Reb Fountains new album Water For Gasoline delivers another striking body of work from one of New Zealand's most acclaimed contemporary artists, a record that confronts the challenges of our times while searching for light, beauty and connection amongst the noise.
The same artistic instinct and collective spirit that shapes Water for Gasoline has long defined Reb Fountain’s live performances, with her live band taking her recordings to the next level. In celebration of her new work, Reb brings an enhanced band line up to audiences across Aotearoa and Australia this October, featuring Dianne Swann and James Duncan alongside bandmates Dave Khan & Earl Robertson.
Joining Reb in Auckland is Otago artist Mads Harrop. After conquering the Student Radio Charts with her single ‘Contagious’ in 2020 Mads has continued to highlight themes of neurodiversity through her music. Her diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome in 2019 directly affects her songwriting with her track ‘Hiding in Colour’ written shortly after her diagnosis to help her through the challenge. Playing with her full band for both shows, Mads is a welcome addition to the tour.
