Line up: 

Juliet McLean

Femme pioneer, songwriter, dreamer, Juliet McLean moves in an ever changing, ever expanding musical landscape. Inspired by jazz divas, country truth-tellers, soul-funk groovers, her musical output is uniquely her own. She has worked alongside producer Ben King(Goldenhorse), collaborated with various Taranaki creatives and released 2 Ep’s, a full length album and a number of singles.

Juliet is studying music full time in 2024, a journey she always dreamt of, and is loving every single moment.

Elijah

Elijah is a local musician who loves to share both his own original music, and renditions of songs we all know and love. He plays a range of instruments - including the didgeridoo - and he loves to tell a tale or two if given the chance. Elijah’s here to have a great time by basking in the bliss that comes from none other but sharing music, and his soaring, heart-felt vocals and lyrics will get you in a feel-good mood - the kind of mood that’ll make you wanna let a friend know how much you cherish them
