Jazmine Mary is a New Zealand Folk Noir Artist. When you step into a Jazmine Mary gig, be prepared to be met by either a clown, a popstar, a pilgrim farmer or a nightgown-clad ghost howling brazenly onstage. It’s a whimsical experience that you won’t want to miss - VICE Independent Debut award. Recently they have opened in New Zealand for Kurt Vile, Billy Bragg, Gang Of Youths, and toured the country in support of Reb Fountain.

With a career spanning more than a decade, Woody Pitney is already an established name in the world of music. Despite his amazing journey so far, his future burns brighter than ever!

Not to be mistaken for the lovechild of Woody Guthrie and Gene Pitney, the Australian Country/ Pop/Folk Singer-Songwriter has performed at festivals and toured extensively across Europe, Asia, USA and Australia, as well as achieved mainstream recognition on both a local and international scale in the past.

Having previously been signed to a major label after his song ‘Your Can Stay’ was synced on a major German TV

commercial, Woody was thrust into a world of big-scale live performances, media appearances and developing international business relations; “I had to learn a lot on the job at a young age, and the experience was invaluable for me... it helped me mature so much musically. I like to think that I more than held my own too!” Having previously been signed to a major label after his song ‘Your Can Stay’ was synced on a major German TV commercial, Woody was thrust into a world of big-scale live performances, media appearances and developing international business relations; “I had to learn a lot on the job at a young age, and the experience was invaluable for me... it helped me mature so much musically. I like to think that I more than held my own too!”

Nowadays, fully independent again, Woody’s focus is to make big waves on the Australian Country Music scene. With a swag of new songs that see him back in control of his own destiny, Woody is recharged and reinvigorated; “I feel like the shackles have been released after the past few Pandemic years, and I can really focus again on doing what I love; making country music!”

The self-confessed “half city, half country boy” divides his time between living in the hustle and bustle of Melbourne, as well as devoting his time to working on his family vineyard and making music in Mandurang - a small town South of Bendigo that is considered the literal geographical centre of Victoria.

Recently working on new releases with Nashville-based producer, Austin Moorhead (Carly Pearce, Maddy & Tae), Woody has been able to adapt the the modern world of remote collaboration, working on his projects between his home studio in country Victoria and Austin’s Tennessee studio.

A vivacious live performer, Woody is known for putting on highly engaging performances (not excluding stage dives and a lot of audience interaction) and has the ability to command the attention of a crowd whether he’s performing solo, or with his full band.

With an eclectic list of key influences, including Keith Urban, The War on Drugs, Elvis Presley and Powderfinger, Woody’s musical appreciation transcends across generations and spreads across the entire spectrum of popular music. Inspiration that filters through into his creative process.

With all the talent & charisma in the world... and the music to match, you can expect to see the name Woody Pitney up in lights for many years to come.
