JAZMINE MARY - I WANT TO ROCK AND ROLL

Jazmine Mary is a noir folk artist, the 2022 winner of the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut award for their album The Licking of a Tangerine. Their critically acclaimed sophomore album Dog was named one of Aotearoa's Top 25 albums by Rolling Stone magazine.

Mary has played in support of Kurt Vile, Billy Bragg, Gang of Youths, and toured the country in support of Reb Fountain — most notably, their spellbinding Hollywood Theatre show last winter with support from Julia Deans.

"When you step into a Jazmine Mary gig, be prepared to be met by either a clown, a popstar, a pilgrim farmer, or a nightgown-clad ghost howling brazenly onstage. It’s a whimsical experience that you won’t want to miss." — VICE

They make music not to earn a living, but to survive, and it’s through their songwriting that Jazmine Mary feels tethered to something tangible, a constant. It’s the action of translating their experiences into poetic folk compositions that helps in "understanding parts of the beauty and ugliness of the world", and which might help listeners do so themselves.
