Hobnail Trio

Hobnail are a Wellington institution. They have played shows everywhere from Pittsburgh to Paekakariki, New Plymouth to Norfolk Island, Auckland to Amsterdam, Germany to Gore, the Canadian Praries to the Canterbury Plains. They are 3-time finalists at the New Zealand Music Awards (Best Folk Album and Best Country Song twice).
Hobnail celebrated 30 years of active service in 2024, and now in 2025 will be touring across New Zealand with new album by core members Rob Joass (vocals, guitar, mandola) Jo Moir (vocals, violin) and Hamish Graham (vocals, guitars, percussion).
The new album features reworked versions of some of their much loved originals as well a some crowd favourite Kiwi and Australian cover versions. These songs highlight the vocal and instrumental interplay between these 3 exceptional musicians.
With “Jo Moir's barnstorming fiddle”, great songs and spectacular harmonies, Hobnail's live show will make your feet move and your heart sing.
"Refreshingly down-to-earth and lovely with vocals so tightly knit they could be family." Mike Alexander, NZ Herald.
