You, Me, Everybody

You, Me, Everybody pushes the boundaries of what New Zealand knows of a genre that was formed on tradition and rules to create progressive bluegrass. While upbeat bangers are part of their repertoire, this is no pub band, but rather a collection of the best of New Zealand’s acoustic instrumentalists that are searching for a new, dynamic sound that showcases the best of Americana in Aotearoa.

Referred to as New Zealand’s first “Bluegrass Supergroup”, the excitement around their inception saw them play their first live gig as openers for The Felice Brothers as part of the Americana fest at Auckland’s Tuning Fork. They recorded their EP a week later and in February 2020, You, Me, Everybody released their self-titled debut EP, which reached number 13 in the New Zealand album charts. This debut also saw them named as finalists for Best NZ Folk Artist, 2021 in the Aotearoa Music Awards. Their first full length album, Southern Sky, was released in January 2021, which again debuted in the top 20 of the NZ album charts. In 2023 they gained a new, worldwide audience after featuring in Netflix’s Sweet Tooth. Successful tours of both Australia and New Zealand followed and now the band are back for some intimate shows to celebrate what they have always done best and trial some new material as they work towards their third album.
