Award-winning duo 'Into the East' tour Jan/Feb 2015

For immediate release

AOTNZ 2015 programme opens with award winning duo, Into the East

Into the East’s Liv McBride and Graeme Woller were crowned 2014 National Country Music Duo of the Year and nominated for the 2014 Taite Music Prize as well as 2014 Best NZ Folk Album (for Fight from the Inside). Featuring gently finger picked guitar one minute, bouncing percussion the next, traversing between Country and Folk while detouring through Alternative and Soul, these spirited soulful Invercargill based musicians are now taking on Australasia.

“Think Fairpoint Convention taking Neil Young’s music apart and building something new with the bones of Sheryl Crow.” Ania Glowacz, NZ Musician

“McBride is the voice that races ahead excited, Woller is the anchor; he pulls back just a tad – together they find the perfect place to pitch and rest each song.” Simon Sweetman, Dominion Post

About Arts On Tour New Zealand
Arts On Tour New Zealand (AOTNZ) organises tours of outstanding New Zealand performers to rural and smaller centres in New Zealand. The trust receives funding from Creative New Zealand and liaises with local arts councils, repertory theatres and community groups to bring the best of musical and other talent to country districts. The AOTNZ programme is environmentally sustainable – artists travel in the distinctive AOTNZ bus to entertain their audiences, relieving rural dwellers the chore of clocking up kilometres to travel to the big towns for their culture. AOTNZ also thanks Interislander for support.
