As famous for her hilarious on-stage banter as for her phenomenal voice - one of New Zealand’s best known and well loved songwriters joins forces with a relentless indie touring artist to perform 3 intimate shows in Canterbury this winter. Multi-award winning singer & songwriter Anika Moa joins Mel Parsons for shows in Christchurch on July 23, Methven on July 25 and Springfield on July 26.

Both artists starred in the Fly My Pretties 2013 Homeland Tour lineup; are currently working on new albums, and will be sharing songs new and old with fans. "I have just about finished making the new record, and this tour will give my fans the opportunity to hear some of my new work for the first time along with the hits." said Moa.

While Moa & Parsons are both currently Canterbury based, the relentless traveling nature of their jobs mean they relish the chance to perform in their home province. Recently visable on television tutoring inmates from Auckland Women's Prison in Songs From the Inside, Moa is currently touring in the North Island with X-factor finalist Benny Tipene, and is looking forward to getting back to her Canterbury roots. Moa’s highly successful children’s album Songs for Bubbas has just been announced as a finalist for APRA Childrens’ Song & Album of the Year Awards.

Two-time Tui Award finalist Parsons is taking a break from the road over winter to write her 3rd studio album, after 5 months of non-stop touring taking in shows in the USA, Australia & several festivals throughout NZ & Australia.
