*LIMITED AVAILABILITY*

Keira Wallace - Keira is one of the most exciting up and coming artists in Dunedin. Singing about the space around them, the nature, the earth, the stars, their world. Their softly sung lyrics and gentle guitar will softly flow into your body and guide your soul on a scenic tour around the universe. Their warm tone will remind you of summer nights as a young kid dreaming of the stars. We are so excited and proud to be presenting Keira Wallace as apart of our line-up! 

Jesse Hanan - Jesse has been singing since the age of 5 but has been performing since the age of ten. Although growing up singing classical music, he has turned to folk/ rock music over the past couple of years. His love for music and lyricism will transcend through to his renditions of his favorite covers and originals. His style is particular based on his favorite artist of Bob Dylan, Don McLean and John Denver. He currently writes and plays his own music with IVY

Angela Fu- Angela is a classical pianist from Dunedin who has been playing piano for over a decade and finds writing about herself in the third person very uncomfortable. But she’s been told this is necessary. She also plays the flute and violin, and plays violin in the Dunedin Youth Orchestra and is a substitute flute teacher at the Saturday Morning Music School. Having played through a range of emotions spanning from happiness to sadness, joy to grief, and crippling self doubt to complete despair; piano has grown to be an integral part of her life. She participates in a range of musical activities at school and often perform at school events. She has participated in performance competitions such as the Chamber Music Contest, the DPACS instrumental competitions and the Dunedin Concerto Competition with sustainable achievements and consistent top 5 placings over many years – even though she is often crushed by child prodigies. However, the most important thing is the friendships formed with said child prodigies along the way. But she would gladly choose to crush them (metaphorically) if the opportunity arises. She has also played piano at local retirement villages as community service across many years, as well as done gigs that involve performing at functions that include Christmas functions, book launches, and the upcoming Otago Polytechnic Cancer Society Dunedin Spring Ball (which she is very excited about).
