Arts On Tour NZ is pleased to present the first concert tour of 2010, Delgirl. Delgirl is an all-women three-piece musical group from Dunedin.
These Southern gals, Deirdre Newell, Erin Morton and Lynn Vare have been making music together since 2000. Their debut album “Two, maybe three, days ride” received great acclaim and was awarded the Tui NZ Folk Album of the Year for 2008.
This self-released debut album was awarded the Tui at the Auckland Folk Festival in Kumeu. Their second recording “Porchlight” just released late 2009, has also received rave reviews and represents a more countrified offering compared to their debut .
The acoustic group describes its sound as “skiffily, folky, country, jazzy, bluesy roots music with a Pacific edge bordering a swamp”, and creates harmonies built around the double bass, guitar, ukuleles, banjo, snare and percussion.
