Merlia Celebrates Magic Woman Single Release with Auckland show at Big Fan
Sunday 23 August 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM | With support from Carl O Yāng & Chance of Sun
Auckland artist Merlia brings her single release show to Big Fan, Auckland on Sunday 23rd
August 4:30 PM, to celebrate the launch of her second single 'Magic Woman'.
Known for her immersive and richly textured sound, Merlia will perform live alongside some of
Whangārei’s finest musicians: Austyn Mills, Scott Wynne and Matthew Shepherd. The set
promises to feel like “falling into a deep cut dream.”
'Magic Woman' is a vibrant counterpoint to her debut single 'Sicily', released in March. Where
Sicily was intimate with trance-like melodies and ocean-washed production, 'Magic Woman'
leans into upbeat gypsy jazz and catchy lyrics you can’t help but dance along to.
Joining Merlia for the night are two special guests:
Carl o Yāng is an alternative indie artist hailing from Marlborough. Carl’s music is a sanctuary
of reflection and invokes a sense of presence and stillness in the listener.
Carl’s mission is to help encourage positive change and spiritual growth through his songs
His live performances are an enchanting experience due to his relaxed humour on stage,
balanced with emotional and heart-touching songs.
Chance of Sun is an indie-folk trio of friends and multidisciplinary artists Zoe Crane, Molly
Curnow, and Ruby Pledge. Brought together by crossed paths and curiosity, their signature blend
of tender three-part harmonies creates music that is intimate, gentle, rhythmic, and layered with
secrets and humour.
