Join regular artists and bands – perhaps discover someone you haven’t heard before.

Hear my newest songs, ‘Away Hey’, ‘Bring Me Home’, ‘Take A Number’ and ‘Drive’ (which released 30 May 2025).

The Parakao Store is a destination for motor cyclists, classic car enthusiasts and the competitive types who join in Dirt Drags in the summer - and Mud Drags in the wet.

The Store’s owners, Gavin & Jodie Ace, have their own classic cars and they regularly participate in ‘Hillbilly Runs’ – taking classic cars out for a run with friends.

‘Drive’ was written following one of these Hillbilly Runs. A drive that took us over metal roads, past Tane Mahuta and which ended with firelight, as a bunch of us camped down by a river for the night. Magic.

The Parakao Store Jam is like a 6-hour party (give or take). There’s plenty of parking and the venue has an eclectic, rustic vibe.

So, come for the music. And while you’re there, enjoy some of the best home cooked meals this side of the stump!!
