Leigh Sawmill 5pm Matinee
With a soulful voice straight from the golden age of country and rockabilly music, Tami Neilson has been described as the love child of Patsy Cline and Roy Orbison.
Singing her heart out along endless roads and stages, from her days as a young girl in the touring Neilson Family band opening for the likes of Johnny Cash to her full blossoming as a formidable talent in her own right, Tami Neilson has won the Tui Award for each of her past three albums.
Now, with her explosive new album “Dynamite!” she’s bound to turn even more heads.
Her first album to be recorded solely in New Zealand at The Sitting Room in Lyttelton and produced by Delaney Davidson and Ben Edwards, “Dynamite!” showcases Tami’s skill at writing and crafting a song and her diversity as an artist.
Far from slowing down with motherhood, in the past year Tami has performed at 5 international festivals in Australia and North America, headlined 4 national tours, working with “Grand Ole Hayride” and “The Gunslingers Ball”, opened for Emmylou Harris at the Vector Arena and was chosen to pay tribute at Dave Dobbyn’s induction into the Hall of Fame in a stunning performance at the prestigious Silver Scrolls.
Included in her album release tour are stops in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, where she'll be doing a taster set at The Very Vintage Day Out, followed by her album launch that night at Galatos Ballroom, which will also be the VVDO Official After-Party. This is the first time Tami will be touring with her full band, so this will be a show you do not want to miss!
