Fri August 14th: The Lemon Band
Lemon may be new band to Wellington but it’s members span the hemispheres and bring together a dynamic range music for you to enjoy. Their aim is to spread joy to every audience! Playing a selection of well known covers and the odd original, can you tell which is which?

Friday August 28th: Benji & Markus
Benji and Markus form a dynamic duo comprised of Ben Gibbons playing the guitar and singing, and Markus McCraith on the cajon and shaker. They play some of their favourite tunes from throughout the ages, arranged in hopes of making heads bop and feet tap.
