White Line Fever: For Live Country Music and Roots Rock, Book Us

Are you planning an event or festival? Are you a pub or venue looking for a live act that plays feel-good songs that can also get the floor moving?

White Line Fever are a country and roots-rock band that brings high energy songs, heartfelt ballads, and everything in between.

Available across the Wellington region, the Lower North Island and sometimes further afield, we can play pubs, clubs, music festivals and private events.

We cover a lot of ground instrumentally: electric and acoustic guitar, pedal steel, banjo, mandolin, dobro, piano, keyboard, bass, and drums, with fiddle on the way soon. The result is a full, rootsy American sound that's not always easy to find around the Lower North Island.

We're all seasoned live performers, so expect a tight, confident show from the first note.

We cover a broad sweep of music. Mostly classic and modern popular country, along with some surprises: roots-rock, country-rock, alt-country, and some Australian and New Zealand country. We'll also throw in the odd pop/rock song that has been countrified to fit the set. Our repertoire spans the 1950s to the 2020s.

So far, we've been working on songs by artists like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Emmylou Harris, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Johnny Paycheck, Bob Dylan, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett, Kenny Rogers, Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, The Bellamy Brothers, Dwight Yoakam, Chris Isaak, Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, Dave Edmunds, The Traveling Wilburys, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Allman Brothers Band, The Byrds, Clint Black, Eddie Rabbitt, Ella Langley, Gretchen Wilson, Jo Dee Messina, Mark Chesnutt, Bobby Bare, Dave Dudley, Delbert McClinton, Tom T. Hall, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Mavericks, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Earl Keen, Radney Foster, Shooter Jennings, Terry Allen, Santo & Johnny, Slim Dusty, Kaylee Bell, James Blundell, James Reyne, The Fargone Beauties — with many more to come.

We have our first three-set live show lined up for November 2026, with more shows planned after that. If you're planning an event around that time or beyond, please get in touch now to discuss availability — email us at whitelinefevernz@proton.me or feel free to send a message here. Thanks.
