This July, three of New Zealand's finest folk acts will join forces for a hearty live experience you won't want to miss. Their energy combined is enough to power a small village!
Exemplary New Zealand artists Nadia Reid, Marlon Williams, Aldous Harding and Delaney Davidson are now taking
the world by storm with their variations of folk music, and there is more from
where that came from on this fertile land. Folk is back, and it is not going
away anytime soon.
Albi & The Wolves are the most recent recipients of
the 2018 Tui for Best Folk Artist for their
stunning debut album One Eye Open, which
captures the Auckland trio's captivating blend of folk with modern
sensibilities of neighbouring genres and styles. From Wellington via
Scotland, The Frank Burkitt Band are no strangers to
tour van life, having recently played Port Fairy Folk Festival in
Australia off the back of their new album Raconteur.
Taranaki's own the Slacks will be joined by fellow
Taranaki musician Ben Dixon, spreading their hearty, good
vibes and highly singable tunes to audiences both young and young at heart -
with a bit of Kiwiana for good measure.
