Kirsten Warner’s baptism into music came when her partner Bernie Griffen said if they were going to travel she needed to learn to play. Over the past 10 years or so, she joined Bernie Griffen on musical adventures, recording and touring two albums with him. She sang with Bernie, sang his songs and wrote songs with him. She found a voice and enjoyed playing with Bernie and numerous musicians in different lineups of Bernie Griffen and The Thin Men. She continues to step out on her own to perform their songs. Kirsten is one of two hosts of radio station 95 bFM’s popular American roots music show Border Radio.
Bass player Bob Scott started playing music at high school with his mates doing what was then called country rock. He’s come a full musical circle. Most lately he played bass in Kendall Elise’s band The Belgraves and with Bernie Griffen and The Thin Men. Along the way he’s played in pub cover bands, explored noise-bands as a side man to singer-songwriter types, working as an engineer in heavy industry while raising a family. He picked up bass again playing in an Irish band which lead back to playing country music for the last 20 or so years.
Kingsley Spargo is renowned for leaving audiences mesmerised with music that pulls at the heart. His experience as a jazz musician enables him to transcend genres in ways
few musicians can. The soulful trumpeter has wowed audiences alongside luminaries such as Don McGlashan, Tim Finn, Violent Femmes, SJD, and more recently with the inimitable Witi Ihimaera. But the multi-instrumentalist is also known for working across
theatre and free improvised music in his collaborations with poet Courtney Sina Meredith, Katie Wolfe’s The Haka Party Incident, composer Eve de Castro Robinson, and his performances can even be heard on the Dalai Lama’s album Inner World.
RNZ reviewer William Dart describes his 2019 album Chasing Spirits as ‘a bit like a trip to an all-star cocktail lounge’. Recent compositions include narratives around yearning and the geometry of life, and these beautifully crafted songs draw on his life in Aotearoa New Zealand and abroad.
There’s something instantly captivating about the music of Beth Torrance. She skilfully simmers our most deep and untameable feelings down to their purest form, offering them to the world as songs that are poetic, potent, and true. Her debut EP, 'Tiny Flowers', out now via Particle Recordings, features original illustrations by political cartoonist for the Observer, Chris Riddell. 'Tiny Flowers' is a 'is a tender and airy atmospheric blend of folk with a haunted presence that is hard to shake' (We All Want Someone to Shout For). In celebration of the release of her EP in October 2024, Beth Torrance completed a small tour of Te Ika-a-Māui, including dates in Auckland and Wellington.
