It's a case of new year, new sound for award-winning folk duo Tattletale Saints.
Guitarist/vocalist Cy Winstanley and double bassist/vocalist Vanessa McGowan were on a high after winning a New Zealand Music Award for Folk Album of the Year, 2014.
Fresh off the back of that success they packed up and relocated to Nashville, Tennessee to expand themselves musically.
"We live on the road now, we are trying to spend a little bit more time in Nashville but touring in America you are on the road every day," Winstanley says. "For us now a five- to seven-hour drive is normal."
Plunging themselves into the heart of Nashville's vibrant music scene inspired a change in sound, hence the addition of celebrated Kiwi drummer Tom Broome for their fifth New Zealand tour.
