    Experience the foot-stomping energy of multi-instrumentalist Graeme James as he brings his one-man-band show to the iconic Great Hall. 

    Armed with electric violin, guitar, banjo, bass, piano, baritone ukulele, mandolin, harmonica, and percussion, Graeme builds epic, full-band soundscapes live on stage—layer by layer—creating a loop-driven folk sound bursting with rhythm, melody, and joy.

    From his beginnings busking on the streets of Wellington to tours across Europe and North America, Graeme has learned how to turn any room into a shared celebration. Now back in Aotearoa, his music continues to capture the beauty of life’s journeys and the landscapes that inspire them.

    With over 50 million streams on Spotify and praise from Rolling Stone and Indie Shuffle, Graeme’s heartfelt songs and electrifying performances have won audiences around the world.

    Don't miss out on this night of foot-stomping, heart-thumping, sing-it-out folk music.

    See you on the dance floor!
