Born in Westport, this New Zealand singer and songwriter grew up on a farm, but music always beckoned. She started playing piano and added the guitar aged 14. At 17 she went to the Nelson School of Music and later attended the University of Auckland studying popular music. She’s won Best Country Song in 2016 and Best Folk Artist in 2020 at the New Zealand Music Awards. Inspired by Cat Stevens, Neil Young and Ray LaMontagne, she debuted with her album “Over My Shoulder” in 2009.

Trying to capture the post tour blues she experiences when having to come back down to earth after the adrenaline of an exciting and busy tour subsides, her new single is a introspective slice of her reality. Wrapping the authentic, yet bittersweet lyrics, in an upbeat folk-infused melody, it’s the bouncy percussion and the jangly blend of acoustic, electric and slide guitars that create a warm and captivating tune. And with her beguiling vocals, this is a rousing folk-pop groove.
