By the time the first strings are strummed and the bow hits the fiddle at Paraoa Brewing Co. on Sunday, 23rd November 2025, it’ll be clear - country rock is alive and kicking in Whangaparaoa, and it’s being led by none other than Barbie Davidson and Nick Jones.

Barbie Davidson, a shining star in New Zealand’s Country music scene, first stole hearts with her 2006 album Two Hearts, an authentic collection of country anthems and tender ballads that still resonates with fans today.

Re-released with a refreshed cover, Two Hearts is available now on Bandcamp.com for those ready to rediscover (or fall in love for the first time), with her sound.

Joining Barbie on stage is virtuosic violinist Nick Jones, a performer whose fiery fiddle work, adds depth, flair, and toe-tapping energy to every song.

Together, Barbie and Nick perform as a dynamic duo, blending heartfelt harmonies, driving rhythms, and old-school country soul into an unforgettable live experience.

Their upcoming show at Paraoa Brewing Co. is a lot more than a just a concert, it’s a celebration of Kiwi Country spirit.

With a special appearance from the Homegrown Line Dancing Club, this show will not only entertain but get audiences involved too.

These dancers won’t just be performing, they’ll be inviting the audience to join them on the floor, turning the venue into a joyous, boots-and-all country rock party.

The event is proudly presented by GAP Radio, Whangaparaoa’s home of community-driven audio streaming and Barbie’s official promoters.

GAP Radio has been championing Barbie’s music across the Internet and now brings that energy straight to the stage.
