My Christmas present 🎁 … I’m going on the road this Summer with my wild Canadian fellow @madeleine_dove to play! Been a long time, but I’m here to share new songs and see these wonderful places once again (or for the first time).
Mads will be supporting me and sharing her own music at select shows too ❤️

The tour ended a while ago now. It really was the best time. Thank you to all who came along to any of the shows. These photos are from our North Island shows, each with their own highlights. We were treated so well again - Michael, Coco, Seth, Mason, Gary thank you! The show went on and we managed to always rest our heads. ❤️
May the music find you soon x x
Tour complete ⭐️ more thank you shortly but for now, what a feeling. Magical night in Tāmaki Makaurau. Many magical nights. I owe you more. Love to the day ones ❤️

Violet Hirst & Madeleine Dove are playing at Dawn as part of Violet’s Summer Tour. Tickets via Undertheradar. Link in our bio.
Excited for this!
This Saturday 29 November, don't miss local talent @violethirst performing an evening of contemporary acoustic stories at Te Atamira at 7pm, with Wakatipu High School's Littles Road Trio opening. There will be door sales available on the day ($25 adult | $15 student) or you can head to our website to secure your spot now.
Former performances have been described by @radionewzealand as "brimming with the confidence of an artist fully inhabiting their own sound; wistful and slightly heartbroken, but unencumbered by expectation." Not to be missed!
📽: Filmed by Lara Coddington at one s former performance at the Sherwood. Backing vocals by Madeleine.
Next and only show for a little while here at home. Celebrating some local songwriters with two high-school opening acts who are divine ❣️ trying out our new trio setup with flute & guitars.
November 29th at @teatamirawhakatipu 7pm. Tickets are at the link in my bio.
