About

Hobnail has played everywhere from Canada to Norfolk Island, Germany to Australia, Auckland to Gore, but never Vogelmorn!

A terrible oversight that will be rectified on Saturday 5^th October. They are 3-time finalists at the New Zealand Music Awards; twice for Best Country Song and once for Best Folk Album.

'Refreshingly down-to-earth and lovely with vocals so tightly knit they could be family.' Mike Alexander, NZ Herald.

They will be playing favourites from across their career, some well chosen covers, and songs from Rob Joass’ long awaited solo album “Faultlines”, recently released to great acclaim - “Masterful” “A songwriting masterclass”.

With “Jo Moir's barnstorming fiddle”, great songs and spectacular harmonies, Hobnail's live show will make your feet move and your heart sing.

Support Act: Luca Joass

You won’t find folk-pop artist Luca Joass much happier than with a guitar in his hands and a song in his heart. Whether he’s busking in the streets, playing for a crowd, or at home on the couch, he’ll play until his fingers are sore and his voice croaky (and then a little longer). Luca wears his heart on his sleeve with his songwriting, weaving emotive lyricism in the likes of Dean Lewis and Hozier, with the uplifting hook-anthems of The Lumineers and Jack Johnson.

Luca Joass has found home on stage since before he was born, with his fiddle-playing mother taking stage in Wellington Irish bars into the latest days of her pregnancy. Luca grew up travelling around the NZ folk scene with his parents, but as soon as he was big enough to hold a guitar, he was away strumming. By his teenage years, he was performing on stage with his parents and shortly after took to performing on his own.

Now a young man (or perhaps old boy), Luca lives and performs in Christchurch while growing his craft. As a recent alumni of SOLE Music Academy's Artist Development Programme, Luca has seen mentorship from the likes of Platinum-record artist Sacha Vee, Shapeshifter's Sam Trevethick and Silver Scroll nominee Amelia Murray (Fazerdaze). Taking inspiration from his folk background, and bringing it a modern twist, Luca’s songs are rife with catchy melodies and a whole lot of heart.
