Every 3rd Sunday of the month we showcase four local songwriters and celebrate the rich culture and depth of talent we have here in Aotearoa.
This month we present.. The Vorn String Trio, Emily de Vegt, CP3o, and Banjo Ben and the Breeze
The Vorn String Trio..
Wellington songwriting legend Vorn needs no introduction! But since I have to write something in this box and you seem compelled to read it, let’s both reflect on the wonder of a 25-year career spent labouring in prolific obscurity, across 9 albums of songs which veer from sublime to ridiculous, often within a single verse. Fresh off releasing The Late Album (the only NZ indie album ever to beat terminal cancer), Vorn and the ludicrously talented Charley Davenport (cello) and Thomas Liggett (violin) will present a selection of the best songs ever written in this country. You should come listen!
Emily de Vegt..
Taranaki’s Emily de Vegt brings a cosy, whimsical charm to the girl-with-a-guitar flavour of singer-songwriter. Her songs draw from her background in classical piano and pay tribute to melancholic modern artists like Radiohead and Lana Del Rey.
CP3o..
Barry Carter's CP3o give you original songs with a Jazz-Acana feel.
Banjo Ben and the Breeze
Banjo Ben and The Breeze are a new 4-piece indie-folk comedy band based in Wellington,
NZ. They are known for their iconic beanies, their regular evening busking sessions on
Cuba Street, and their theatrically charged gigs which are packed full of catchy lyrics, wild
stories and plenty of laughs.
