Celebrate Matariki with an unforgettable night of Aotearoa music as one of New Zealand’s most celebrated voices, Hollie Smith, joins forces with renowned drummer and composer Darren Mathiassen for a special evening of soulful storytelling, powerful musicianship, and extraordinary live performance.
Set in the intimate and iconic surrounds of Meow Wellington, this one-night-only celebration honours the spirit of Matariki — a time for connection, reflection, and looking ahead — through the shared language of music.
Joining the line-up are two incredible emerging voices from Aotearoa’s contemporary soul scene. Jade Merematira brings her honeyed vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and the rich emotional currents of her Cook Island Māori heritage, creating moments filled with warmth, reflection, and aroha. Bri Louise blends Gospel, Neo-Soul, Jazz, and R&B into a captivating soundscape, delivering powerful performances through velvet vocals, rich harmonies, and deeply expressive grooves.
Together, these exceptional artists create a night that celebrates the depth, diversity, and talent of Aotearoa’s music community.
