Reb Fountain is a premium New Zealand award-winning artist. Her Flying Nun debut Reb Fountain and sophomore IRIS were both released to critical acclaim with MOJO’s Martin Aston calling Reb, “New Zealand’s next alt-folk sensation” and STUFF heralding, “Reb is a revelation. I could have watched her show on any stage in the world and she would have deserved to be there.”

Reb Fountain and band recently completed an 18 date tour of the UK//EU/Eire in support of Marlon Williams culminating with their own debut UK show in London in November, 2022. This followed on from their Australian debut at Womadelaide 2022, subsequent gigs at The Brunswick Ballroom and Howler in Melbourne and premiering at Big Sound in Brisbane. These international shows were the cherry on the cake after having toured IRIS to sold out shows in iconic theatres around Aotearoa, finally connecting with and astounding audiences around the country.

“When Reb came on, the room erupted with noise, her superstar status in New Zealand reinforced by the crowd. Whilst this was her first headline show in London, it was instantly clear this wasn’t Rebs first rodeo.”
Music-News, 2022
“Shaman-like, Fountain moves across the stage and through the various stages of herself to deliver these songs, devotionals. She and the band are not just world class performers, they might in fact be world-beaters.”
Simon Sweetman, 2022

“At first, I thought I was listening to a cross between Patti Smith and Nick Cave but these comparisons quickly fall away as Reb is a true original.”
Hifiway, 2022
