Toni Swain
Australian rhythm and blues diva Toni Swain is heading to Leigh Sawmill on Sunday August 7 from 5pm to 8pm as part of her third New Zealand tour.
Her new album, Deepest Water, reached number two on the Australian Blues and Roots Charts in February and has been featured on numerous radio stations and programmes, including the ABC. The Sydney Morning Herald likened her music to Bonnie Raitt and Shelby Lynne.
Toni will be touring with a four-piece band, playing seven shows, including the Bay of Islands Jazz and Blues Festival on August 14.
“This will be the first time we are bringing the keyboardist, so the shows will be full on fantastic,” Toni says.
She first toured NZ in February last year, promoting her debut album, The Red Shed, playing 25 shows in 20 days. The success of that tour and the positive response led Toni to return in February and now she is back again.
