Sika concerts are a hypnotic, rhythmic story, full of beauty and shamanic ritual. Didgeridoo, drum and percussion made from shells, bones... even leaves, contrasted with soaring native flutes and the haunting voices of Maori Taonga Puoro. Natural instruments looped to create evocative, ancient soundscapes. The whole stage becomes his artistic canvas... he even jumps down to play among the audience.

Sitar meets guitar in reggae, world music & live looping. After 17 years of sitar study and festival performances around the world, including performing to 50,000 people in Bangladesh, Prosad’s one-man show features guitar, sitar, vocals, bansuri, m’bira, percussion and melodica. From lush soundscapes, to contagious reggae grooves and inspiring lyrics, Prosad loops everything live and takes you on a journey of the soul.

A very upbeat, joyful and lively performance will likely have folks up dancing! There are at least nine of us playing our hand crafted wooden marimbas with colourful resonators. The baritone and bass are rather conspicuous in their size. The sound is big and rather unique as the music is from the Shona people of Zimbabwe. All performers play all the marimbas, so there is a bit of movement between each song. Singing is also involved in some of the pieces. Cover required in extreme heat/wet.

Acoustic Folk/Indie/country. Etherial guitar moods and honest, sometimes heartbreaking vocal harmonies are reminiscent of an early Angus and Julia Stone with a touch of Everly Brothers' catchiness around the edges.

Live acoustic original solo music performance with conscious themes and a soul/folk/roots vibe. Family friendly.

The soul stirring messages in Matiu's music are positive, inspiring and unifying. Matiu's soulful roots music has a strong Maori flavor, using haka, chants and traditional Maori instruments, backed by grabbing grooves, deep, beautifully crafted bass lines, funky rhythms and magical melodies that stay with you well after the show ends, all held up by a pillar of Pacific passion.

People can expect a dynamic live show with inspiration from their homeland infused with uplifting grooves, live dubs, featured rocking guitar riffs including sassy reggae funk and an infectious sonic bassline. Top this off with soulful vocals and Hip-hop inspired MC notes and you have the sound of Knights of the Dub Table

In a world where nearly everything is ordered and rehearsed, Wild Marmalade deliver a wholehearted journey into the present moment with a kind of reckless abandon that defies categorization. The band enter the show arena empty handed, no set list. no plan whatsoever, just free minds in a sea of energy, ready to go. Uplifting, inspired, human powered didgeridoo dance music unparalleled in the world today.

Redwood performs spoken word poetry backed by the funky acoustic grooves of a full live band. For this set I will be accompanied by Mad Hallelujah (guitars, bass, drums). The vibe is right for an afternoon/early evening set; some folks like to get up and dance when we play, while others like to lay back and marinate in the words. This set has met a loving reception at other recent festivals (Luminate, NZ Spirit Fest & more), always co-creating a joyous connected spirit with the crowd.
