Eagle-Eye Cherry: Swedish Musician on his NZ tour, love for performing, and classic hit 'Save Tonight' - Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

As the son of jazz legend Don Cherry, Eagle-Eye Cherry seemed destined for a life in the creative arts. His song Save Tonight is a boneafide classic, storming the charts upon its release. 

He leads a much more low-key life nowadays than he did back in the 90’s, but he’s still writing and performing live, and is set to visit New Zealand alongside the legendary UB40. 

It’ll be the first time Cherry has visited the country, and he told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame he’s very much looking forward to it. 

“It’s been on my bucket list for my entire life,” Cherry revealed. 

“So I’m really excited to come there and get to play for my fans, and to get to hear UB40 live, which I’ve never done.”
