Hobnail Three Part Tour Continues!

Hobnail released their 8th album Three Part in 2025, and in 2026 continue to tour NZ in support.
With “Jo Moir's barnstorming fiddle”, great songs and spectacular harmonies, Hobnail's live show will make your feet move and your heart sing.
Hobnail formed in 1994 with little ambition beyond playing a few shows and drinking a few beers. 32 years later and they have travelled from Porirua to Pittsburgh, New Plymouth to Norfolk Island, Auckland to Amsterdam, Germany to Gore, the Canadian Prairies to the Canterbury Plains. They have released 8 studio albums and a “Best Of” collection, played over 1,000 shows and made at least 100 trips across Cook Strait. There have been hundreds of flights, and somewhere north of 250,000 km’s in the tour van. They are 3 time finalists at the NZ Music Awards. In 2025 Hobnail released their 8th album “Three Part” and toured throughout New Zealand. They don’t plan to slow down any time soon.

Refreshingly down-to-earth and lovely with vocals so tightly knit they could be family

“Their music has been described as a fusion of bluegrass, Celtic, folk and rock'n'roll. That description lists some of their influences, but doesn't do them justice. Their influences include jazz and poetry, and the songwriting reflects their personal experiences. They moved me across a broad spectrum. They invoke joy and sadness, spirit and laughter. They play music worth playing, sing lyrics worth hearing. And they play and sing with beauty and clarity. I know that concert will stay in my memory alongside the very best I have seen. A world-class act in our small corner of the world. Thank you, Hobnail!”
