E NOHO x Little Wilderness - Live in the Wild

Ā Tātou Kōrero - Our Story

E NOHO is a live streamed music show created and hosted by artist Ed Waaka, initiated in March 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic to promote mental wellbeing and connection through music and storytelling during lockdown.

Originally aired from Ed’s home studio, E NOHO has featured over 47 emerging and established NZ artists including Troy Kingi, MeloDownz, ARO, Mara TK, Lou’ana, ARIA, Arjuna Oaks, Kerryn Fields, PRINS, CHAII, KITA, AJA, Jenny Mitchell, VIKAE, Alayna and many more.

Along our journey we have been fortunate enough to work alongside organisations in support of NZ artists including The NZ Music Commission - NZ Music Month, Auckland Council - Music In Parks, Music Helps and UNESCO City of Music.

Ā Tātau Whāinga - Our Why

Our intention is to help artists and audiences reconnect after the digital disconnect caused by COVID-19. We want to provide opportunities for artists to share their music and stories in an intimate and authentic way, while creating unique live music experiences for audiences that promote meaningful connection between people and the environment.

To tautoko us on our journey, we have partnered with Little Wilderness, an off-the-grid eco venue located in the heart of Kumeu.

Little Wilderness Co-Owner George Vodanovich says:

"regeneration is the main driver and end game for Little Wilderness. As most green spaces disappear in the city, we are working to restore the native forest and stream that flows through our property. We’ve created areas to remind people how enjoyable and precious these wild green spaces are."

Through this partnership we aim to create a unique, intimate and engaging live music experience with a focus on reconnection and environmental regeneration through music.
