Poets And Prophets Vol Ii – Ryan Fisherman, Holly Kimber, Reuben Ishrahm

After the success of Volume I, Poets & Prophets is back with two new artists, hosted again by Reuben Ishrahm.

Poets & Prophets is a space for artists to present their art at it’s most vulnerable. Set in a writers round, artists take turns sharing the deep cuts, the personal and raw songs that you may not usually hear at a traditional show – and the stories that shape them. This will be an intimate event, showcasing a side of these musicians that you may not have seen before!

VOLUME II: Ryan Fisherman, Holly Kimber & Reuben Ishrahm

Ryan Chin has never seemed content in making music in just one scene. Starting his career as a drummer for successful indie electronica act Doprah, moving into deep session work for a gamut of Aotearoa’s most successful independent acts, whilst also adopting the nom de plume Ryan Fisherman only demonstrates the natural embracement of change of a mature
recording artist.
His first debut album Vibe is an intensely self-reflective work, featuring notable musicians from across his storied history as a touring and recording artist. The album’s opiate country oeuvre rightfully earned a finalist placing at 2021’s Best Country Artist category at NZ’s Country Music Awards. Alongside extensive coverage on RNZ and festival appearances, Chin established himself as an austere voice in Aotearoa’s alternative music
camp.
Now refocusing into new weird folk territory after supporting the likes of Julia Jacklin, Tiny Ruins and Kane Strang, Ryan Fisherman continues moving forward, making personable tunes for the ever-loved and to-be-loved.

Holly Kimber is an Otautahi based songwriter, who deals in emotional, folk-tinged vocals and songs hazed with a psychedelic streak.

Reuben Ishrahm is in no way a stranger to the Christchurch creative scene, but until recently it has been many years since he has taken to the stage under the mantle of his own name. Baring his teeth with his heart on his sleeve, Ishrahm’s music is raw, real and honest. Forged in the fires of feeling, his music bares true to the values he writes from: “I just want to write music that makes people feel.”
Alongside performing at these events, Reuben hosts the writers round and event.
