We are delighted to be bringing Shez Raja back to Birkenhead on Friday 18th July, this time accompanied by Guthrie Govan.

Voted one of the ‘Hottest Bass Players in the World’ by readers of Bass Player magazine, virtuoso bass player and Parkgate’s own Shez Raja returns to Future Yard’s stage after a storming performance back in September. An artist renowned for his high-energy live shows, unique Indo-jazz-funk sound, and global collaborations with the likes of Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Dennis Chambers, and Wayne Krantz, Raja brings his dynamic style to the stage once again.

Joining him on-stage is electric guitar sensation Guthrie Govan, a man with numerous accolades, including being voted ‘Guitarist of the Year’ in Guitarist magazine and appearing on the cover of Guitar Player magazine. The go-to player for Hans Zimmer, Govan’s virtuosic technique and bold creativity have earned him a reputation as guitar royalty on the world stage.

Together, they are set to perform fresh music from their new album, Spellbound, inspired by Shez’s travels to Punjab in the Indian subcontinent. Expect exhilarating music that transcends cultural boundaries, blending East and West with mesmerising melodies, intricate rhythms, and heartfelt compositions.
