Sonia and Nigel

We're very excited to come play at the Katikati Folk Club on Friday May 16th!! Tickets are available at https://www.theartsjunction.org.nz/event-details/sonia-nigel Please let your friends and family in the area know about our show 😊🎶❤️ Merci beaucoup et à très bientôt! "Sonia & Nigel weave French, Kiwi and American songs with their own original compositions and inspiration from around the world. Sonia & Nigel are a multi-cultural acoustic duo featuring French-American, Paris-born (and now Kiwi!) Sonia Wilson on vocals and ukulele and Kiwi-American virtuoso musician Nigel Gavin on seven-string acoustic guitar. After meeting and playing together for the first time during Sonia’s first visit to New Zealand on a solo round-the-world trip in December 2014, the pair have since become a well-loved duo in the New Zealand music scene. They weave French, Kiwi and American songs with their own original compositions and inspiration from their travels around the world – sharing songs as a vehicle for peace, joy, healing and community building. Sonia is also the niece of late country folk singer and songwriter Martha Louise, whose posthumous album Goin' Home won the Aotearoa New Zealand Folk Alliance Best Folk Album for 2024. The duo will be performing a couple of Martha's original songs in celebration of this win and in remembrance of Martha. After their visits to the Katikati Folk Club with the Unsung Heroes and Gitbox Rebellion bands, Sonia & Nigel are looking forward to seeing you all again soon!"
