Saturday 10 March 7.30pm

Whanganui Regional Museum 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anna Coddington released her critically acclaimed sophomore album Cat & Bird in Feb last year, firmly establishing herself as an artist of note in her homeland. Described by critics as 'a balanced set of exceptional indie pop' (Waikato Times), 'breathtaking' (Yahoo Entertainment), and 'captivating, creative, thoughtful, harmonious and sophisticated' (M2 Magazine), Cat & Bird was mostly written during mornings spent on the back deck with guitar, pen and paper, scribbling ideas and thoughts that arose in a pre-coffee, early morning haze, and dreams she didn't want to forget. It was a ritual of sorts, and one that would usually be followed by afternoons in the dark of her home studio, developing and realising these new ideas.
