Nadia Reid’s Christmas show, to be held on December 16, is 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 settling in the United Kingdom.
Her third album, Out of My Province, released on the cusp of the pandemic, was received hotly 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, including her recent collaboration with classical ensemble NZTrio.
"It has been my goal from the beginning to treat this annual event as a way to mark time, to bring together a hand-picked selection of my favourite musicians, people, winemakers, brewers and food,’’ Reid said.
A true community affair, a portion of the profit from the Christmas show will be donated to the Presbyterian Support food bank.
"It really is the highlight of my year," Reid said.
This year’s line-up for Nadia Reid’s Christmas show 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.
Nadia Reid will also perform, accompanied by her longtime collaborator guitarist Sam Taylor.
After uncertain times prevented last year’s show from going ahead, Reid is thrilled to be back at it for 2022, bringing a night of music, food and drink and festival community joy to the Port Chalmers Town Hall once again.
Tickets are available from nadiareid.com and UndertheRadar.
