Hello Wholesome Homies!

We are the Home Sweet Homies - a local six piece rock/pop band from Nelson NZ!

For those who don't know us, we are an independent band passionate about creating fun original music that brings messages of hope to whoever needs it. Here is an example from our latest album: https://youtu.be/M5VrRLfVPbc

We are fundraising because........

We have been given the awesome opportunity to perform at one of NZ's music festivals this year - FESTIVAL ONE!

This festival is the biggest music opportunity that we have been given so far, so we’re very honoured to be asked to take part in it!

We are so excited about going, but are based in Nelson (the festival is in Hamilton) so we are fundraising to cover our travel and accomodation costs. Any extra funds would also go towards the cost of our next EP which we are in the midst of making and are very excited to share with you next year!

We are so thankful to everyone who has supported and shared our music over the years, we love you all and are grateful for every person!

We would be so honoured if you would financially partner with us to make this trip a possibility.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Love from the Homies:)

Home Sweet Homies is working with the Dugdale Charitable Trust

All funds raised will go towards travel and accommodation costs ($5,000). Any excess funds will go towards costs for our next EP (music videos, recording and marketing costs).

Update from Jed😊  15 February 2026

A massive thank you to everyone of you who helped make it possible for us to travel to festival one! It was quite the journey, our car engine ended up blowing up partway there. But we all made it safely (except Joy who was too unwell to travel and perform). We had two performances at the festival. The whole place was mud central! Mud everywhere, thick, and all over our gear too, it was quite the experience!!! We filmed our journey and experience there, which I’m currently editing. We’ll be releasing a video or two next month, so keep an eye out for that on our official YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@HomeSweetHomies

Again, thank you so much to all of you for being so generous and helping us cover the costs to travel there and back. God bless you abundantly!

Never heard of you before today, but LOVED seeing you at Festival One! You were incredible. Hoping you can go back again next year, and hopefully be a bit earlier in the schedule.
