Moemoeā is a duo (Sherrie Flanagan and Chloe Danz) born in the vintage of 1984, hailing from the sunny east coast region of Hawkes Bay and both landed in Ōpunakē at different points where the journey of Moemoeā began.

Chloe Danz known for solo performances and recording with Unintended Strangers and Sherrie Flanagan (Ngāti Toa, Ngāti Mutunga) performing with Te Aiotanga o Houkura, Unity Wara Entertainment and King of the Mountain met at Opunake Players Incorporated through Heatwave a singing quintet.

After a night at Taranaki Singer songwriters in New Plymouth they were inspired to collaborate. Their first song quickly came together following an easy partnership, with Sherrie’s strength in writing and Chloe’s composition/melody.

Moemoeā released their first Debut EP Flicker on the 7th February 2025 after a year of recording and overwhelming support from their whānau, community and friends to release their harmonic sound.

The EP has been produced by Sam Johnson at Rhythm Ace Studios in Oakura over the last year and compromises of 5 tracks; Burn it down, Black Flicker, Monsters (the duo’s first music video), Regrets (released at the Taranaki Festival of Lights) and Switch off the newest release for the EP.
