TAMI NEILSON

Americana Fest 2022

"It's appropriate that Neilson played the last slot Saturday night, closing out the festival, because Americanafest was a Tami Neilson concert with four days of really good opening acts."

- Concert Hopper

 

Tami Neilson’s latest album “Kingmaker”  boasts a duet with Willie Nelson on Beyond the Stars, a waltz full of tumbling guitars and sweeping strings with Neilson soaring effortlessly above. Strong-voiced 50s divas such as Patsy Cline – of whom Willie is reminded – remain a central strand of Neilson’s work ..

“The Kiwi queen remains an imperious talent.”  Neil Spencer, The Guardian
