Band & Deliver is back for its second year at the Jam Factory—an electrifying platform for young musicians to play, learn, and grow. Whether they dream of rocking the stage or mastering live production, this project gives them the hands-on experience and confidence to thrive in a collaborative, supportive environment.
 

Meet the Team Behind the Magic

  • Aaron Wright – Music educator (Tauranga Boys’ College) and seasoned musician.

  • Marc Anderson – Festival producer and music industry veteran (worked with legends like Prince, Michael Jackson, and Tom Jones).

  • Nigel Gregory & Bret Williams (Jam Factory) – Committed to creating opportunities for young talent to flourish.
     

"Band & Deliver is all about giving young musos a chance to perform, produce, and connect in a fun, professional setting. When I was starting out, there was nothing like this—now, we’re helping the next generation go further." – Marc Anderson

Season one featured explosive acts from Otumoetai College, Pāpāmoa College, Tauranga Boys’ College, and independent artists. This year? Bigger. Louder. Better.
