Wellington-based Hobnail is a group of barnstorming musicians who are performing in Tauranga this month.
Now in their 22nd year of performing to rapt audiences all over the country, their album Fortune Horses was a finalist for Best Folk Album at the New Zealand Music Awards. Songs Dead in the
Water and Baggage were both nominated for Best Country Song.
The group are festival favourites who blend bluegrass, Celtic, pop, and rock 'n' roll into a barnstorming, authentic, folk experience.
With original songs and harmonies thicker than honey, this band is a must see in this month's social calendar.
In 2015 Hobnail released their long awaited sixth album, String Things, which has proved to be the most popular of their career. It is a stellar showcase of new songs, old favourites and crowd favourite cover songs.
