13 June 2025 – Carylann Martin and Steve Poulton

The Levin Folk Music Club meets again Friday 13 June with special guests Carylann Martin and Steve Poulton.

Carylann is a multi-talented musician and song writer who has wowed audiences at many festivals and events throughout New Zealand.

Well known for her powerful lead vocals and skill playing keys and ‘squeeze box’, Carylann has worked successfully in the professional music industry most of her life, playing a huge variety of gigs and featuring live several times on National Radio and Maori television.

She has been a recipient of 2 Gold Guitar Awards and, in 2021, finalist in the NZ Country Music MLT Songwriting Awards. 5 album releases are also under her belt, all reflecting her country heart and ability to connect powerfully to the audience through song.

Carylann says –

“I’m delighted to have my friend Steve Poulton join me for our guest appearance at the Levin Folk Club & can’t wait to see what we can cook up together!”

Steve is a lifelong musician (and sound/recording engineer) with skills playing many instruments but especially guitars!

He’s been a touring artist since age 16, in NZ, Australia, Europe, Canada and the USA – where he lived for nearly 20 years. This influence is stained in his sound. Highly versatile in style, switching from acoustic finger style guitar, to open tuned dobro, to banjo and electric guitar.

Steve’s rich resonant vocals and blazing guitar performances enthral and captivate music lovers and guitar fans alike.


Come and find out for yourself at: Levin Folk Music Club, Friday June 13th at the Horowhenua Scottish Society Hall, 155 Bartholomew Road, corner Bartholomew Road and Middlesex Street, Levin.

Doors open at 7:00 pm and the evening begins at 7:30 pm with a blackboard of performers, where there is an opportunity for musicians to put their name up for an item. The guests perform after supper and the drawing of the raffle.
