TROY KINGI & THE CACTUS HANDSHAKE | TONES. Live at BIG FAN - Season 2

Troy Kingi & the Cactus Handshake | TONES. Live at BIG FAN - Season 2

Troy Kingi & the Cactus Handshake, along with Troy's three daughters, grace Big Fan to perform reimagined and stripped-back waiata from his latest psychedelic rock album, 'Leatherman & the Mojave Green'.

Kingi is a creative at heart with passions spanning beyond music. His latest album is the 8th released in his mission to create 10 albums in 10 years and across 10 different genres! It was a privilege to capture Troy and the band during their rock era and even more of a blessing to host such a musical kiwi legend on TONES for our final BIG FAN episode this year. He's an artist to listen to, learn from and feel inspired by.

Performing in our second to last episode for the season, here's how a musical legend sets the TONE.
