One of Aotearoa’s most influential and lauded contemporary songwriters, Delaney Davidson is making his way back to Archies Creek this May! Delaney Davidson’s music emerges from a world where tradition meets the uncharted. Rooted in the sounds of Hank Williams and the wild energy of The Birthday Party, with a touch of Johnny Cash’s stoic power and Buster Keaton’s deadpan wit, Davidson's work paints a world where shadows and light dance in perfect harmony. His is a sound that escapes easy labels, an evolving tapestry of timeless influences refracted through a singular, genre-defying lens, forging its own path in a space where brand and convention are only stepping stones to something altogether more compelling.
His lyrics—often dark, sometimes haunting—probe deep into the human soul. From the chilling resonance of murder ballads to the raw, tender reflections on the intricacies of life, Davidson’s songs speak with an honesty few can match. A MUST SEE!
