Internationally acclaimed Dunedin-based folk singer Nadia Reid will be relocating with her family to live in the UK less than a week after performing her five Small Hall Sessions in Hawke’s Bay.
Locally based promoter and owner of the Small Hall Sessions, Jamie Macphail, says that very few New Zealand artists have received the level of international attention and success that Reid has.
“There is an intimacy to Reid‘s songwriting that sets her apart. Many of her songs are like snippets of conversations between close friends. There’s a wisdom and an almost timeless element to her songwriting that makes each song unique and profound,” Macphail said.
For this tour, Reid will be accompanied by her long-time collaborators Sam Taylor on guitar and Richie Packard on bass.
“These three have played together for 10 years now, and there is such a tight bond between them which creates the most beautiful unified backdrop to Nadia’s incredible vocals,” Macphail said.
