Dust & Gold - Nelson Arts Festival

Fresh from opening for UB40, Nelson duo Dust & Gold blends Nikita Fountain’s beautiful songbird voice and Mark McKenzie’s rich baritone over a wholesome and raw acoustic accompaniment of original material.

Their carefully crafted songs range from haunting Celtic influenced ballads, to foot-tapping sing-along bluegrass tunes. Their recently released debut single ‘Merry Go ‘Round’ is available on all digital platforms.

A free hothouse granary gig.

The Granary Festival Café at Founders Heritage Park is home to an exciting line-up of local musicians.

Enjoy a fine local beverage, delicious food and free entertainment courtesy of Nelson Arts Festival and HotHouse.

Stop by before heading to the Festival Mainstage for Caravãna Sun, or make a night of it in the Granary. Make sure you arrive in good time as these gigs often fill up quickly!
