After establishing herself in Australia as an act ‘to watch’, urban soul singer Jay Power
and her award-winning band are bringing their mesmerising live show to New Zealand
this August.
The 2015 ‘South Australian Female Artist of the Year’ finalist will play at Meow in
Wellington on August 10, with support from local collective, Spitfire.
Power’s live shows combine urban beats with hints of funk and splashes of neo soul.
She has supported Australia's mother of soul Renee Geyer numerous times and
recently shared the stage with UK’s hottest vocal group The Sons of Pitches and New
Zealand’s award-winning Hollie Smith.
Along with her power-packed live performances, her reputation as an ‘artist to watch’ is
well and truly justified - and the critics agree.
“Sexy and sleek. If you like soul, wrapped in pop, driven by funk and laced with Hip-
Hop, then this show is for you.” - Beat Magazine
“Powerful, soul-infused pop that delighted the audience. Intelligent songwriting skill.”
- Drunk on Music
Helping Power bring her electrifying performances to life, is her world class band
including Darren Matthiassen (Shapeshifter, Hollie Smith) bass player Marika
Hodgeson (Hollie Smith, Sorceress) and guitarist Mikey Chan (Roots Manuva).
Between them they have played at some of the biggest festivals in the world including
Glastonbury and Womad NZ.
