Home Alone present a double bill celebrating new music: Michaela Tempers and Tessa de Lyon

Michaela Tempers and Tessa de Lyon are banding together for a double bill on December 14 at Vogelmorn Upstairs to celebrate recent and forthcoming music releases.

Both projects are out on Te Whanganui-a-Tara label Home Alone which is run by musicians for musicians with a focus on talent coming out of the region (recent releases include a full length album by Albert River and a single from art-rock band Bird Feeder).

Michaela Tempers and her band are celebrating two new singles from her forthcoming EP, Good Woman. The Mystery Waitress vocalist and songwriter will be performing songs from her debut solo record Tessa’s Album - a piano led exploration of life’s small victories which came out on November 15.

Due out in early 2025, Michaela Tempers’ EP explores the complexities of womanhood. The first single ‘Forest Fire’ is a folk-rock number written about the strange relationship between pain and happiness (out November 29th). ‘Good Woman’, the EPs title-track, flirts with the slide guitars of country music and a more contemporary, explosive sound. The songs are centred around Temper’s compelling vibrato — poetic, intimate, and blending her love of folk music with the contemporary.

The show will be Michaela’s debut with the full band who feature on the record - Brooke Singer, Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa and Phoebe Johnson (of French for Rabbits, and various other bands including Dateline, Eb & Sparrow and Revulva), guitar gun Chris Armour and organ player Dayle Jellyman.

Tessa de Lyon (de-lee-on) is an alias of Tessa Dillon, the singer and songwriter behind indie-rock band Mystery Waitress who recently released their second album Bright Black Night through iconic New Zealand label Flying Nun (The Clean, The Chills, Reb Fountain, Fazerdaze). Wanting to have a place for her more introspective work, Dillon has recorded a series of piano-led songs, simply titled Tessa’s Album. She writes about a haunted past and small moments of victory, like putting on a skirt, putting a postcard on the wall, finding the missing duck. Tessa’s Album is her first release under a solo nom-de-plume on Home Alone records and was released on November 15.

Accessibility: venue is up stairs.
