Sonia and Nigel are a multi-cultural acoustic duo featuring French-American Paris-born Sonia Wilson on vocals & ukulele and Kiwi-American virtuoso musician Nigel Gavin on 7-string guitar. After meeting and playing together for the first time at the Whare Flat Folk festival in Dunedin 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 and beyond. They weave French, Kiwi and American songs with their own original compositions and inspiration from their travels around the world.
"A glorious mélange of traditional chanson (read, folk), some more folk pop and cabaret jazz. The sweet acoustic majesty of Nigel's 7-string Kauri guitar. Sonia's beautifully French persona and perfect tones. We are thus blessed." (Roger Bowie, www.muzic.nz)
