Anika And Barnaby Welcome Spring!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRIDAY 22nd JULY 2011

Anika And Barnaby Welcome Spring!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls ¬ jump outta the winter blues this spring when Anika Moa and Barnaby Weir strap on their guitars, strumming and humming through your town this September and October on their first accoustic tour together.

Bouncing like new born lambs through daffodils Anika and Barnaby take their mischevious, but light hearted show through vineyards, halls, theatres, cellars and cinemas of New Zealand collaborating on new, familiar, and sometimes surprising material. Anika will be releasing a CD of NZ artists covering songs from her recent Gold Album, Love In Motion. Artists include Street Chant, Julia Deans & Cairo Knife Fight, to name a few. Barnaby, while not only making a name for himself in The Black Seeds also released his debut solo album Tarot Card Rock earlier this year which met with acclaim for his foray into Americana.

The first time these artists have collaborated on a tour it promises to be a soundtrack for spring. All venues have been handpicked by both artists and are modestly sized for that Œintimate¹ experience.

This tour is proudly brought to you with the assistance of grabaseat, Mazda, More FM and the generous folk at Jands supplying the Soundcraft Si Digital desk.
