This year's annual Church Tour is off to a rollicking start and now, due to popular demand, a second Auckland concert has been announced! Delaney, Tami, Barry and Marlon will treat Auckland audiences to a slightly more intimate evening at St Mary's at the Holy Trinity Cathedral (Parnell) on Sunday 4th October.
The Church Tour: The Lost Highway begins Napier on Thursday 1st October and travels throughout the country for back to back shows in some of New Zealand's most iconic churches.
In recent news it has been announced that there will be a documentary made about the uprising of country music in New Zealand. Prime Rocks: The New Sound Of Country is a NZ On Air funded hour-long music documentary shining a light on this year's extraordinary line up; artists Barry Saunders, Delaney Davidson, Marlon Williams and Tami Neilson. One astute veteran and three of the hottest emerging acts in New Zealand right now embarking on one of the most high profile tour brands: The Church Tour.
And in even more recent news, one of the Church Tour stars Marlon Williams has just been announced as a 2015 finalist for the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll Award for his beautiful songDark Child (something that each of his Church Tour band mates have previously enjoyed!)
The Church Tour shows will run in two halves. Each artist will perform a set on their own, two artists per half, each backed by a multi-instrumentalist “house band” made up of Dave Khan, Ben Woolley and Joe McCallum.
Tickets for St Mary's at the Holy Trinity Cathedral show on Sunday 4th October go on sale at 12pm Tuesday 1st September from Ticketmaster.
Now in its seventh continuous year, The Church Tour in 2015 now plays 9 shows in 6 cities between the 1stand 10th of October. It's a one in a million line up and a tour you'd be absolutely crazy to miss!
