Little Bushman is an eclectic New Zealand band, renowned for their dynamic fusion of rock, psychedelic, and blues influences, with a strong undercurrent of native Maori heritage resonating through their music. Formed in Wellington in 2004 by Warren Maxwell (formerly of TrinityRoots), who is the creative force behind the group, Little Bushman has built a reputation for profound and engaging live performances. Alongside Maxwell, who is the lead vocalist and plays guitar and keyboards, the band consists of Rick Cranson on drums, Joe Callwood on guitar, and Tom Callwood on bass.
The band's sonic explorations are evident in their album "Te Oranga," which presents a series of expansive and spiritually-charged compositions that pay homage to their cultural roots while embracing a universal, contemporary sound. Their storytelling prowess and imaginative soundscapes continue to captivate listeners, as shown in their single "Dream of the Astronaut Girl." Their collaborative album "Live in Concert with the NZSO" showcases their ability to weave their unique style with the grandeur of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, marking a historic intersection of genre-defying music. The releases "Pendulum" and "The Onus of Sand" further exhibit the band's ongoing evolution, melding thought-provoking lyrics with experimental riffs, solid rhythms, and an all-encompassing groove that cements their status as one of New Zealand's most innovative and compelling musical acts.
