Our 100% Home-Grown Artist Of The Month for April is We Mavericks. Throughout the month, Highland FM 107.1 will showcase the original music from this powerfully evocative and thoroughly entertaining local duo.

Lea Steed will introduce our feature Artist Of The Month on Highland FM’s award winning 100% Home-Grown program on Saturday 2 April between 5-7pm. Lea will interview Lindsay and Victoria from We Mavericks and feature their music, including songs from their lyrically charged album, “Grief’s a Gardener”.

We Mavericks: Highland FM’s 100% Home-Grown feature artist

Official Website: www.wemavericks.com.au

The trans-tasman powerhouse duo who pack punches but bring songs to heal your scars. Featuring only a foot-stomping Kiwi girl and an Australian country boy, their music is more than the sum of its parts.

Lindsay Martin’s masterful strings and vocals meet Victoria Vigenser’s magnificent voice, in driving rhythms and a connection you have to hear to believe. With echoes of soulful Americana and Celtic roots in their gritty, evocative material, it’s award-winning musicianship wrapped in a trademark tightness.

Nominated “Best Folk Artist” in the 2022 Aotearoa (NZ) Music Awards, nominated Australian Folk Music Awards “Artists of the Year, Best Duo/Group/Ensemble” 2021 and recipients of the 2020 Troubadour Foundation Award, they’re making a bold mark in both home countries. Now with the duo’s debut “Grief’s a Gardener”, they bring connected and grounding original songs in the sort of show that will leave your tank topped up.

“Victoria and Lindsay’s music carries a message. We Mavericks are the messengers”
