Show Notes
Six60 have unveiled a new country and roots music festival in Matakana, which is set to take place this January.
The 'Sweet Home Aotearoa' festival line-up will be curated by Six60 and promises to feature big names to bring a taste of Nashville to New Zealand shores.
Six60 lead singer and guitarist Matiu Walters says he's felt a strong connection to country and roots music every time he goes to Nashville - and he thought it would be a cool idea to bring that to New Zealand.
"Roots and country have this cross-section that I really love and I think it's just going to be really fun...it's just something new that I think people are going to really love."
