Faultlines

Blues-based songwriter, singer and guitarist Al Witham is a native Wellingtonian steeped in the music of the deep South, but with his feet firmly located in Aotearoa/New Zealand. His songs combine a swampy blues feel with finely crafted lyrics that explore the ambiguities and hard facts of relationships and modern life, delivered with a unique bourbon baritone voice and an instantly recognisable guitar style based on feel, not pyrotechnics.

Al's second album, 'Fautlines', finds him hitting his straps and achieving a fully developed personal voice that goes beyond the tired cliches of blues.
