Late Lounge: Johanna Mystery

Since bursting onto the New Zealand music scene in 2010, multi-instrumentalist Johanna Mystery has already performed with award-winning singer-songwriter Jess Chambers (The Woolshed Sessions), as well as performed and recorded with a string of established New Zealand musicians, including virtuoso guitarist Justin Firefly Clarke (The Woolshed Sessions), and Nigel Collins (sole accompanying musician for Flight of The Conchords). Check her out in March at one of The Dowse's famous monthly music sessions, Late Lounge takes place on the first Thursday of every month. All galleries, cafe, shop and cash bar open until 9pm. Entry by koha.

Johanna's music is a combination of acoustic soul, Pacific Island roots and folk music styles. It's been described as reminiscent of the organ-infused sounds of The Doors, mixed with the edgy and soulful vibes of Amy Winehouse, Tracey Chapman, and Joan Armitrading.

Her band includes drummer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Lemi Wood (Hikoikoi, Jump St), and jazz bassist Will Sklenars (Jump St, Justin Firefly Trio).
