Martinette with George Warren

George Warren is a Dunedin-based PhD student, guitarist, and singer/songwriter. Originally from Christchurch, George has a deep appreciation for blues and folk-rock artists like Mark Knopfler, Bob Dylan, Seth Lakeman, Show of Hands, and Sam Kelly and The Lost Boys. George has experience singing in choirs throughout New Zealand. His fingerpicking guitar style was self-taught. George also plays the bass guitar in “Martinette and The Temps”. George’s debut EP ‘Stargazer’ was recorded completely by himself in a haphazard bedroom setup in 2024.

Martinette Williams is a singer/songwriter who grew up in Kaitaia, a town in the Far North, and moved to Dunedin for university. She has a wide range of musical influences but tends to sound more folk-pop when she plays solo acoustic sets. She released an album ‘Sweeping Statements’ in 2014 and an EP ‘Bittersweet’ in 2024. After meeting George in 2024, the duo have dabbled in singing original songs and covers together, finding their vocal styles blend well and compliment each other in a way that elevates the music.
