Music NSW has announced 15 regional artists selected for its 2026 Regional Touring Program, and we're thrilled that two of them call the Mid North Coast home.
Bahi, based in Coffs Harbour on Gumbaynggirr Country, is an indie-folk artist whose songwriting draws on felt experience and the natural world. SNEZ, from Valla Beach, brings a powerful personal history to her music — her sixth studio album Cardboard Wings, released this year, explores themes of refuge, displacement, and her Macedonian heritage through 14 songs of real depth and range.
Now in its fourth year and supported by Create NSW and Sound NSW, the program gives selected artists hands-on touring experience, mentoring from Music NSW's regional coordinators, and a financial subsidy to help get their music to new audiences across NSW. With artists selected from across the state — from the Central West to the South Coast to the Mid North Coast — it's a genuine celebration of what's happening beyond the capital.
Congratulations to both Bahi and SNEZ. We can't wait to see you on the road.
