Wellington 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 Aotearoa. She is celebrating the release of 'The Lighthouse' with a winter tour of up-close concerts in the lower north & the south.
“It carries a sense of stillness balanced with emotional depth, creating space for the listener without demanding attention.” Viddhi Panchal, NZ Musician.
“The Lighthouse is a thoughtfully and gracefully composed EP, with moments of breathtaking beauty.” Peter K Malthus, MuzicNZ.
This Lyttelton 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.
There will be a break between the two sets so you can top up your glass, socialise, and buy/order some merch!
Bring your lighthouse stories and come be part of this special evening at this iconic Lyttelton venue.
Welcome!
