BIO

The Wax Birds are a harmonious acoustic duo born in the Yorkshire valleys and now living and performing across the beautiful South Island of New Zealand, from their rural home near Christchurch in Canterbury, to their second home on the wild West Coast, and beyond!

​

Born amidst the picturesque valleys of Yorkshire and raised on the eclectic sounds of Dolly Parton, Motown classics, Americana/folk, Northern indie, pop punk anthems, and even a guilty pleasure or two from the 80s, The Wax Birds are a true testament to the diversity of musical inspiration....
