Meet the Lineup

Faith Wilde

Auckland-based country-pop artist Faith Wilde uses her country storytelling to give listeners a fresh perspective on life in your twenties. Growing up with a musical family and having spent time in Nashville, Faith made international headlines after playing beside Noah Kahan at Iowa’s Hinterland Music Festival. Away from music, she’s studying for her BSc majoring in Chemistry and Computer Science and is a mum to her cat, Aurora!

Keith Pereira

Keith Pereira is bringing a fresh spin to country music with his rich vocals, high-energy performances and modern take on the classic '90s country sound. After catching the country music bug as a kid listening to a radio show hosted by his uncle, Keith has gone on to perform across New Zealand and around the world, including Canada, Australia and India. With chart success, sold-out shows and plenty of momentum behind him, he's definitely one to watch. Offstage, you'll find Keith cheering on Arsenal or wondering why he spent years studying biomedical engineering instead of writing country songs sooner.

Greta van den Brink

Greta van den Brink is bringing a bold edge to Americana and country-rock, blending cinematic storytelling with high-energy performances. If Miley Cyrus, Stevie Nicks or Shania Twain are on your playlist, Greta is the gal for you. With coverage across major New Zealand radio stations, support from Rolling Stone Australia and a track featured on Netflix’s Territory, she’s a star to keep your eye on. With a background as a stunt double, it's safe to say Greta knows how to make an entrance!

Zac Griffith

Tapawera-born and raised, Zac Griffith is a genuine country boy with honest songwriting and classic country influences to boot. Teaching himself to play guitar as a child, Zac has gone on to win the New Zealand Gold Guitar Awards at 18, support Kaylee Bell on tour, selling out his hometown show on his first headline tour, and scoring a Top 10 Country radio hit with ‘Sunday Sober’. Fresh off releasing his debut EP, Where I Belong, through Universal Music NZ, Zac splits his time between making music, working in a bakery and fishing!
