Music News - The Winery Tour 2017
17 October 2016 - 0 Comments
Celebrating
its 10th anniversary, The Winery Tour will be returning in 2017 with an all
star line-up featuring two of New Zealand’s most successful artists of all time,
Brooke Fraser and Bic Runga, and exciting newcomer Benny Tipene.
The Winery Tour 2017 will present twelve shows around New Zealand, celebrating
the Kiwi summer in the best way possible, with outstanding music and great wine
in some of New Zealand’s most idyllic wineries and outdoor venues.
Brooke Fraser and Bic Runga have each won the APRA silver scroll for Song of
the Year, been awarded a total of 32 NZ music awards between them, and have
combined catalogue sales of more than 650,000 albums in NZ alone (a whopping 43
x platinum), including 21 top forty singles. Their songs are woven into the
very fabric of New Zealand life: Something in the Water, Sway, Better, Drive,Arithmetic, Something Good, Shadowfeet, Get Some Sleep, Deciphering Me and
many, many more.
Los Angeles-based Brooke Fraser will return home to headline the 2017 Tour,
following the release of her first career retrospective album A Sides, which
will include her upcoming single Therapy. “The Winery Tour is quite simply a
dream to play, there is no better way to tour New Zealand. I am looking forward
to getting home to play all the favourites from my career so far to the best
fans in the world” says Brooke.
Having played on the very first Winery Tour back in 2007, Bic Runga returns to
tour the vines once again. Bic will be celebrating her induction into the New
Zealand Music Hall of Fame (the youngest ever inductee) and her brand new albumClose Your Eyes (including the single of the same name), showcasing her
interpretations of some of music’s most classic songs. Bic adds “I’m excited to
rejoin the Winery Tour family, to hit the road again and to play all my songs
and some of my favourite covers in the most spectacular venues”.
Opening the show will be Winery Tour newcomer Benny Tipene, an exciting new
talent rapidly making a very big name for himself in NZ. Benny exploded onto
the airwaves with four hits from his debut album Bricks including the #1
platinum single Walking on Water and top ten gold single Lonely. Benny is
busy completing his second album in time for the Winery Tour, an album which will
include his brand new single Where Love Comes From.
“Touring all around New Zealand, playing amazing places, sharing the stage with
two musical icons – what a great way to spend summer!” says Benny.
Promoters Brent Eccles and Campbell Smith are delighted that The Winery Tour
has reached the ten year milestone: “We love the Winery Tour, it's simply the
best and most fun tour we produce” says Smith. “We can scarcely believe that we
have clocked up 139 shows over the past decade, most of them truly amazing
gigs, by great NZ artists in stunning NZ locations. We just want more of the
same and we know the fans do too. We couldn't think of a better bill to
celebrate this milestone, the 2017 Winery Tour is destined to be one of the
very best”.
