Auckland rockers Mojo Crow are back on the gig scene with new material and some of the best songs from their back catalogue. Joined by Faith Wilde and Blake Stainton, come and feast on three amazing artists and support the original music scene. Mojo Crow is a dynamic alt-rock band formed back in 2013 as a three-piece garage band. They have since evolved into a five-piece multi-genre band, and their live shows radiate raw energy and good time vibes with their own eclectic mix of alt-country, blues, rock, and reggae. The last EP they released back in 2024 is called ‘Imposter’ and features more of their driving alternative rock sound compared to their previous EP’s. Check out their music on Spotify and other music streaming platforms.

Faith Wilde is an emerging New Zealand singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Auckland, known for her heartfelt country, folk, and indie-pop style. She has written countless original songs blending country storytelling with indie and pop sensibilities. She has achieved recognition as a semi-finalist in Tennessee Songwriters Week at the historic Bluebird Cafe.

Blake Stainton is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter blending pop and country into a raw, heartfelt sound. Through honest lyrics and authentic storytelling, he creates songs that feel personal yet universally relatable. Blake has performed at festivals and venues across New Zealand and internationally, always striving to grow as an artist and craft music that connects with people and tells stories that linger long after the last note fades.
