WilkieMac and Penni Feather will perform separately and together at Nikau Cave Cafe on Saturday October 11 in an evening that spans a range of acoustic music.
Earlier this year the two acts collaborated for the Hamilton Arts Festival. They so enjoyed weaving instruments and harmonies on each others' songs, they've teamed up again for gigs that are taking them around the North Island.
WilkieMac are the Raglan duo of Lynne Wilkins and Michael McKinnon. They have a deserved reputation in NZ's folk scene, with their original songs and Celtic roots frequently to the fore. Michael provides the solid backdrop on guitar, while Lynne brings a varied soundscape with harmonica, flutes, whistles, guilele (a six-string ukulele) and guitar. Topped with their blended vocals, a WilkieMac performance is bound to leave you wanting more.
Penni Feather had a one-woman cabaret show in the 2024 Hamilton Arts Festival and last year performed solo at the inaugural Raglan Blues Festival (both in concert and opening for The Midge Marsden Band). Her solo sets are grounded in folk and blues, with a touch of alternative country. With her wide-ranging vocals and a sometimes irreverent stage presence, she is known for deeply inhabiting the songs she sings - whether her originals or interpretations of songs by others.
The double bill of WilkieMac and Penni Feather met with full houses for their recent Northland and North Auckland gigs. They're looking forward to bringing the show to Nikau Cave Cafe on October 11.
