Soul singer-guitarist Hollie Smith, whose big break was her sultry rendition of Bathe in the River in 2006, went on to release her debut album Long Player, which won four 2007 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.
Smith will play songs from her debut and 2010 follow-up album Humour and the Misfortune of Others in the Winehouse on March 4.
Cheeky barefooted recording artist turned domestic goddess Anika Moa will perform hits and crowd favourites from her four multi-platinum albums when she takes to the stage on March 18.
Finally, the charismatic Fur Patrol frontwoman, Julia Deans, will present songs from her solo debut Modern Fables on the same bill as pop-inspired up-and-coming singer-songwriter Seth Haapu on April 1.
Tickets cost $45 for each Summer Playground gig and are available from Quest in Queenstown and Wanaka, the Arrowtown Information Centre or via the Eventfinder website.
The Winehouse doors open at 3pm and shows start at 5.30pm.
