Ara Adams-Tamatea
Ara is a full-time musician based in the Bay of Plenty NZ. If you have ever had the opportunity to see Ara play live you will appreciate his skill and passion for his craft
L.A.B. was founded by the legendary Kora brothers Brad Kora (drums) and Stu Kora (guitar, keys) and quickly engaged Joel Shadbolt on lead vocals & guitar and Ara Adams-Tamatea from the mighty Katchafire on bass.
Not only is Ara an amazing musician, but his talent extends to Co-Producing and Co-Engineering.
Ara owns a one-off custom McPherson wood top bass fuzz, along with some other specific custom units made and gets his precious music gear regularly serviced and repaired and his basses re-strung at our McPherson Workshop.
