With her first NZ headline shows getting close to selling out already and following her blistering performance at Big Day Out last weekend, Gin Wigmore is adding an extra show to her Holy Smoke tour at the Bruce Mason Centre in Auckland on February 17th.
It’s all ages so bring the whole family!
Supported by Kidz in Space, Gin’s show with her band will pack in all the hits from Holy Smoke (still at #4 in the NZ album charts after 13 weeks!) and Extended Play including Under My Skin, Oh My, I Do and forthcoming single Hey Ho.
Gin heads to the USA this week to film videos for Hey Ho and Too Late for Lovers in Los Angeles and will be relocating there for several months following her NZ shows so don’t miss this last chance to catch her before she goes.
The past year has seen Gin in some rather amazing situations. She got to record her first album ‘Holy Smoke’ at the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles with mega producer Mike Elizondo at the helm. She got the legendary Cardinals not just to play on her album but also to play shows with her in NZ and Australia.
She got to support her musical hero David Gray at his Australian shows and is currently on the road in New Zealand as special guest for another of her long-time musical inspirations, Dave Dobbyn. Her song ‘Under My Skin’ became Air New Zealand’s new theme tune and a massive hit on You Tube (over 4m views!) and her collaboration with Smashproof ‘Brother’ spent a record-breaking 12 weeks at #1 in the NZ singles chart.
‘Holy Smoke’ entered the NZ charts at #1 and was double platinum within two months, spending 9 weeks in the NZ top five by Christmas. . Her singles ‘Oh My’ and ‘I Do’ also both spent the Christmas week in the top 20.
In March Gin will head to the USA for several months to support the release of ‘Holy Smoke’ but before she goes, there’s something she wants to do…
“I’m dying to come home and spend some summer days singing for my fellow Kiwi’s. About bloody time I say! The support over the last year for my music from so many New Zealanders out there has been an absolute mind blow for me. It feels like the family are proud, and that my dears is all I could ever ask for. So get your dancing shoes on and your hand claps ready to sing the night away with me in Feb, for what I promise will be a ridiculously awesome night out!”
