DESCRIPTION:Touring in support of last year’s critically acclaimed album Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark\, Gwenifer Raymond brings her singular\, spellbinding approach to American primitive guitar to New Zealand for the very first time. \nWidely regarded as one of the great folk guitarists of the 21st century\, Raymond has earned international praise for her raw\, hypnotic instrumentals rooted in Mississippi and Appalachian traditions. Her performances are intense\, intimate\, and utterly transportive — music that feels both ancient and fiercely alive. \nThis Auckland show mark a rare opportunity to experience one of the great contemporary guitarists live.

Year of the Dog is dominating the alternative radio charts and receiving stellar support from RNZ\, RollingStone AU/NZ and NZ media. \nO’Leary\, known for her eclectic writing and arrangements\, presents her latest release\, following in the well paved footsteps of her breakthrough debut album ‘River Dark’. Released to great acclaim in 2025\, a Top 10 Aotearoa Album Chart & numerous #1 SRN & alt radio airplay charts\, the album clearly established O’Leary as a rising figure in Aotearoa’s varied musical landscape.\nWhile her debut River Dark took the listener on a tender and reflective path\, ‘Year of the Dog’ does the opposite\, galloping out the gate\, not looking back. \n‘Year of the Dog’ is animal spirit\, it’s racing forwards and upwards\, fast and free. It’s renewal’
