She has gained recognition for her powerful vocals and captivating performances. As the daughter of renowned musician Ron Neilson, Tami was exposed to music from an early age, which greatly influenced her own musical journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a unique blend of country, blues, and soul, Tami's music resonates with audiences around the world. Her songs are filled with emotion and storytelling, drawing inspiration from personal experiences and universal themes.

Whether performing solo or collaborating with other talented musicians, Tami continues to captivate listeners with her soulful sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kingmaker","title":"Kingmaker","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom being cradled as a baby in the arms of Roy Orbison, to performing a duet with Willie Nelson, you would think that Tami Neilson lived a country music fantasy life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, in between these monumental occurrences, The Neilson Family Band were having to busk in the streets to put food on the table, performing gospel concerts to prisoners, and roaring down the road in an exploding RV to open for Johnny Cash, which Tami managed to do, at 18, in her pyjamas. And then Tami left to start her own family on the other side of the world in New Zealand, where she now resides. Her busking chops took her to the streets of Auckland looking for her big break. From open mic nights to clubs, to headlining theatres and major festivals, Tami has now won almost every NZ music award possible. 2022 now brings Tami's 5th album, \u003ci\u003eKingmaker\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios, \u003ci\u003eKingmaker\u003c\/i\u003e was born of the pandemic. A moment when women were struggling. Disproportionately affected by furlough: a 'she- cession,' analysts termed it. Women put their dreams and careers on hold to care for their families. The songs of \u003ci\u003eKingmaker\u003c\/i\u003e question gender roles and expectations of women in society. She shines a line on the misogyny that pervades the music industry. She sings of the underestimation of women, of their strength, power, and resilience in the face of structural and cultural barriers to their full participation in society. Tami's story is at the centre of this feminist tapestry: from singing with Kitty Wells at the age of 10, slipping demo tapes into the laundry bags of stars to now singing with Willie Nelson on \u003ci\u003eKingmaker\u003c\/i\u003e -- from humble beginnings to success, on her own terms.

She can hush a room with an original song that channels the hurting spirit of Patsy Cline or the sensuality of Peggy Lee, or bring the audience to its feet on a rockabilly raver. She's an artist with real range, whose powerful voice can take on big ballads, golden-age country, heartfelt Gospel, soul-infused R\u0026amp;B, Western swing, even old-style rock 'n' roll. Tami encompasses them all and is a personality-powered cyclonic force of nature in stylishly retro attire, long lashes and a stacked-high beehive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf her new album Tami explains, “I wanted to write an album of punchy little songs, popping firecrackers that, when stripped back to nothing but a guitar, percussion and two voices, would still go boom!”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“When you tour away from loved ones, it makes a world of difference to have part of your village with you on the road. Not to mention, nothing can come close to that special blend of blood harmonies and silent communication that only comes from being onstage with a person for over 30 years. Family has always been a huge part my music-writing, recording and creating with me - but I wanted family on this project and on the road with me again.” Tami's brother Jay flew to Auckland, New Zealand from Toronto to record Chickaboom!, a selection of new songs that have unmistakable sibling magic and harmonies. “I don’t think he quite understands what he’s gotten himself into but now the album’s coming out it’s a bit too late.
