Be mesmerized by the deeply penetrating and achingly powerful vocals of New Zealand songstress Hollie Smith in an evening of sensational soul music from the Kiwi Soul Sister herself. Known to possess a deeply felt emotion in her songs and performances, Hollie boasts several accolades including the chart topping 2006 single Bathe In The River.

This led her to release her first indie album Long Player that sold to almost a double platinum in New Zealand. Other acclaimed awards include Best Female Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Best Producer and Best Aotearoa Roots Album at the 2007 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.

‘Hollie Smith’s “soul” purpose in life must surely be to use her gift of an unnaturally beautiful voice to charm the masses.’ -The Press
