Dunedin singer-songwriter Bronwyn Halley will play a farewell concert today, before embarking on her first tour of the country.
On her appropriately titled Wish Me Luck tour, the contemporary country artist will travel throughout the South Island, with the hope of moving on to the North Island and possibly overseas.
Ms Halley admits it is not your typical music tour.
‘‘I’m not taking a couple of weeks off work and rushing around the country,’’ she said.
‘‘I’ve quit my job so I can take my time trying to see all of the country, not just the big cities, and meet as many people as I can.
‘‘I want this to be my only career, not just a side thing, so that’s what I’m hoping this tour will do for me. I’ll travel indefinitely if I have to, there are worse things I could be doing.’’
Having never had a chance to truly promote her 2015 debut EP It’s About Time, Bronwyn is looking forward to sharing the music from it with anyone who will listen, as well as some more recent songs that she plans on recording and releasing later this year.
- Bronwyn’s final Dunedin show is Sunday March 12 at 2.30pm, at Forbury Raceway Bar. The show features local acts including Dave Coleclough, Bevan Gardiner and Kelvin Cummings.
