Bay Originals is an original music community with the mission “to build an appreciative audience for local original music while giving musicians a platform to play”. The first event was held in 2017 at a small bar in Mount Maunganui which grew to an audience of over 350 at Totara St in 2018, and even bigger attendees at Papamoa Beach Tavern.

In that time we have had over 120 musician take to the stage, many for the first time. We’ve had 1000’s of attendees appreciate local original music.

We now hold 4 large events per year:

• Bay Originals Summer Day Out – Papamoa Beach Tavern
• Bay Originals at Astrolabe
• Bay Originals at Totara St
• Bay Originals Youth – TBA

To get involved message the team on through Facebook. Send video and samples of your music.
