SHANNEN GEORGIA PETERSEN

Shannen Georgia Petersen is best known as one half of “the pride of Palmerston North”, Fruit Juice Parade, whose recent single ‘the more you don’t know the less you know’ made #1 on the national SRN radio chart.

Shannen has been playing shows here and there under her own name since 2016, some as intricate unravellings on the Synthstrom Deluge, others as plaintive acoustic guitar sets. This tour and the release of her first single ‘Home Again 4’ on May 28 however mark the coalescing of this project into something more – appearing on this tour with a backing band of familiar faces.

WIRI DONNA

Dinky riff rock darling, Wiri Donna began 2020 with the release of her 2 track solo EP Sprouts. This was quickly transformed post lockdown launching into a rawkus live show with her band (Bianca Bailey – guitar/vocals, Harrison Scholes – bass, Ethan Roberts – guitar, James Macewan – Drums). They’ve since become a hot topic in Poneke’s thriving independent scene playing shows with the likes of Mild Orange, Soaked Oats & Jack Berry, including supporting Dartz on a national tour.

Wiri Donna’s mix & match songwriting style blurs the lines of folk rooted songwriting and the grittier elements of Bianca Bailey’s previous projects (O-Boy!, SOG).

After the success of Sprouts on independent radio, charting on bFM, RadioActive, Radio One & SRN, Wiri Donna’s 2021 plans include heading to Surgery Studio’s to record a 5 track EP alongside her band and James Goldsmith.
