Small Hall Sessions with Reb Fountain & Band
August 10, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
A truly unique opportunity to see one of New Zealand’s most dynamic performers, with her full band, in the tiny, intimate and quirky rural halls of Hawke’s Bay.
Reb doesn’t do little venues anymore. She sells out the Auckland Town Hall, the Powerstation, and significant venues in major cities throughout NZ, in Australia, and around the world.
But she has a special connection to Hawke’s Bay and a real fondness for her audience here. When she last did her sold out Small Hall Sessions tour, just over two years ago, she came with her long term collaborator Dave Kahn. This time round she brings her full band. These shows offer an incredible opportunity to see a world class band, at the very top of their game, right up close and very very personal.
Born in San Francisco and moving with her family to Lyttleton as a teenager at a time that the tiny port town was just developing as the hub of a new alt-country/folk movement. She played and collaborated with them all, Delaney Davidson, Marlon Williams, Adam McGrath & The Eastern and Aldous Harding.
Winner of the 2021 Taite Music Prize and the Aotearoa Music Award for Best Country Music Album and APRA Best Song in 2018, songwriter Reb Fountain is a consummate recording artist and performer: stunning audiences with her music and artistry alike. A perfect extension of her 2020 self-titled album, IRIS elevates Reb Fountain’s music to new heights. Here, Reb effortlessly combines pop elements with her trademark noir folk-punk sound, weaving authentic and anthemic tunes that create an instant and indelible impression.
Reb just a few weeks away from returning to Roundhead Studios to record a new album. In these Small Hall Sessions we will get to hear many of the new songs, some being played live for the very first time, as well as songs from her previous albums.
