Award-winning country artist Tami Neilson is on the road with her Kingmaker album tour, in association with Chamber Music NZ.

Neilson and her band will play at the Regent Theatre in Dunedin next Thursday.

Fuelled by the world-changing events of the past two years, the songs in Kingmaker expose and explode the patriarchal structures that pervade the music industry, family life and society as a whole — themes also explored in Neilson’s 2018 album Sassafrass!.

Toronto-born Neilson first performed alongside her parents and brothers in family band The Neilsons.

She left Canada in 2007 to live in New Zealand and start her own family, and has forged her own artistic path as a critically acclaimed and award-winning artist and songwriter.
