Opshop Sessions Vol 4 lineup- NESS- A singer-songwriter based in Northland, New Zealand, known for her percussive guitar style and smooth, soulful vocals. Blending heartfelt lyrics with groovy, easy-listening melodies, her music evokes the feeling of sunset strolls on the beach and wine-sipping afternoons at a vineyard. Drawing inspiration from artists like Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones, NESS delivers a rich, emotive sound that resonates deeply with her audience. Having performed across New Zealand and Australia, she continues to make her mark as an emerging artist. With a passion for storytelling and a knack for crafting intimate yet vibrant tunes, NESS is an artist to watch as she carves out her unique space in the music scene. Gabrielle Thomas- Gabrielle’s first performances began on Cuba St in Wellington where she grew up. Busking and performing at open mics in her teens kicked off her love of song writing. Driven by the chase of a good hook, Gabrielle’s acoustic sound is rhythmic, melodic and punchy. After spending 20 years as a choreographer and mother, Gabrielle carries a guitar case full of sand and rivers, friendship, moving towns, and in-dissolvable love. Her latest songs are from a collection she calls “Throw it on the Fire”. Velvet Gravel & The Wub Gypsies- A Wubba-Dub growing collective of magical multi-instrumentalists blending psychedelic, dub, metal, blues and funk into an unmistakable live experience. Fronted by Velvet Gravel, with the Wub Gypsies weaving an ever-shifting tapestry of sound, the band thrives on original music, improvisation and musical exploration. Every member is a versatile musician, seamlessly moving between instruments to create rich textures and powerful grooves. No two performances are the same, with extended jams and guest Wubs joining the journey. Come lose yourself in the Wubbb. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/whangarei/op-shop-sessions-vol-4/200030355580155 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, live-music, performances, fine-arts, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 58 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Whangarei - **state**: NO - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: 79 Walton st, Whangarei, New Zealand - **lat**: -35.7250552 - **long**: 174.3236749 - **full address**: 79 Walton st, Whangarei, New Zealand ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Op Shop Sessions Vol 4 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/095f65b30480525b93812ad0a5725469887b043fa1fc2d18ba86842e41c5ecf4-rimg-w1200-h1200-dc2d1a13-gmir?v=1783262695 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Op Shop Sessions Vol 4 being held? - **A:** Op Shop Sessions Vol 4 takes place on Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 12:30 am at 79 Walton st, Whangarei, New Zealand. - **Q**: Who is organizing Op Shop Sessions Vol 4 ? - **A:** Op Shop Sessions Vol 4 is organized by Mojo Dojo. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
