Fountain to finish tour in Leigh this Labour Weekend

Award-winning singer-songwriter Reb Fountain will play the final date of her national tour at Leigh Sawmill Café on Sunday, October 27 at 8pm.

The tour comes on the back of a string of major successes for the Auckland artist, who won the 2018 Tui for Best Country Album/Artist for her Hopeful & Hopeless EP, the APRA Best Country Song 2018 award for the EP’s title track, and a nomination for Best Folk Album of 2018 for her album, Little Arrows.

Reb Fountain has performed and recorded with a host of NZ music royalty, including Neil Finn, Marlon Williams, Don McGlashan, The Warratahs, Tami Neilson, Julia Deans, The Eastern and Finn Andrews. She also starred in the recent Neil Young Live Rust album tribute concerts and The Others Way festivals.

Joining the “noir punk-folk” songwriter on stage in Leigh will be her live band, comprising Dave Khan, Earl Roberston and Karin Canzek, and Dunedin singer Anthonie Tonnin will be opening the R18 show.

Doors open at 7.30pm and the performances start at 8.30pm. Tickets cost $28, plus $3 booking fee, from tickettailor.com/events/banishedmusic/297519
