Coastella artist profile: Rosy Tin Teacaddy
Formed in 2007, Rosy Tin Teacaddy, comprising Holly Jane Ewens and Andy Hummel, have been described as 'gothic folktronica' wrapping their tightly woven harmonies in layers of treated guitar and subtle soundscapes, always with an eye on the song, a heart in a mouth and a lump in the throat.
The duo, from Paekākāriki, have appeared at numerous arts festivals, toured with the likes of Eb and Sparrow and The Eastern, and supported acts including Iron & Wine, Jose Gonzalez and Rhian Sheehan.
In 2013 they received Best Music Award at the NZ Fringe Festival.
Their debut EP, Blind Leading The Blind (2007) opened to audiences with a sold-out theatrical show while their following full-length album The Homeward Stretch was recorded with multi-award winner Lee Prebble, and was warmly received.
