After having a quiet few years on the gig front focusing on writing and upskilling as a producer, Devon Welch has come flying back into 2023 swinging like a madman. Having crossed The Powderkeg Ohakune, Anthology Lounge, Portland Public House and his Vinyl release show at The Raumati Social Club off the list, all of his punches seem to be landing in the heaviest of ways.
His most recent gig- Live streamed to Youtube by a quickly expanding project named HiViz Jamz. This initiative was concocted during the lockdowns as a way for people to watch a live band play during their time at home (And for the musicians to keep doing what they love). Quickly gaining momentum this outfit is currently operating on a mutual benefit agreement providing a professional team heading up their video, sound and hospitality.

Darren Whittaker (The Pink Floyd Experience), Cathy Elizabeth (Band RAIN) / Reef Reid (Photography/Video), Thomas Te Taite (Ultimate Soundman/Muso) and the Locals "Nod" and Fatboy "Tony" are the names of which this awesome Kaupapa was founded, nurtured and brought to life.
"The hospitality and professionalism that we experienced going into their studios to perform was second to none, they made it so easy to have fun" Says Devon.
HiViz Jamz is open to good acts with music that suits their vibe that are also looking to create some content, approaching them to get on the stream.
