We Mavericks:
Returning to Aotearoa this May, We Mavericks pack mighty punches, but bring songs to heal your scars. Featuring only a foot-stomping Kiwi and a small-town Australian, this troubadour duo make music that is more than the sum of its parts.
A certain trademark tightness and their strangely gritty, evocative performances have seen them on a steep and fast rise to the big stages in both home countries; Spotlight showcase artists for Folk Alliance International 2022, nominated Aotearoa (NZ) Music Awards “Best Folk Artist” 2022, nominated Australian Folk Music Awards Artists of the Year, Best Duo/Group/Ensemble 2021 and recipients of the 2020 Troubadour Foundation Award, We Mavericks continue to enthral audiences far and wide.
Australian Lindsay Martin brings masterful violin, mandolin and vocals to meet kiwi Victoria Vigenser’s mesmerising voice and guitar work- all in driving rhythms and a connectedness you must see to believe. Imagine an organic blend of lyrical pop and acoustic folk, but with echoes of soulful Americana in the harmonies, and Celtic roots running deeply throughout the instrumentation.
Touring their keenly-awaited debut album “Grief’s a Gardener” they bring connected and grounding originals that can melt even the hardest of hearts.

Butter Wouldn't Melt:
Butter Wouldn't Melt will melt your heart with their soulful stories, vibrant voices and faraway fables. They are proud to have launched their debut album \1931\ this summer to a fantastic reception across New Zealand, gaining a nomination for Aotearoa Music Awards Best Folk Artist 2023 .
Their original material is presented with a unique blend of dulcimer, whistles, guitar, double bass and soaring counter-melodies. Their sound is raw and familiar, yet still manages to surprise. Each song is filled with dancing harmonies and country and blues-inspired picking, creating an old-time vibe. Butter Wouldn't Melt sing of New Zealand history, long-lost lovers, fairytales and (very) distant serial-killer relatives.
