Briggs Stark Duo

Country - Folk, with a tickle of Flute

Briggs & Stark have joined forces to create a captivating blend of Americana and Folk music, with a tickle of flute, which sits in the same vien as The Shires, Ward Thomas and Of Monsters and Men.
They found their paths merging almost unexpectedly in 2020, amidst the backdrop of the pandemic. Having met only once, 6 years prior, they hadn't anticipated the formation of a personal connection, let alone a musical collaboration… But here we are.

Both halves of this dynamic duo create music as part of separate projects. Briggs is the driving force behind the catchy hooks of Americana band Downtown Roundabout and Claudia Stark tells stories of human nature and heartbreak in her Indie-Folk solo venture. But when these worlds collide, a magnetic fusion of genres emerges, with lyrics that embody the art of cherishing life, revelling in companionship, and being steadfast allies through every high and low.

Whilst the pair have only been writing and performing together for a couple of years, they have collectively accumulated over 20 years of live music experience including local shows, national festivals and even busking on the streets of New Zealand!

Currently Briggs & Stark are set to release their first single "Go Ahead” on the 6th October, with a debut EP to follow in February 2024.
