Born in the heart of the American desert, in Santa Fe, New Mexico and raised in the mountains of Southern New Zealand, Multi Award-Winning Songwriter Holly Arrowsmith is both poet and storyteller, drawing on universal themes and the boundless landscapes that raised her.
A strong forerunner in New Zealand’s Folk Revivalist movement, Arrowsmith has won the hearts of music lovers close to home and abroad, touring throughout Australia and North America and sharing stages with Sixto Rodriguez, CW Stoneking, Tami Neilson, Jessica Pratt, Nadia Reid, Marlon Williams and Tiny Ruins.
NPR described her music as "Utterly beautiful, anchored by a voice that pulls you close and cancels the noise outside". In 2020 she was awarded the APRA Country Song of The Year, after receiving the Tui Award for Folk Album of the year in 2017.
This is Songwriting at its finest, inviting the listener into simplicity, contemplation and a hallowed space to reflect upon the seasons of life.
