Estella Romagnoli - Estella Romagnoli is a Wellington based indie folk artist and singer-songwriter known for her evocative lyrics and gentle, acoustic soundscapes. Originally from Nelson, Estella’s journey in music began at a young age, influenced by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Laura Marling, she takes on a similar cadence of introspective story telling blended with delicate melodies.

The Brooklyns - An indie rock, folk, country band that sprang from the Wellington hills. We are a bunch of friends who started out playing music together in Brooklyn, Wellington, directly across from the wind turbine. We now rehearse and perform in Kāpiti and the Wairarapa, too, although Brooklyn remains our home base. We each write songs and sing them, and they vary wildly from sad-sack country ballads to anthemic rock numbers to songs that are punk and political, but we approach each one with the same care and shape it to become a Brooklyns’ song.

Terry Shore - Terry Shore is a songwriter from Wellington who has released 5 full albums and 2 EP’s and has been around the local music scene for nearly 30 years.Terry Shore is one of the stalwarts of pop around the Wellington music scene and is the host of Wellington Access Radio’s “Terry Songwriters Show” showcasing unknown artists for their original music. “The Daleks Are Coming In”.

Elyssa Vulpes - Experience the magic of indie folk reimagined. Elyssa Vulpes blends the old-world charm of folk with fresh, original compositions inspired by Italian and Celtic roots. Originally from Italy, she has returned to New Zealand after a decade in Scotland, bringing with her a rich tapestry of musical experiences. Her discography includes 12 albums, with the award-winning "Pearl of Blood" earning Radioindy’s Grindie Award.
