Jazmine Mary is a New Zealand Folk Noir Artist When you step into a Jazmine Mary gig, be prepared to be met by either a clown, a popstar, a pilgrim farmer or a nightgown-clad ghost howling brazenly onstage.
It’s a whimsical experience that you won’t want to miss - VICE Independent Debut award.
Recently they have opened in New Zealand for Kurt Vile, Billy Bragg, Gang Of Youths, and toured the country in support of Reb Fountain. They make music not to earn a living, but to survive, and it’s through their songwriting that Jazmine Mary feels tethered to something tangible, a constant. It’s the action of translating their experiences into poetic folk compositions that helps in “understanding parts of the beauty and ugliness of the world”.

New Zealand’s Finn Johansson will midwife you through your biggest feelings with his low-key devastating lyrics, instantly iconic tunes and magnetic personality.
Fresh from a 20-date European tour and hard at work on his next record, he’s slowly figuring it all out. Don’t miss your chance to see him live at an exciting and crucial time in his career. ‘Finn Johansson writes self-described “feelings music” akin to the colour of the back of your eyelids when you’re kissing or breathing in an exhale or the pinching feeling of hope just before you have your heart broken. His songs are full of curiosity; ambitious arrangements with frayed edges, lo-fi bedroom recordings with the incisive precision of an astute musical
ear.
Overarchingly they are natural, full of the non-sequiturs associated with raw love and pain. Johansson has a skill for parsing back experiences to their most potent elements, and gently handing them over with his lilting falsetto.’
- Kiki Van Newtown, Under The Radar
‘His unrelenting creativity... reminds me at times of Frank Zappa.’
- The 13th Floor
