Evie Bamford is a songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), Aotearoa, crafting richly layered indie rock that blends the intimacy of folk-inspired songwriting with the colourful textures of her jazz and classical background.
She’s been described as “one of Tamaki Makaurau’s most promising indie voices” (Roots) with “a very clear vision of what she wants her music to sound like” (NZ Musician).
Following a strong run of radio and chart success in 2026, Evie will release her six-track debut EP Now Rising, Now Falling on 1 September, followed by a North Island tour.
Her latest single, Daily Bread, spent two weeks at #1 on the RadioScope Alternative Airplay Chart, while also reaching #1 on 95bFM’s Top Ten and RDU Te Ahi’s Top Ten. It went on to hit #13 on the Official Aotearoa Music Charts’ Hot 20 Aotearoa Singles.
Written across three years, Now Rising, Now Falling documents a period of transition as Evie moved into her mid-20s, exploring anxiety, self-worth, relationships and resilience through six intricately arranged indie-rock songs. The EP’s title reflects the emotional push and pull of growing up; the experience of moving forward and falling back, while also nodding to breathwork and the practice of returning to the present moment.
