Tami Neilson returns to the Bay
Posted on the 1 June 2017
Darling of the 2016 Harcourts Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival, Tami Neilson & her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm are coming to play Napier for one night only on Sunday June 11th at the Ballroom in the newly redeveloped Napier City Convention Centre.
Tami’s show at last year’s festival was the first to sell out, and she delivered a blistering set that people are still talking about.
In her most extensive headline tour of New Zealand this year, multi-award winning songstress Tami Neilson and her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm are taking their hit show the ‘Songs Of Sinners’ on the road this May and June!
Playing up and down the country for over a month, Tami and her band will belt out classics and rarities from the greats who have had a hand in creating and inspiring the powerhouse that Tami is today. The second set will comprise of Tami Neilson originals including APRA Silver Scroll winning song ‘Walk Back To Your Arms’ from 2014’s Dynamite and "Holy Moses", the Top 5 hit from her latest album, Don’t Be Afraid.
‘Songs of Sinners’ is a journey through soul, country, gospel and blues and how it all became rock and roll, as Tami sings the songs of the musicians that were there as it happened – Sister Rosetta Thorpe, Howlin’ Wolf, Mavis Staples, Blind Willie Johnson, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and many, many more.
Tami Neilson has spent a significant amount of time overseas in the past year playing sold out shows across the USA and Canada, dazzling audiences with every performance.
“All those in attendance last night shared those chills you get when you know you’re in the presence of a star. The rest of the world may not know it yet, but Tami Neilson is a star, the real deal” FYI Music News, Canada
“When Tami covered the old Otis Rush song Reap What You Sow the room was awash in one of those moments you only get to experience a few times in your entire musical life.” Saving Country Music, USA
