About The Saddleblasters:

The Saddleblasters are a cowboy-country outfit consisting of singer-songwriter Neil Hersey and music producer Dave Maybee.

The Saddleblasters were originally formed during a Northland tour which saw the late John Grenell and Dave performing a show in Kaitaia. On the way back down South John had been handed a cassette tape of demos of a then unknown artist by the name of Neil Hersey. On the tape was 5 of Neil’s original songs which he had recently written, Dave recalls “I was very impressed by the songwriting strengths of this unheard of “newby” as was John, so we decided to invite him to perform a few shows with us and the rest as they say is history”. Neil joined the band as a full time member shortly afterwards and became the principal songwriter for the group.

Lead guitarist and singer Neil along with fellow band member Dave are now the driving force behind The Saddleblasters and are the core musicians of the touring band.

Neil says “The Touriffik platform will greatly assist us with our touring plans, it's about time we had an NZ platform focused on helping new Kiwi talent, I'm excited to be working with them”.
