Aly Cook Performs in Wellington

Aly Cook Performs in Wellington

It's been a while since Aly Cook performed in Wellington. Last time was the Opera Bar in Courtney Place during the 90s in a band called DNE. Lots of water has passed under the bridge since then, as Aly embarked on a solo career. Brand New Day is Aly’s debut full length album, released on her own label Futures in Australia on WJO May 2011 and via ODE in New Zealand. her single “Midnight Sun” became an Australian Top 20 hit on the Australian Top 30 Country Track Chart, based on Airplay (spending 11 weeks and peaking at number #12). With her next single "Country Storm" set to release in July.

In the last twelve months, Aly performed in Australia at Tamworth, Blue Water, Port Pirie, Canberra & Urban Country Music Festivals as well as a short trip to perform Americana in the UK. Aly has also performed in NZ with the Coalrangers at the Wildfoods Festival, Tekapo Country Blues and Nelson Jazz and Blues Festivals. In late 2011 Aly was a finalist for Next Magazine’s New Zealand Woman of the Year and in May 2012 Aly traveled to Sydney to attend MusicOZ Awards at the Sydney Opera House as a finalist in the international section.

She has enjoyed a year of performance, airplay for her music on radio and video on Sky63 in New Zealand and CMC Country Music Channel in Australia.
