Bond Street Bridge is Auckland-based multi-instrumentalist, Sam Prebble. He conjures up a combination of evocative lyrics and sonically lush instrumental arrangements.
Bond Street Bridge is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Sam Prebble. Sam has become a fixture of the Auckland alternative folk scene over the past few years, playing mandolin, fiddle and guitar with The Broken Heartbreakers, Reb Fountain's Bandits, and the Hannah Curwood Band, as well as appearing as a guest on a range of other projects. He has been playing various instruments for as long as he can remember, and one of his favorite hobbies is learning to play more of them.
The live set is a solo show in which Sam uses loop pedals and tape echoes to build up layers of guitar, violin, beats and vocals to produce a hypnotic, compelling and original sound. Audiences are drawn in to the strange world Bond Street Bridge conjures up with a combination of evocative lyrics and sonically lush instrumental arrangements. Songs about birds rub up against tales of adventure and loss, and covers of old folk songs nestle amongst rich soundscapes.
