Loading up another round after the successful 2010 tour “Saints & Sinners”, Canadian-born Tami Neilson (two-time Tui Award winner for Best Country Album 2009 & 2010) joins forces once again with Lauren Thomson (winner of the NZ Songwriting Trust 2010 and APRA Silver Scroll nominee) for the 20-date national tour “Chanteuses & Shotguns”. Starting on Waiheke the tour will end at Raglan’s Orca restaurant.
Launching the collaborative “sister albums” they recorded in Canada earlier this year: Tami’s “The Kitchen Table Sessions Vol II” (the follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed Vol 1) and Lauren’s highly anticipated full-length release, “Chanteuses & Shotguns”, they will be bringing their foot-stomping, harmony-infused music across the nation on their 20-date tour with what Metro magazine calls “A soulful blend of alt-country and folk”.
“I seriously doubt you’ll find more talented women sharing a stage anywhere in this country than these singer-songwriters: not only do they individually have terrific and memorable songs (many of them), but they play the heartfelt ones from places deep inside and their arse-kicking ones with undiluted energy” – Graham Reid, Elsewhere
