Good Habits UK alt-folk duo + Albi

Good Habits are a UK alt-folk duo, telling stories and turning heads across the globe.
Composed of singer-cellist Bonnie Schwarz and accordionist Pete Shaw, they create folk-infused songs that test the limits of their traditional instruments; maintaining folk roots of musical storytelling amongst their energetic, virtuosic playing.
"The duo are musical tricksters..There's a rare emotional warmth and fullness to Good Habits' sound..’’ Songlines
“Wonderfully Quirky and Exceptionally Talented” - Unheard NZ

Covid-19 saw them 'stranded' in New Zealand whilst on tour. In the year since, Good Habits have performed alongside a line up of New Zealand’s top acts including Nadia Reid, Ria Hall and Lost Tribe Aotearoa and were winners of Purbeck Folk Rising Award. The release of their debut album, ‘Going For Broke’, gained them shining reviews in Songlines, appearances in National Paper NZ Herald, and a tight tour schedule including performances at New Zealand’s largest festivals: Splore, TSB Festival of Lights, Resolution and many more.

After an exhilarating run of their Gig-theatre show ‘I Don’t Know How To Dance’ at the NZ fringe, Good Habits head up the North Island, for a warm autumn return to some of the venues from their original 2020 Sumer tour pre-covid.

Chris Dent a.k.a Albi is a soulful and thoughtful songwriter based in Auckland, New Zealand. You'll typically find him working on new music in his studio in Morningside or on the road with Albi & The Wolves, and in between those tours, you might even find him entertaining with covers in the corner of a pub in Tāmaki Makaurau.
Albi & The Wolves, his flagship band, took away the Best Folk Artist award at the 2018 Aotreoa Music Awards and has toured in Canada, Australia, Rarotonga, and of course New Zealand. This band swings from foot stomping folk anthems to heartfelt ballads that are filled out beautifully with violin, double bass, and harmony. Chris, Pascal and Micheal are working on their third studio album currently.
