The incredible, award-winning Tami Neilson performs a collection of her favourites from Willie Nelson’s Songbook, while sharing stories of working with the man himself.
“When I met Willie for the first time, we hugged hello, then wandered over to his living room and sat me on the couch with my guitar, him on a chair across from me holding Trigger and rehearsed our duet “Beyond the Stars”, which we’d recorded together remotely during the pandemic. I gratefully gulped back the glass of water his wife Annie handed me and tried to still my trembling hands, hearing our voices join together for the first time in the same room. It was one of the most magical moments of my life.” – Tami Neilson
The feeling is mutual:
“Neilson sings the hell out of Nelson. Tami’s the real deal and does my songs a great honour,” says Willie Nelson.
Join us for an afternoon of incredible vocals, timeless country classics and original hits from the ‘fire-breathing r&b belter on her own terms’ (Rolling Stone) herself, the incomparable Tami Neilson. Taking to the Neudorf Vineyard garden stage with her full band, we anticipate you won’t stay seated for long but singing and dancing along to your heart’s content!
