Wellington south coast singer-songwriter Hanne Jøstensen’s delicate and stirring songs carry the sort of intimacy you find in a good friendship. Her intricate second EP ‘The Lighthouse’, released in autumn 2026, reached #10 on the Aotearoa Album Chart and spent three weeks in the top 20. Hanne's music navigates her unique upbringing on a tiny Norwegian island (where her grandfather was a lighthouse keeper), woven into modern day life on the wild south coast of Wellington, Aotearoa. She is celebrating the release of 'The Lighthouse' with a winter tour of up-close concerts in the lower north & the south.
“The Lighthouse is a thoughtfully and gracefully composed EP, with moments of breathtaking beauty.” Peter K Malthus, MuzicNZ.
“It carries a sense of stillness balanced with emotional depth, creating space for the listener without demanding attention.” Vidhhi Panchal, NZ Musician.
This Geraldine concert will be a solo performance where you'll experience the songs the way they were composed, on keyboard and voice. Hanne will also perform songs from her debut EP 'Watch over me', sprinkled with the occasional cover by artists that have had a significant influence on her songwriting.
Come enjoy a mid-week break and bring your lighthouse stories to share!
Light refreshments with a Norwegian twist will be provided.
Please secure your tickets at your earliest opportunity as it helps a lot with the planning. Thank you very much!
