Midnight Swim’s five singers and accompanying guitarist have performed together in various musical groups throughout their lives. They formed a group in Nelson in March 2021 to sing songs they love in a folky style, with close harmonies and plenty of emotion. Inspired by artists like Fleetwood Mac, Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton and Billie Eilish, Midnight Swim love teasing the essence out of a beloved piece and weaving it through with new harmony and texture. Since forming, they’ve performed at Acoustic Routes events, the Cable Play festival, and sold out venues across Nelson.
This Live Lounge will feature traditional folk tunes, beloved songs from the 70s and 80s, some modern hits and even an original piece or two. Lydia Stallard, Rachel Pemberton, Emily Wragg, Susy Peddie, Evie Rainey and Dunstan Blay loved performing at the Live Lounge last year and are excited to bring this uplifting and emotional music to the NCMA in September!
