For the last year they had been doing things as a five piece band.
He said they were inspired by other New Zealand musicians such as Mel Parsons and Marlon Williams.
Gott said they were looking forward to travelling around the North Island, meeting "some cool people" and performing their music.
He said a lot of their songs were quite personal and about love, and that making an emotional connection with the audience was something he loved about performing.
"It's awesome when we get an audience that's really attentive, and getting to do what we love in front of people."
He said their music was "not really traditional folk" and they had songs which were catchy, some sing-along and some down beat ones.
Gott said they had performed in Rotorua before for the Wai-O-Tapu Folk Festival and he and Maynard had performed as a duo at Brew Bar.
"It's a beautiful place."
