The shows, postponed from December due to Covid-19, remain a festive celebration of local music, artists and talent, against the backdrop of Reid’s spiritual home, Port Chalmers.

Now residing in Auckland, Reid has been working on her fourth album before embarking on a new chapter and heading overseas to perform and settle in the United Kingdom.

Her third album, Out of My Province, released on the cusp of the pandemic, was warmly received by critics.

Reid has completed three European tours with long-time collaborator Sam Taylor, performed several times in New York city and completed countless tours of New Zealand and Australia.

The line-up for the shows will include artist, producer, and current University of Otago Mozart Fellow Sean Donnelly — also known as SJD, United States-based folk musician Flora Knight and DJ Tina Turntables.

Tickets are available from nadiareid.com and UndertheRadar.
