About The Band
Atlantic Wave is a four-piece rock band based in Napier New Zealand that formed in 2018 through Napier Music Academy. At such young ages they play a large variety of songs ranging from The Beatles, to Pearl Jam, One Direction, to Tool. With a large number of gigs under their belt, they are stepping into the world of private functions from 40th's to weddings. This band is sure to rock any venue or event with a vibrant presence sure to get you off your seats. As 2020 regional rock quest winners they are known for their variety of original music and how they add their own spin onto covers. While all of the members are still so young, they put in many hours of practice in hopes to make your event a night to remember through their stage presence and interaction with the crowd. They have performed at many locations and venues such as Paisley stage, Urban Winery, The Westshore Beach Inn, Napier City Council events, The Cabana and are always looking to perform at new places. They have a general passion for music and are always looking for opportunities to learn and grow their talents and are really making waves in the Hawkes Bay Music Community and your event/function.
