I like to sing songs that strike a chord with me.

Please note that these are covers; the original artist is always mentioned in the description.

Callum Gentleman plays blues/folk noir with the odd dash of country. It’s Nick Cave meets The Smiths in a dark alley where they conspire to kidnap Bob Dylan and move to New Zealand. It’s Tom Waits sharing a bottle of moonshine with Leonard Cohen at 4am while binge watching Twin Peaks (original season).
He's a raconteur, trouper, chancer, and murder ballad lover. But above all, Callum Gentleman is a storyteller. These stories come out as songs, poems, campfire yarns, whiskey-soaked bar banter. Stories about good people doing bad things, and bad people who try hard to be good...but often fail. Stories of fallen angels staring to heaven, contrite demons yearning for redemption, down-and-out junkies scrounging for a dollar, the devil gets it on with the wrong hooker. Stories told in a child's whisper, a father's tears, and a drunk man's roar. 
Callum started playing in Paris and London before returning home to New Zealand, where he’s done many national tours. In 2017 he played two Australian tours. 2018 sees him adding American to the list (currently Denver, CO).
He often performs with allies Joel Vinsen (guitar) and Sam Loveridge (violin) beside him, but is just as happy flying solo. He’s played gigs with artists such as Tami Neilson, Marlon Williams, Tiny Ruins, Nadia Reid, Reb Fountain, RL Cole, Delaney Davidson, Will Wood, Hopetoun Brown, Bond Street Bridge, Great North and The Eastern. 
Callum is also one half of poetry/experimental guitar duo Panhandlers.

Esther Stephens is an Auckland-born singer and actor now based in Melbourne. 

The ground swell around kiwi singer and actress Esther Stephens has been building for a while. A mainstay of the Auckland music scene, Esther has been a master collaborator, lending her vocal prowess to acts including Sola Rosa, Isaac Aesili (Funkomunity) and Tama Waipara. On New Zealand television she is best known as fashion journalist Olivia from the comedy/drama ‘Go Girls’. Esther’s solo music is powerful blend of old soul and contemporary pop, citing influences including classic luminaries like Sam Cooke, Janis Joplin and Etta James, and modern acts such as Bjork and Lauryn Hill. 

Her first underground release ‘Asahi’ was praised by music journalist Martyn Pepperell as a ‘sultry, richly toned trip-hop/modern soul voice through an engaging melodic and rhythmic frame’ (Martyn Pepperell, Vanguard Red Magazine) and in 2012 Esther was given special mention after the release of the chart topping Home Brew album on which she features. ‘Stephens is a true standout, and adds her smoky-toned R&B talents to four different tracks including the classily smouldering Plastic Magic.’ (Lydia Jenkin, NZ Herald). This collaboration also secured her position as one of the promising new talents in the independent collective, Young Gifted and Broke. 

Esther has been profiled online by Red Bull Studio Auckland, and she was featured in music magazine Rip It Up’s ‘Who’s Next?’ section. Esther’s New York produced, NZ On Air funded debut single and accompanying video are due for release 2013. 

Esther now resides in Melbourne and is introducing Australian audiences to her love for complex harmonies and alternative pop song-writing structure.
