Join us this Sunday 12th from 10am–11am for a fantastic live performance by the talented Carson Taare!

Based in Palmerston North, Carson is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his rich country and folk sound, inspired by the storytelling traditions of the 1960s and ’70s. 🌾🎸

A 2019 New Zealand VAC “Rising Star”, Carson has taken his music all the way to Nashville, performing at the Country Music Artists Festival alongside Sonny Curtis of Buddy Holly and the Crickets. He’s also a familiar face at the Paihia Country Rock Festival and has featured on national radio, including The Mike Hosking Breakfast and RNZ Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan.

With three albums already released and new music on the way in 2026, this is a performance you won’t want to miss!
