The Retro Pack
About
The Retro Pack is a collab of Wellington & Kapiti-based performers who have been delivering sell-out shows at jazz festivals and theatres all over New Zealand since their first outing in 2002, when vocalist/playwright/movie producer April Phillips conceived ‘Blue Eyes’; a tribute to Frank Sinatra. The show’s sell-out success at Wellington’s Circa Theatre set them off on a series of shows celebrating the ‘Great American Songbook’.Specialising in ‘Great Gatsby’- themed shows which celebrate that turbulent era of gangsters & flappers, with romantic ballads such as ‘At Last’ & ‘It Had to Be You’, Charleston-style classics including ’Ain’t She Sweet’, ‘Five Foot Two’ & ‘Bye Bye Blackbird’, and timeless favourites including ‘Mack The Knife’ & ‘Putting on The Ritz’.
Alongside the velvet-vocals of April Phillips, the Retro Pack features Kapiti entertainers Andrew & Kirsten London (guitar & bass respectively), crooner & saxophonist James Tait-Jamieson, & drummer Michael Franklin-Browne.
