Kerryn Fields (Full Band) & We Mavericks are award winning folk acts and bonafide masters of their craft, together for the first time in Melbourne at The Brunswick Ballroom on Sunday 16th April (Matinee Show). 

KERRYN FIELDS

Fuelled by reverence, integrity and a deep spiritual connection to the human experience, New Zealand songwriter Kerryn Fields paints timeless musical portraits that do what others rarely can: bring us home to ourselves. 

2022 saw Kerryn Fields rubbing shoulders with Baker Baker Boy in the Best Album and Best Artist categories at the Music Victoria Awards and she took out the Best Folk Act award for her album ‘Water’. 

Radiating warmth, humor and a depth of character that’s palpable as soon as she enters a room, Fields utilises music and storytelling as a vehicle for doing what she does best: making peace with her own human existence. It’s because of this startling ability to meet and embrace herself so willingly that others feel able to do the same.

Fields’ will be joined by her band of Angels who deliver spacious, flawless harmonies and incredible musicianship, it’s not hard to see why they have floored audiences at festivals and stages across Australia and New Zealand. Special guest and fellow Kiwi artist Matt Joe Gow will make an appearance as they debut a brand new song together. 

WE MAVERICKS 

Spotlight showcase artists for Folk Alliance International 2022, nominated Aotearoa (NZ) Music Awards “Best Folk Artist” 2022, nominated Australian Folk Music Awards "Artists of the Year, Best Duo/Group/Ensemble" 2021 and recipients of the 2020 Troubadour Foundation Award, We Mavericks continue to enthrall audiences far and wide. 

Fresh off the National Folk Festival, We Mavericks are bringing their strange trademark tightness and evocative originals to Melbourne for the first time. This troubadour duo pack mighty punches, but bring songs to heal your scars. Featuring only a foot-stomping Kiwi and a small-town Australian, they make music that is more than the sum of its parts. 

Lindsay Martin’s masterful violin, mandolin and vocals meet Victoria Vigenser’s mesmerising voice and guitar work, in driving rhythms and a connectedness you must see to believe. Imagine an organic blend of lyrical pop and acoustic folk, but with echoes of soulful Americana in the harmonies, and Celtic roots running deeply throughout the instrumentation.

Their strangely gritty, evocative performances have seen them on a steep and fast rise to the big stages in both home countries; Spotlight showcase artists for Folk Alliance International 2022, nominated Aotearoa (NZ) Music Awards “Best Folk Artist” 2022, nominated Australian Folk Music Awards "Artists of the Year, Best Duo/Group/Ensemble" 2021 and recipients of the 2020 Troubadour Foundation Award, We Mavericks continue to enthrall audiences far and wide. 

Touring their keenly-awaited debut album “Grief’s a Gardener” they bring connected and grounding originals that can melt even the hardest of hearts.

OCEANIQUE

Winners of the 2022 Folk Alliance Australia ‘Youth Artist of the Year’, Oceanique are a twin sister duo from Western Australia. Their songs are filled with ethereal harmonies and peaceful folk energies, with stories of love, loss and the wonder of time.
