Local artists share their songs that speak to the complexities of life, the intersection of faith and art and songs written for the church to sing together

Avya

Avya is a 26-year-old New Zealand artist hailing from the sleepy seaside town of Mangawhai. Inspired by the likes of Brooke Fraser, Noah Kahan and Kacey Musgraves, her sound sits at the intersection of folk pop and country - intimate, melodic, and always sincere.

Andy Campbell

Andy began writing songs way back, oftentimes copying his heroes from the safety of his bedroom without even realising it. Now, after a few decades of writing and releasing songs for the local church with St Paul's Symonds Street, Worship Central NZ and Saint Augustine's Music, Andy is looking forward to sharing some of those songs, along with some new ones ready enough to leave the bedroom.

Raylee Bradfield

For more than two decades, Raylee has been writing and recording music. Largely inspired by nature and its reflection upon the human condition Raylee's songs investigate the heart and its many expressions. You will hear acoustic tales, modern day prayers and songs about birds, wildfires and volcanic eruptions.
