Garrett Kato is a Canadian born musician and songwriter. He now lives
in Byron Bay, New South Wales with his Australian partner and daughter.
Kato's sound is
described as subtle images of a younger darker Springsteen with the moments of
lush beautiful instrumentation from the likes of Bon Iver and The War on
Drugs. Kato has toured extensively throughout Australia including a 33
date sold out support slots for Pete
Murray, Bernard Fanning and Kasey Chambers along with
multiple sold out headline Australian tours.
In 2015 Kato released
his second LP, That
Low and Lonesome Sound, to much critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone Magazine
exclaiming, “A gentile
gem rich with songwriting nous and emotion leaking from every pore” .
Frazey will bring audience favourites September Fieldsand Donedown under alongside her latest single release, a lush reinterpretation of D’Angelos’ When We Get By.

With the momentum of her two solo albums—2010’s Obadiah and 2014’s Indian Ocean—Frazey
is returning to Afterlife
Studios to record her third outing which will be released by Arts & Crafts Records.
Frazey will be taking the seat of co-producer with John Raham (We Are The City, Soujouners,
Destroyer), a familiar face from Frazey’s past projects, and
her new album will showcase talent from Vancouver and international A-listers
alike.
The lightness and hallowed grace Frazey Ford casts on audiences during her live
performances lifts melodies to new heights as she sings about renewal,
strength, pain, tough truths, knowing when to breath in and let go, trusting
yourself, being bold and appreciating all the nuances of love to be found in
life.
It’s an experience Auckland audiences will be able to immerse themselves in
this November.
The
East Vancouver-based singer songwriter exudes equal parts Americana,
alt-country and soul. Known as the golden voice from 90's exquisite alt
folksters, Be Good
Tanyas; Frazey Ford has bloomed as a solo artist with
her honey-dipped restraint in her vocals and lyrical intimacies finding a
growing audience around the world as her YouTube videos amassed over 2 million
views.
The feisty music video for stand-out track Done from
her latest critically-lauded album Indian
Ocean, caught the viral attention of everyone from NPR Music to Buzzfeed to Rhythms Magazine Australia; which not
only showcased her dance moves and sassy strut, but also Frazey’s fabulous
jumpsuit collection.
