James Hunter and The Gatherers is an alternative-folk four-piece based in Wellington, New Zealand. What began as a solo endeavour by frontman James Hunter, has morphed into a captivating group project that is influenced and grown by the talented wellington artists inhabiting it. The group draws musically from the likes of Jeff Buckley, Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver, focusing on the marriage of lyrical narratives and energising melodic arrangements. 
 Since 2021, they have been performing successful shows all around Aotearoa, including their debut NZ tour and sold-out shows in both Auckland and Wellington. 
 As a COVID-19 outlet, Hunter self-produced/released his two debut EPs ‘Last Little While and ‘You’ in 2020/2021 respectively. 2022 will welcome the group’s 3rd EP, ‘Memories of the Future’ set to be released later that year. 
 The Gatherers are made up of Taylar Mallo (Bass), Jacob Gates (Lead Guitar) and Emerson McCullough (Drums.)
