Award-winning singer songwriter Hera has just turned forty and is still not feeling like a grown-up.
The Icelandic-Kiwi musician has lost count of how many times she has traveled the world with her guitar, performing at such diverse venues as the SXSW festival in Texas, Glastonbury in the UK, and a remote beach in Greenland.
For Off Centre, Hera's set will include songs from her self-titled 2020 album, a deeply personal album that has been a work in progress for a long time. Featuring vocals and guitar by Icelandic musician, Barði Jóhannson (Bang Gang/Lady & Bird).
Come and see Hera in an intimate setting where you will be one of just 45 people in the audience.
