Taking the time with Tami Neilson - a podcast by Ria Hall

That voice - instantly hooks you and stirs a part of your soul that you didn't even know you had. This Canadian born and bred diva has all the charisma and crack ups one could muster. This lady is a bonafide star. I'm talking about the honky tonk Aotearoa first lady of Country, Americana and Soul - Tami Neilson. APRA Silver Scroll winner, NZ Country Music Alumni are among her accolades, with her albums and tours having met rave reviews across the world. She was about to embark on a once in lifetime moment performing at Willie Nelson's ranch at an exclusive festival in America in March this year until bam! Covid hit and changed everything. 

Born into music, we talk about her upbringing in the family band, finding love in Aotearoa, raising her boys and learning to find value in this unprecedented time after the gigs have gone.
