A Rock ’N’ Roll Review

Tami Neilson touring with her idol: Dinah Lee, The Up Doo’s

-

Wow, is this going to be a show and a half! Iconic music star Tami Neilson is joining forces with one of New Zealand’s most celebrated artists of all time, Dinah Lee, for a four-city tour this October.

Tami’s Rock’n’Roll Revue features iconic music star Tami Neilson and her special guests, the hall of famer, Dinah Lee, together with the Hot Rockin Band of Rhythm and a starstudde­d girl group The Up Doo’s

The tour represents a once-ina-life-time opportunit­y to see the original and the latest Mod Girls together on one stage.

From her tour bus somewhere in the US, Tami can barely contain her excitement of linking up with the legendary kiwi artist.

“I’ve been dreaming of singing with Dinah forever, I’m such a fan,” says Tami.

For multi-award winning artist Tami, the October tour brings her home to New Zealand after months on the road in the States, performing at illustriou­s outdoor festivals and legendary venues including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium with Crowded House.

This follows the extraordin­ary 2022 release of Kingmaker which included the single Beyond the Stars, a duet with country music legend Willie Nelson.

Dinah Lee became a household name in the 60s with her hit songs Do The Blue Beat, Don’t You Know Yockomo and Reet Petite achieving No.1 status in New Zealand and Australia and earning her the title of Entertaine­r of The Year.

She set fashion trends in the 60s and 70s and captured the eye of American television producers, appearing on the pop show Shindig twice. Her performanc­e so impressed Glen Campbell that he requested they perform a duet together on the show.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we’re giving you the chance to win a signed Tami Neilson photo – the ideal precursor to an unforgetta­ble night or a great memento to supplement the memories you’ll make once you’ve attended the show. A win/win situation all round!
