Welcome to the wonderful world of Kokomo, where you can find just about anything about the band and
its music. If you've got here by accident, Kokomo is a Kiwi blues & roots
band, based in New Zealand's sunny Bay of Plenty.
The band have been together now since 1991, touring constantly, performing at New Zealand's major arts, jazz and blues festivals, and releasing 9 albums and a full-length concert DVD. This is also home for The Self-Righteous Brothers and other activities of the Kokomo crew. |

National Jazz Festival, Tauranga - Saturday 19th April
You can't let a little rain stop the fun! Kokomo's 2 ¼ hour set at the National Jazz Festival was cut short after just half an hour when the promised thunder storm arrived and left the Coast Stage on the Strand under an inch of water. New song “Waiting For a Sunny Day” seemed particularly appropriate! But, as the packed and slightly soggy crowd sheltered from the storm under awnings and brollies, the Kokomo Crew headed across the road to Brew Craft Beer Pub where they gave an impromptu unplugged performance to the delight of surprised punters.
