One of New Zealand’s musical greats is winging his way back over for a special celebration. 

Greg Johnson has been making music and touring for nearly 40 years, and this year marks the 30th anniversary of his third album ‘Vine Street Stories’. 

The album is home to many of Johnson’s most enduring hits, including ‘Don’t Wait Another Day’, ‘If I Swagger’, and ‘Pleasure and Overdose’. 

He’s returning to New Zealand in April and May for the 30th anniversary tour, performing up and down the country. 

Johnson told Mike Hosking that he has fond memories of the record, as it was a great time and was his first one to go gold.  

He says they’ll be playing the whole record, start to finish, as the first set on the tour. 

“The second set we’ll play a bunch of stuff, I guess, from the newer albums and other older realms, but that is, that’s the exciting thing.” 

“Some of these songs have never been played live before, even when they were recorded.” 

“It’s a fun challenge,” he said.
