Longest Running Country Show Ever

Bar Africa is the birth place of the ‘American’ Acoustic Country Sundays

(HIBISCUS COAST) – 16 October 2009 – What does a African themed bar and restaurant and America’s most popular music genre have in common? Acoustic Country Sunday. A family friendly show hosted weekly by American singer/songwriter/entertainer - JamesRAy.

“I’ve been told our weekly live acoustic show is the longest running show of it’s kind in Auckland if not all of New Zealand,” says JamesRAy. “The owners of Africa Restaurant, Bar and Function Centre and the supporters of the music have made Acoustic Country Sunday a regular 12-3pm event on their calendars for well over four years running.”

In the spring and summer the show is outside in an inviting courtyard full of family and friends that enjoy all the food and drink that the venue has to offer. In the fall and winter everyone is comfortably inside with a cosy fireplace and the most hospitable staff anywhere.

When asked why she thinks Acoustic Country Sunday has proven to be so popular General Manager Tina says, “It’s really a great combination of JamesRAy’s high standards, style and personality to entertain an audience coupled with a friendly staff eager to serve quality food and drink in a spacious environment. But I guess having said all that, it’s really because it’s the only show of its kind that pulls in the best bunch of loyal country music fans you could ever imagine. I didn’t even think I liked country music until I got to experience it this way, now I’ve gone country!”

Each week JamesRAy has a featured guest artist. Local and international artists have been featured at the weekly event.

Mark your calendars for a very special treat over Labour weekend: the annual JamesRAy Birthday Bash and Jam. Many featured guest artists return for a fun filled day of music and celebration. And, it’s all FREE!
