Taking her brand new album to the stage for the first time in Victoria, Aotearoa folk artist Greta O'Leary performs 'River Dark' this July 17th, intimate and stripped back at the Wesley Anne with fellow folk musician Kelsey Jean. Tender, steadfast, and unraveling, ‘River Dark’ shot to #9 on the Aotearoa Official Albums Chart. It features the breakout singles 'Baby I'm a Singer' and 'Baptised at the Desktop Computer' and has seen stellar support from RNZ National, PBS and Rolling Stone.

Tāmaki Makaurau singer-songwriter and musician GRETA O'LEARY writes with clarity of vision, making introspective observations that seamlessly interlock with her spare, spacious and enthralling songcraft. Her obscure, dreamlike debut record was created alongside producer Jol Mulholland at LAB Studios, with Greta's hypnotic songwriting and unmistakable vocals accentuated through the skillful musicianship of instrumentalists Cass Basil (Tiny Ruins, The Veils), Alastair Deverick (Boycrush), Callum Passells (Hans Pucket, Aldous Harding) and Anita Clark (Motte, Nadia Reid).
“My first record, a collection of personal, ridiculous and truth telling songs. It took a long time to get here. I was a child shy and unclear, completely confused, absolutely not onboard with future, with goals or activity. I was in the field below the house, I was at the pond with the dog, I played make believe longer than most. I was taught to be quiet.”
