Iconic Gospel singer Steve Apirana joins Aaron Partridge for new single release.
Legendary New Zealand gospel blues singer Steve Apirana and Australian musician Aaron Partridge have teamed up to release a brand new single "You Can Call On Him" this February 28th.
"You Can Call On Him" will be made available for streaming on YouTube and at select radio download websites.
The new single, written and produced by Aaron in his home studio, has a Gospel Island feel and has been written specifically with Steve in mind. "I had been getting to know Steve over the last couple of years" said Aaron "and after attending some of Steve's Gospel in the Garden sessions I asked him if we could write a song together. He said no." Aaron says jokingly "But, if I write something he liked then he would sing on it. I went away and came back some time later with You Can Call On Him."
"You Can Call On Him" is Aaron’s first single release for 2025 and comes off the back of his No. 2 Single of the Year award for his 2024 release Heaven Help Me and recent tour to the USA. "It's a great honor to have Steve with me on this song" Aaron said "I have listened to Steve from back when I was still in school, although I try not to remind Steve of how long ago that was."
Having had decades in the music industry, Steve Apirana brings a wealth of wisdom from a life well lived. From playing in Blues Rock bands in New Zealand in the 1970's to touring the world and landing on major gospel festivals through Europe and the USA in the 1990's. What Steve hasn't seen and done with his music, is probably not worth seeing or doing.
Aaron Partridge. along with his band the Brothers of Redemption, performs a road-worn blend of blues-rock and earthy-gospel-soul. After a lengthy hiatus from performing, Aaron recently signed with US label Grace Records Nashville in 2023 and is reintroducing himself to a new audience with brand new music.
Now days Steve performs with his wife Ainsley, who also writes the majority of their material. Steve and Ainsley Apirana are touring in support of their new album "White Linen" having recently arrived home from a European tour and upcoming performances in New Zealand starting February 20 through to mid March 2025.
