S02E13: This week we put the spotlight on local artist - Singer-songwriter and guitarist Dylan Wade Lajunen has had a lot of experience with making music. A prominent figure in the Coromandel Peninsula music scene, he has toured extensively in New Zealand and abroad. In the 1990s he fronted the psych-rock/blues/funk outfit Castle Rock, who were the first act to take Coromandel music to the rest of New Zealand. Since then he has performed and recorded with various lineups and obtained a Master of Arts specialising in Music.

‘The Light’ is DYLAN’s first release since the episodically eclectic ‘Life’ (2012) and his strongest work to date. It was recorded live at Roundhead Studios as part of Dylan’s Masters studies and features tasteful support from ten local and international artists.
