Plus1 proudly presents Mel Parsons live around Aotearoa in some of our countries most beautiful theatres.
 
Taking its namesake from the remote mountain town in the Southern Alps where it was recorded, CASTLE HILL was produced by Josh Logan and recorded live with Mel’s longtime band members Aaron Stewart (bass) and Jed Parsons (drums); joined by Ben King (Goldenhorse, Grand Rapids) on guitars. Parsons says of the sessions: “it was a full immersion recording experience over a stolen summer holiday” 

Following the release of SABOTAGE  in 2024, multi-award winning Parsons toured the country with Crowded House, performed in Canada and Australia, and has continued her stellar run including a finalist nod for Best Folk Artist at the 2026 AMA’s. 

Singles already released from the record include the alternative radio chart toppers, ‘Post High Slide’, ‘Brick By Brick’, ‘Be Here Now’, ‘Don’t Leave The Light On’, ‘Caravan’, as well as the most recent single, ‘Grain by Grain’. 


Expect soaring harmonies, a dynamic live show, and a feel-good vibe throughout as Mel Parsons performs live.
