Wow, November is a big month full of shows, from KatiKati to Gisborne, Wairoa to Waiheke Island, Hamilton to...THE VECTOR ARENA!!!
I can barely talk about opening for country music royalty Emmylou Harris (one of my musical heroes) because it makes me too excited to eat or sleep! Even as I type it my hands are shaking and my tummy is full of butterflies. *exhale...inhale...exhale...inhale* If you are lucky enough to have a ticket to this show and get there good and early for my little opening solo set as part of the Gunslingers Ball line-up, please give me a cheer and a smile and I will try not to pass out from excitement and miss the whole thing ;-)
Another highlight this month will be performing with Delaney Davidson and Marlon Williams on the Waiheke show of their "Sad but True" tour on 17 Nov @ Artworks Theatre. I went to see these boys do a set together a couple months ago and I haven't been that blown away musically in a long time. Come out and see what the critics are raving about...it's the first time we three finalists for the Country Music Awards 2012 will be performing together!
Had a great time at the NZ Music Awards this past week and it was lovely to be acknowledged for winning "Best Country Album" in front of an audience that included Ben Harper, Kimbra and Mumford & Sons. A big deal for this little gal. Here's a photo of me and my hot date (who hates walking the red carpet, but does it for me...hehe)
I've also been cooking up a hot and tasty summer tour for March 2013 and there's a new music video on the way too, so keep an eye out for more news coming soon. And if the occasional newsletter just isn't enough, be sure to like my "Tami Neilson" music page on Facebook and get all the juicy gossip!
Hope to see some of you on the road this month!
Love, Tami
