Back of Beyond

The Back of Beyond Duo, featuring Craig Denham and Nathan Torvik, delivers a vibrant, genre-blending musical journey that feels like a warm, sunlit ramble through wild and wonderful landscapes.

With Craig’s expressive accordion, piano keys, whistles, foot percussion, and soulful vocals anchoring the sound, alongside Nathan’s versatile multi-instrumentalism on guitar, bass, mandolin (and whatever else strikes the moment), their music weaves together funky folk grooves, Celtic spirit, Cuban rhythms, classical elegance, and heartfelt originals with well-loved covers.

It’s intimate, foot-tapping, feel-good fusion—perfect for house concerts, intimate venues, and anyone who loves music that crosses borders with joy, groove, and storytelling warmth. Their chemistry turns every performance into a shared adventure from the heart of New Zealand’s creative music scene.
