Captivating Noir Folk artist Jazmine Mary is “rising into our collective consciousness as a star, as an artist to be reckoned with, as a creative force”.
With support from Young Moon.
They crack open the beauty and ugliness of the world with a voice that critics are calling “truly a wonder”. Recently they have opened for Kurt Vile, Billy Bragg, Gang Of Youths and toured the country in support of Reb Fountain.
They make music not to earn a living, but to survive, and it’s through their songwriting that Jazmine Mary feels tethered to something tangible, a constant. It’s the action of translating their experiences into poetic folk compositions that helps in “understanding parts of the beauty and ugliness of the world”, and which might help listeners do so too.
An award-winning gig for melancholy and exultation.
2022 Auckland Live Best Independent Debut Award Winner

On Triggered By Sunsets, the exquisite third LP from Bay Area expat Young Moon, small affirmations hit like weather events. Songs burn like generational amulets. Mercy opens the window to let a little air in.
At the end of 2019 Young Moon’s Trevor Montgomery packed up his life in San Francisco and shifted halfway around the globe to Whakatū Nelson, New Zealand. He arrived in his new home – a seaside town, known for its galleries and good weather – just as the global pandemic took hold. Without a close community to moor himself to, Montgomery dove into work; he began renting an empty masonic temple, built a recording studio inside, and tore into a fresh batch of songs.
