Halton Hart is a very rare and unique musical family of 8 girls, where music plays a massive role in their lives. All the girls have been taught music by Gore based recording artist Kayla Mahon with all starting at the young age of 2, up on the stage, singing on the country music competition circuit.

 

Halton Hart have released original songs, three singles played on Radio in Australia and New Zealand. "Grandad Mait, award winning "Little Boots" and just recently "Sweet Ride". 

 

Georgia and Meila also go under the duo name ‘The Sparks’ and are the current runner up overall MLT NZ Junior Gold Guitar Awards winners. The girls opened for the Mitchell Twins last year at Gore’s Little Theatre. Meila is the current Junior Overall Winner for the Dunedin Country Music Awards 2024 and Georgia is the New Zealand Junior Country Music Entertainer of the Year 2025. 

 

Expect a night of fun, talent and the kids taking the stage to shine, joining them will be young promising stars. A night not to forget during the Tussock Country Festival 2026.
