Press release:

Soft and raspy, poetic and bouncy, ‘Michael Llewellyn’ with his backing band ‘the Darlings’ are a six piece explosion based outta Te Whanganui-a-Tara. After the release of their debut record 'Oh My Darling' and the gentle touring of te ika a Māui they look forward to another year of sweltering hot storytelling and raw grooves. Organic, earthy and honest xx
