Adam & Marika
Adam and Marika met in the folk music scene regularly playing in the Clare Inn Irish sessions, they have often performed gigs for the Auckland Folk Festival, Saint Patrick’s Festivals, birthday parties, and all types of events over the North Island.
They started out playing traditional Irish and Scottish and have since added in their own originals and gypsy tunes to their sets. They both enjoy the versatility of the genres and strive to broaden their own horizons as well their audience’s.
Adam Ogle is a well-known musician in the Australasian scene, known for his work in the musical Once and the band Roughtown who have played at Welly Fest and other festivals across NZ and Australia. He has played with the likes of Sharon Shannon and Manus McGuire.
Marika Chia has been in the music scene in New Zealand for over a decade and has performed with musicians such as Ms Lauryn Hill, Jordan Luck and other NZ greats. She’s been a staple at the Auckland Folk Festival for the past 4 years.
Together they merge their love of Folk, Gypsy and Contemporary/Original works to create their own sound. Combining soulful ballads with electric tunes, they have drawn crowds to stages around Auckland and now to the Whare Flat Folk Festival main stage. Not to be missed!
