Wellington Jazz Festival 2025 | BUMPY

Witness the extraordinary talent of award-winning composer, vocalist and Noongar woman Bumpy, live at San Fran.

With a voice that balances tenderness and power and a hypnotic stage presence, Naarm/Melbourne-based Bumpy has cemented her status as one of Australia’s most compelling new artists, seamlessly blending contemporary soul, folk, funk and jazz.

Bumpy’s debut EP Morning Sun earned high acclaim, and she has garnered several accolades including New Talent of the Year at the 2023 National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs). She’s wowed audiences at the London Jazz Festival, headlined the Sydney Opera House, and shared stages with jazz legends such as Herbie Hancock and Marcus Miller.

Marking her first performance in Aotearoa and fresh off the October release of her acclaimed debut album Kanana, which “...brims with percussion and smooth double bass, celebrating the small moments that bring people together” (The Rolling Stone, Australia), don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to experience Bumpy this Wellington Jazz Festival.
