WilkieMac and Penni Feather are currently touring as a double bill and play The Embassy of Friendship on Saturday November 29.
Earlier this year the two acts collaborated for the Hamilton Arts Festival. They so enjoyed weaving instruments and harmonies on each others’ songs, they’ve teamed up again for gigs that are taking them around the North Island.
WilkieMac are the Raglan-based duo of Lynne Wilkins and Michael McKinnon. Both are guitarists and singers, with Lynne’s multi-instrumental versatility adding colour to their repertoire – from Celtic folk songs through to Lynne’s originals and a few cleverly arranged pop songs.
Penni Feather’s solo sets are grounded in folk and blues. With her wide-ranging vocals she is known for deeply inhabiting the songs she sings. Her own songs take on a folk/alternative country flavour, with evocative lyrics.
