Before the pain, the damage done

Thursday music corner: Toronto-born Tami Neilson emigrated to New Zealand in 2007, and now resides in Auckland, where she has built an award-winning musical career through her country and soul-influenced singer-songwriting. She has won eight New Zealand Music Awards since 2009, plus the 2014 APRA Silver Scroll for Walk (Back to Your Arms), co-written with her brother Joshua. Neilson has released seven albums, with 2022's Kingmaker being the most recent. It features a collaboration with octogenarian country legend Willie Nelson, Beyond the Stars, the cinematic, female-empowerment-anthem Baby, You're A Gun, and the newly-released album title track, Kingmaker.

Neilson is currently touring New Zealand, and shortly will appear at the Tønder Festival in Denmark to start a European summer tour that will also visit Paris and a Dutch music festival in Vlieland.
