Josh Rennie-Hynes will be crossing the Tasman in June of 2015 for his second full-length solo tour of New Zealand. See details listed below.
Rennie-Hynes is a rising Australian artist in the Americana and Folk genres, with strong New Zealand family connections.
Support acts include a selection of local New Zealand artists including Will Wood, Reb Fountain, and Clara Van Wel.
Rennie-Hynes released his debut album February in July 2014 to acclaim and national radio coverage. February was produced by ARIA award winning Australian artist and producer Shane Nicholson. February is distributed by MGM.
Rennie-Hynes toured his album across New Zealand in late 2014. He returns to share more songs and be inspired by the New Zealand winter.
Rennie-Hynes says, “I love New Zealand as a country. Visually, It’s just a stunning place to tour. I played some great rooms with audiences who really listened. Why winter' I love the cold and I love the snow
During the 2014 tour Rennie-Hynes penned a song called 'Land of Clouds'. He explains, I was driving somewhere on the highway between Auckland and Napier, I'd played the last show of the tour the night before and I was reflecting on not just the shows, but the entire experience. Suddenly, this song and melody popped into my head. I pulled the car over by the side of a river and typed the lyrics out into my phone in ten minutes. It's a new favourite of mine and I think it'll make the cut on my next record.
Since the release of February, Rennie-Hynes has consistently toured across regional and urban Australia and New Zealand. He has played on a variety of festival and venue stages as special guest and headline act. Most recent tours were alongside Liam Gerner including an appearance as support for Paolo Nutini, and Caitlin Harnett.
