Press release:

Strange News and Banished Music are excited to announce a handful of very special New Zealand shows by Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Hand Habits.

Once, Meg Duffy (aka Hand Habits) would have been best known as the go-to session guitarist for the likes of War On Drugs, Kevin Morby, and Weyes Blood. Now, on the heels of their stunning album Placeholder, Meg is being mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Angel Olsen and Big Thief as a songwriting force to reckon with, and to be wrecked by.

Kicking off their solo tour in support of Nadia Reid in Christchurch, Meg will head to Wellington for Newtown Festival, and on to Auckland for an intimate performance at Wine Cellar with the fearsomely talented Jazmine Mary.
