2021 award winner plays in Katikati
Reb Fountain and her multi-talented sidekick Dave Khan are swapping the bright lights of Auckland and coming to Katikati for an intimate concert at the Arts Centre on Sunday 11th July.
With her roots in folk, Reb’s sound has evolved to be a bit Patti Smith, a bit Nick Cave, and a whole lot contemporary New Zealand powerhouse. Powerful songwriting and a voice that will haunt you long after the session is over. The Aucklandbased artist’s fourth full-length album won the prestigious 2021 Taite Music Prize for her 2020 self-titled album ahead of some of New Zealand’s skilled musicians including Tami Neilson, The Beths, Nadia Reid, L.A.B, and last year’s winner Troy Kingi. Besides the 2021 Taite Music Prize, Reb has also won the Tui Award for Best Country Album/Artist 2018 for her EP Hopeful & Hopeless, APRA Best Country Song 2018 for the title track Hopeful & Hopeless and her album Little Arrows was nominated for Best Folk Album of 2018.
And Dave Khan is looking forward to returning to the Katikati Folk Club. Multi-instrumentalist and very talented Dave has played alongside Tim Finn, Marlon Williams, The Bads, Tami Neilson, Delaney Davidson, Gin Wigmore, and Don McGlashan. Take note of the date: Sunday, July 11th. Door sales only and seats are limited to 100, so it’s recommended that you arrive early. The doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7.30pm. There’s free tea, coffee and biscuits plus a cash beer and wine bar. Further information from www.katikatifolkclub.co.nz
