Two-time winner of the Tui Award for “Best Country Album” Tami Neilson has pulled another double win as “Best Female Artist” at this month’s National Country Music Awards for the second year in a row.
The Canadian-born artist thanked her “NZ country music family” and said after moving here to marry a Kiwi and start her career over in a new country that she now “considers herself a Kiwi”, to which the 1000 plus audience of country music fans at the Founders Theatre in Hamilton erupted with applause.
Neilson is part of the highly anticipated entertainment line up for the Rugby World Cup, showcasing with her band during “Rural Lifestyle Week” and also performing as part of the Real NZ Festival’s “Topp Twins Hoe Down” at the Queens Wharf Oct 2011.
