The world has recently conspired against Australian based New Zealander Kerryn Fields introducing her music to Aotearoa, with disasters as a backdrop.
Whakaari Island was erupting the hour Fields started recording fine 2020 album Water in rural Victoria, while closer by the bushfires raged. A long awaited return to New Zealand in 2021 met with a Covid-19 lockdown, and a recent appearance at Auckland Folk Festival in February was rather wet. The cyclone then saw off a planned Hawke’s Bay tour.
This time then - a national tour with fellow Australian-based New Zealander Matt Joe Gow begins in Wellington May 5 Tour details are on Field's homepage.
Water was a finalist in the Australian Folk Music Awards 2021, and Fields won a MLT Songwriting Award at the 2019 New Zealand Country Music Awards.
