Hawke’s Bay Music Hub is on a mission to get great local music heard by the masses.

Established in 2019 by the Backline Charitable Trust, we want to promote local music by connecting artists with opportunities to entertain and advance their careers.

Whether you make music, manage events or just feel like checking out some great live music, the Hawke’s Bay Music Hub is the fastest way to get the lowdown on who’s making all the noise in the thriving Hawke’s Bay music scene.

HB COMPILATION RECORD SERIES

We want to reflect the diversity and quality of new and established musicians producing original music in Hawke’s Bay. Each year, we ask artists to submit their song for an incredible chance to be featured alongside established acts and showcase their music in a limited edition vinyl record.
