MusicHaven promotions
Promoting tours by an eclectic range of mostly acoustic musicians from New Zealand and around the world. We also host house concerts. Dip into any of our artists’ gigs, websites or CDs and we’re sure you will be dazzled, amused, amazed or challenged. Music that makes you dance, laugh, cry and think. Real people with real stories and new ideas, or a new slant on revered traditions.
Touring in 2012:
Jez Lowe and Kate Bramley - February
Kristina Olsen - April
