The recent collaboration of Jo Little and Anna van Riel has brought to the deep south of New Zealand, a cornicopia of bluegrass, folk and contemporary rock, all stirred up into one big ol' melting to pot.

The two officially meeting in a music history class and the rest is...you guessed it! Jo Little has spent the last three years playing it cool in the beautiful Milford sound, working, performing and sharing her tunes with the lucky folk of the Fiords. Her clever way with words and soulful alto vocals create some magic original compositions.

After hearing of this 'Amazing Jo Little' woman from local band and good friends 'Kramit', Anna decided to swoop in on a good opportunity. A keen songwriter and performer herself, van Riel approached Little asking if she would be prepared to have a run through of some original works. Her high range and witty play on old covers appealed to Little.
