Looks like the decision to go full steam ahead and focus on music has been the right one for Joel Shadbolt and L.A.B.
In the time since he stepped back from teaching, the band’s won awards, released new albums, and has just released their summer schedule that will see them tour both New Zealand and Australia.
They’ll be performing alongside Stan Walker and Corrella for three shows in Auckland, Tauranga, and the Gold Coast.
Shadbolt told Mike Hosking they’ve toured with Walker a few times now, and he’s a great addition to their summer line up.
