Rennie-Hynes will be crossing the Tasman in June of 2015 for his second
full-length solo tour of New Zealand. See details listed below.
Rennie-Hynes is a rising Australian artist in the Americana and Folk genres,
with strong New Zealand family connections.
Support acts include a selection of local New Zealand artists including Will
Wood, Reb Fountain and Clara Van Wel.
Rennie-Hynes released his debut album February in July 2014 to acclaim and national radio coverage. February was produced
by ARIA award winning Australian artist and producer Shane Nicholson. February is
distributed by MGM.
Rennie-Hynes toured his album across New Zealand in late 2014. He returns to share
more songs and be inspired by the New Zealand winter.
Rennie-Hynes says, “I love New Zealand as a country. Visually, It’s just
a stunning place to tour. I played some great rooms with audiences who
really listened. Why winter? I love the cold and I love the snow"
During the 2014 tour Rennie-Hynes penned a song called Land of Clouds. He
explains, "I was driving somewhere on the highway between Auckland and
Napier, I'd played the last show of the tour the night before and I was
reflecting on not just the shows, but the entire experience. Suddenly, this
song and melody popped into my head. I pulled the car over by the side of a
river and typed the lyrics out into my phone in ten minutes. It's a new
favourite of mine and I think it'll make the cut on my next record".
Since the release of February,
Rennie-Hynes has consistently toured across regional and urban Australia and
New Zealand. He has played on a variety of festival and venue stages as special
guest and headline act. Most recent tours were alongside Liam Gerner including
an appearance as support for Paolo Nutini, and Caitlin Harnett.
Rennie-Hynes has seen his reputation as a profound performer and songwriter
continue to grow in line with his fan base.
