The Topp Twins - Hoe Down

With the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, Marian Burns, Tami Neilson and introducing Cameron Luxton.

New Zealand's cream of contemporary alt-country and bluegrass artists will be playing amongst the vines this summer when the Topp Twins and special guests appear at boutique wineries in January and February 2011.

Last year's Topp Twins Winery Tour with Don McGlashan was a sell-out and reminded audiences that while they may be better known as their comedy characters, the twins are also "seriously good singer-songwriters" (Edinburgh Herald). This summer we are extending the tour and bringing the best of NZ country-roots flavoured music to 14 regions around NZ.

Country music is now officially hip, according to the recent national press, but of course Lynda and Jools have known this for years. Unashamedly proud of their country roots, the twins have decided to have a party and asked some of their favourite artists to perform with them for what promises to be the hoe-down of the year.

The Topp Twins are thrilled to be performing with the legendary Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, fiddler extraordinaire Marian Burns, Best Female Artist 2010 Country Music Awards, Tami Neilson and young rising star, perhaps our next Keith Urban, Cameron Luxton.

Favorite Topp Twins' characters will make an appearance of course, as it wouldn't be a Topp Twins show without them. But audiences will get to hear the Topps like you haven't heard them before. This will be the summer concert of fun even non-country-music lovers will love.

The Topp Twins have announced that they will be offering a special ticket giveaway to reward local Canterbury volunteers for their extraordinary efforts during the Christchurch earthquake. Jools and Lynda have been touched by the community spirit of those who have lent a helping hand. For more information and to make a nomination please check out www.topptwins.com
