Bob McNeill & Emily Roughton are two of New Zealand’s best-known folk musicians. They bring their deep musical connection to festivals across New Zealand, playing their favourite songs and tunes collected over years of playing together at festivals, stages and late into the night at kitchen tables. Based in Wellington, Bob is one of NZ’s best-known folk songwriters and a favourite with Greytown audiences. His songs have been covered by artists in NZ, Australia, the UK and the USA. New Zealand Musician magazine compared his songwriting to Bruce Springsteen and Mark Knopfler; the Dominion Post likened him to Jackson Brown, James Taylor, Luka Bloom and Dougie Ma¬cLean. A guitarist, he is known for his distinctive open-tuned acoustic fingerstyle and electric guitar playing. He has toured widely in NZ, Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK and the USA. His latest album, released in June 2024, is Lost Stars, an extended release on CD and download featuring new recordings and rarities, with Emily on violin and piano.
From Whangarei, Emily is a virtuoso violinist inspired by the Scottish tradition and the modern trad movement. Classically trained, she is infinitely adaptable with her gorgeous stylings and fiery tune playing, making her the perfect foil for Bob’s lyrical songs.
Don’t miss a chance to see these two consummate musicians share their foot-stomping collection of banging tunes, favourite songs and stolen moments from the last 20 years.
