THURSDAY 2 JULY

DANICA BRYANT BAND

Danica Bryant returns to her hometown to perform her upcoming debut EP, prior to its official release! For the first time, Bryant will be performing both solo, and with her band, sharing long-time favourites as well as all-new music.

Sharply bitter and sickeningly sweet all at once, Danica Bryant is not your ordinary songwriter. Born to the fruitful music scene in Napier, New Zealand, her songs express a variety of intense emotions, covering meaningful topics such as adolescence, mental health, the music industry, and young love. Danica Bryant is “all hard guitar and pain-filled howl” (The Hook NZ) - this woman bites back.

After opening for New Zealand legends like Jon Toogood and Jason Kerrison, Bryant was cherry picked as a support act for Elton John’s ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour. The opportunity would lead to the harvest of her debut EP, recorded with Wellington’s Tiny Triumph Recordings earlier this year. The EP will be previewed for you at this one-night-only special event!

Tickets $10 at the door.
