About the show
Good Habits are a dynamic Indie-folk band with a knack for turning existential musings into bursts of relentless optimism.
With vocals, cello, accordion, synths and drums at their core, they carve out a sound that’s virtuosic, cinematic and unapologetically fun. A blend of folk-ish storytelling, groove-driven energy and existential hope.
Formed by singer-cellist Bonnie Schwarz and accordionist/synth Pete Shaw, this couple began their band’s journey with a twist of fate: stranded in New Zealand during the pandemic, they set about transforming their temporary home into a whirlwind of creativity.
They fell in love with troubadour life of sharing songs, swapping stories, and building real human connections wherever they went. That sense of adventure, of music as both anchor and passport, has remained at the heart of their identity as they came home.
In 2025, Good Habits evolved into a new powerhouse line-up with the addition of drummer Jen Walinetski (Miles Kane), supercharging their already dynamic live show with a rhythmic drive that has electrified audiences. Together, they create performances that are equal parts virtuosic musicianship, mischievous energy, and deeply meaningful connection.
Their UK Top 40 Folk charting album ‘Quarter-Life’ won praise from BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, and 5 Live, and glowing reviews describing their sound as “musicianship at its 21st century best” (Tom Robinson, BBC), alongside recent festival appearances at Glastonbury, WOMAD, Ca
Featuring - Good Habits
Described as “engagingly clear across a rich variety of styles” (Songlines), Good Habits are a UK alt-folk duo, telling stories and turning heads across the globe. Composed of singer-cellist Bonnie Schwarz and accordionist Pete Shaw, the duo create folk-ish musical tales, with captivating lyrics married with their unique brand of brisk instrumental virtuosity.
During time spent happily stranded in New Zealand because of the pandemic, Good Habits have performed alongside the country’s top acts including Nadia Reid, Ria Hall and Lost Tribe Aotearoa, and won the Purbeck Folk Rising Award 2020. Debut album Going For Broke received glowing press in Songlines and the New Zealand Herald, and their hectic tour schedule has included performances at New Zealand’s largest festivals, including CubaDupa, TSB Festival of Lights, Luminate and countless other independent venues.
