Estère announces her most extensive tour of Aotearoa yet, to celebrate the release of Archetypes, hitting the airwaves and record stores in late January.
Estère s October 2020 San Fran show was described as an inspired and refreshing performance, fuelled by high octane riffs and punchy back beats that alternated with slower, more soulful explorations of vocal harmony and background keyboards.
Expect more of the same from the tour, with her über-talented band of multi-instrumental musicians: Zoe Moon Mahal (Brockaflower), Ben Lemi (Trinity Roots, French for Rabbits, Dawn Diver) and Cory Champion (Mara TK, sound artist). Their on-stage chemistry sparks the delivery of Estère s magical music to main centres and regions she s never previously performed.
