi recently played alongside iconic NZ artists, The Veils, Bic Runga, Nadia Reid, to a sold out audience at Auckland Stadium’s Lilypad concert. Arahi is looking forward to connecting and creating memorable live experiences with his fans in six different regions of Aotearoa this winter.
Friday August 19 – The Yard, Raglan
