17 May 2025, Saturday: Full concert with Donna Dean and Friends. 

She’s an artist not to be missed. A velvet voice with something to say. A songwriter's songwriter.

New Zealand's Donna Dean has gone about the business of making her music over the years, winning multiple APRA and Tui awards for her songwriting and record production, recording and performing with the likes of Willie Nelson, Kasey Chambers, Jimmy Webb, Paul Kelly, and Don McLean, and writing the title track to Rhonda Vincent’s 2010 Grammy nominated bluegrass album – “Destination Life”

Donna's new album, "Kisses & Other Things" features instrumental work by John Egenes, a go-to multi-instrumentalist who fills the role of producer for Donna's recordings.

Also in the lineup is Dunedin bassist John Dodd, a longtime stalwart of New Zealand music.
