Wellington folk rock band, Hobnail will perform in Rerewhakaaitu tomorrow night.
The folk rock band turns 21 this year and celebrates with a new release, String Things.
It started performing in Wellington bars, then began travelling not only throughout New Zealand, but also performing in Australia, North America and Europe.
The band has been finalists in the New Zealand Music Awards, for the Best Folk Album and twice for the Best Country Song. Festival favourites around the country, the band is known for giving spellbinding shows.
The line-up includes Rob Joass, award-winning songwriter and musician who formed the band with fiddler Jo Moir in the early days. Moir's sweet voice and mean fiddle gives the band its celtic and country influences.
Hamish Graham and Caroline Easther later joined the band.
