Hobnail are a Wellington institution. They have played shows everywhere from Pittsburgh to Paekakariki, New Plymouth to Norfolk Island, Auckland to Amsterdam, Germany to Gore, the Canadian Praries to the Canterbury Plains.
They are 3-time finalists at the New Zealand Music Awards (Best Folk Album and Best Country Song twice). Hobnail celebrated 30 years of active service in 2024, and in 2025 toured across New Zealand with their new album by core members Rob Joass (vocals, guitar, mandola) Jo Moir (vocals, violin) and Hamish Graham (vocals, guitars, percussion).
"Refreshingly down-to-earth and lovely with vocals so tightly knit they could be family." Mike Alexander, NZ Herald.
With “Jo Moir's barnstorming fiddle”, great songs and spectacular harmonies, Hobnail's live show will make your feet move and your heart sing.
Entry by Koha please.
