We join singer-songwriter samRB (pictured below) busking on Queen Street, Auckland for a chat about the connections she makes on the streets, and her debut album Seems I Might Be Human.

Live: Tono and the Finance Company in session
Live in session at Roundhead studio, Dunedin-raised Anthonie Tonnon (Tono) performs an Auckland-centric set of songs about Herne Bay landlords; K-Road bar-hopping; and writing break-up songs in Grey Lynn… with nods along the way to Hamilton, disagreeing with David Bowie and - of course - a little economic theory. Tono is joined in the studio by Lisa Crawley and Graham Panther.

Tono, live at Roundhead.
