Sonia and Nigel + Anna Feillet

Knoxville House Concert, INVERCARGILL

Knoxville House Concerts Presents...

Sonia and Nigel + Anna Feillet!

After two years of hard work behind the scenes on their album + book project “Sweet Paname”, the Sonia & Nigel duo are delighted to bring their songs and stories on the road to Invercargill's Knoxville House Concert series as part of their national NZ tour. They will be starting their musical journey with a first leg in the South of the South (all the way to Stewart Island!) in January 2023. They are joined in song by 15 year old award-winning Kiwi/French singer-songwriter Anna Feillet.

Sonia and Nigel are a multi-cultural acoustic duo featuring French-American Parisienne Sonia Wilson on vocals and ukulele & Kiwi-American musician and composer 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 folk music scene. They weave French, Kiwi and American songs in with their own original compositions and inspiration from their travels around the world.
