Tour starts this week - it’s solo, but I have company! Waiting patiently for little pup to join our pack in mid August ❤️ Ōtepoti & Ōtautahi, you’re up first this week on Thurs and Fri, joined by @keirawallacemusic at @erricksvenue & @mouseyindahousey at @thepiano.nz . The 4 previously announced Auckland shows have sold out, so we’ve added one last early show at Lopdell House cinema, Titirangi. All 4 @loemisfestival Wellington shows have sold out. Might still be some tickets for Morgan’s? Can’t wait to sing some songs for you. Thanks to @banishedfromtheuniverse for helping pull this together with my somewhat absent brain. Hollie x

We are so honoured to be amongst the finalists for Album of the Year & Best Group at the @aotearoamusicawards . ‘Ceremony’ was a really beautiful time making music together, & I want to pay tribute to the band for putting their all into it - Cass, Basil, Alex Freer and Tom Healy. Tom is also up for Best Producer for ‘Ceremony’ & Best Engineer for @marlonwilliamssings ‘My Boy’. Awards are weird but we are really proud of this, alongside the Taite Prize nom too, so thank you, it means a lot. Massive mihi also to everyone who helped us record, release and tour ‘Ceremony’ ~ @milkrecords @marathonartists @badabingrecords @kobaltmusic @nzonairmusic @independentmusicnz @holidayrecords @emilywsaudio alex corbett the lab recording studio @roundheadstudios @icyforksart - album art @alexandergandar & video teams @francescarter - photography @thelabelnz @banishedfromtheuniverse @nzmusiccommission @playbookartists

This winter presents a rare opportunity to see Hollie Fullbrook performing as Tiny Ruins solo, playing a collection of songs from her illustrious back catalogue including the acclaimed 2023 release Ceremony, nominated as a finalist for both the 2024 Taite Prize and Silver Scroll award. Tiny Ruins (solo ) - Winter Tour June 6 - Erricks, Dunedin June 7 - The Piano, Christchurch June 14 - Lōemis Festival @ The Begonia House, Wellington June 15 - Morgan’s Clubhouse, Pāuatahanui June 27 - Lopdell House, Titirangi June 29 & 30 - Freida Margolis, Auckland A rare blend of eloquent lyrical craft and explorative musicianship, the songs of Tiny Ruins have been treasured by crowds and critics for over a decade. Via an eclectic raft of influences, the musical world of Hollie Fullbrook and band spans delicate folk, lustrous dream pop and ebullient psychedelia. “Fullbrook’s hushed yet forceful songs, packed with obsessives and resilient loners, demand your full attention.” — Q Magazine TIckets from tinyruins.com On sale 10am, Wednesday 17th April Beautiful artwork as ever by @anns_taylor_design
