Blue River Baby is a 6-piece genre-blending band from Aotearoa (New Zealand), fusing funk, soul, dub, reggae, and rock. Formed through Wellington’s vibrant music scene, the band united over a love of groove, songwriting, and conscious messages.
With tight musicianship, powerful vocals, and deep, danceable rhythms, BRB’s sound is as feel-good as it is thought-provoking — touching on sustainability, connection, and environmental awareness.
Highlights include:
Playing to 20,000+ on NYE in Nelson
Debut album hitting #1 on the NZ Indie Album Chart (IMNZ) and #8 on the Official NZ Top 20 Albums
Over 500,000 plays across TikTok & YouTube
Airplay on student and commercial radio
Premieres on RNZ Music, Juice TV, and more
Breakout single “Green Cones” — produced by Toby Lloyd (Shapeshifter, Hollie Smith) — became a nationwide radio fave, charting on NZ Radioscope and SRN Top 10. It marks the band’s evolution: rich grooves, conscious lyrics, and undeniable energy.
Having toured New Zealand to packed venues, Blue River Baby is set to release new music and hit the road for a summer tour — with sights set on festival stages worldwide.
