Book now for FABLES – Kumeū Arts
18 July | 7:30 PM |
With support from Milly Taback

Fables celebrate the release of their debut album 'Change is a slow moving beast' hitting #2 in the Aotearoa Album charts. Known for their lush, cinematic folk and intimate storytelling, Fables bring their signature warmth and depth to calm any storm, bear witness to this intimate full-band performance at Cupid Bar.

If you’ve ever needed a reason to slow down and just breathe, Fables has provided the perfect soundtrack. Fronted by the immense talent of Jess Bailey and backed by a revolving cast of Tāmaki Makaurau’s finest, their debut album Change Is A Slow Moving Beast is exactly what the title suggests, a patient, evolving creature that demands you sit still and listen.

Audiences at previous Kumeū Arts concerts have described these nights as warm, relaxed, and deeply engaging — where humour, honesty, and musical craft combine in a unique shared experience. Expect everything from heartfelt ballads to playful banter, spontaneous collaborations, and those unrepeatable moments that only happen when artists inspire each other in real time.

Caitlin Smith’s powerful vocals and lyrical depth meet Derek Lind’s finely crafted songwriting, alongside Guy Wishart’s thoughtful storytelling and Andrew Bell’s fresh, Kiwiana style. Together, they create a dynamic and varied evening that moves effortlessly between emotion, connection, and entertainment.

Whether you’re a dedicated music lover or simply looking for a memorable night out, Songwriters in the Round offers something special — up close, personal, and genuinely authentic.
Come along, settle in, and enjoy the songs behind the stories.
