Join us for an evening of heartfelt folk music, starting with Ōtaki-born singer-songwriter Ari Leason, whose soulful blend of indie folk and intimate storytelling shines through her debut album Hello Darling. Honest, vulnerable, and deeply authentic, Ari brings songs shaped by activism, travel, and a coming-of-age journey that resonates long after the last note.
Headlining the night, Butter Wouldn't Melt recently released their album Where the roots grow deep, which hit Number 3 on the Aotearoa Music Charts. This 5-piece folk band is made up of Andrea Reid (guitar and vocals) Nick Burfield (guitar and vocals), Marz Connelly (bass and vocals), Mikey Muggeridge (mandolin and vocals), and Cara Brasted (fiddle and vocals). Through powerful harmonies and upbeat instrumentals, they tie together folk, Americana, country, bluegrass styles to bring their own twist to New Zealand storytelling. As timeless as it is deeply personal, you won't want to miss this performance!

"Vogelmorn Upstairs is not a wheelchair accessible building. There is an accessible bathroom in the space. This is an all ages venue but those under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a designated adult after 8pm. The Vogelmorn Precinct is a community
space located in a residential area. With that in mind, the team ask that you when you leave the gig, you do so quietly to avoid disturbing our neighbours. The Upstairs Bar and Smoked and Pickled Restaurant will be open from 3pm, to book a table for pre-show kai email Alice at [email protected]
