Tami Neilson and her band, along with special guest, Jay Neilson, today announce three very special concerts Neilson Sings Nelson in honor of her friend and music legend Willie Nelson.
Tami will perform her favorites from Willie’s songbook including his mega hits Always on My Mind and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain as well as I Never Cared For You, Sister’s Coming Home, and their hit duet Beyond the Stars. Tami will also perform a selection of her own classics, as well as share stories of what it’s been like working alongside one of the world’s greatest music icons.
“Hey NZ Fam! I’m coming in hot off my USA tour with my brother Jay to celebrate the release of my new album Neilson Sings Nelson and play it for you live in Oct ???? The only place we’ve performed this show is at Willie Nelson’s ranch in Texas, so, I’m bringing it home just for you, performing some of my favourite songs from Willie’s songbook. We might even have a few stories from the ranch to share. So, braid your hair, tie your bandana and ROLL UP to the show! I promise you we’ll have ourselves a HIGH TIME!????????????”
A six-time winner of Country Music Album/Artist Awards, four-time Country Music Song Awards, Best Solo Artist and Best Producer for Kingmaker, and an APRA Silver Scroll Award, Tami’s Neilson Sings Nelson Tour promises a magical evening for fans of the two music legends. It kicks off on 11 October at the Wellington Opera House, then moves to the Auckland Town Hall on 18 October then finally, the Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch on 19 October. Tickets on sale today at 9am via Ticketmaster and Ticketek.
The Neilson Sings Nelson Tour coincides with the release of Tami’s new album of the same title, recorded at Willie’s Pedernales Studio, Texas, and featuring her brothers Jay and Todd on backing vocals, guitar, bass and drums. The recording came after she and Willie became long distance friends during Covid and recorded – remotely – the hit song she'd written with Delaney Davidson, Beyond the Stars.
In addition to this, Tami Neilson's new single I Never Cared For You is out today on all major streaming platforms. Listen here.
