Wanaka Muso's Club and Songwriter Circle
The Wanaka Musician's Club is a performance session held every
second Sunday at Mint Bar. The main aim is to provide local talent
with an opportunity to showcase their skills in a friendly
supportive environment.
More than just an open mic night, a full stage's equipment
including all amplification, instruments and sound system is
supplied, catering to a wider array of musicians. Drummers,
bassists, keyboard players etc. all have a chance to perform.
The club also provides entertainment for the community and
revenue for Mint Bar.
The singer songwriter circle is a multifaceted, fortnightly meeting
of local songwriters with a focus on group participation. Taking
place at the Wanaka Arts Centre, it aims to provide an inspiring
and supportive space for local artists to hone their songwriting
skills. It promotes opportunities for musicians to meet and
network, or to form potential musical partnerships. The
singer/songwriter circle offers mentorship and workshops with
practical direction.
