Maxine Funke

Maxine Funke is a New Zealand singer and songwriter based in Dunedin. She writes quiet folk songs, and she came out of the Dunedin underground, where she played in the improvising $100 Band with Alastair Galbraith. Her albums Silk (2018) and Seance (2021) brought her an audience well beyond New Zealand. Funke also played in the Snares and the Beaters. Her first solo album, Lace (2008), was issued on CD-R, and Felt, recorded on a four-track machine in a fishing village near Dunedin, followed on Epic Sweep. Time-Lag reissued both in 2016.
