Her debut album Daisy Fever is a 12-track, homegrown project recorded in her family home alongside her father (producer) and brother (drummer), resulting in a moody collection of songs with a feverish edge, pulsing with intensity, compassion, and emotional depth.
Issey returns home to celebrate the release of Daisy Fever with a special album launch at Vogelmorn Upstairs. She’ll perform with her New Zealand band featuring Issey Jean and Mikey Bennett on guitars, Olivia Campion on drums, and Audrey May on bass.
