Sonia and Nigel - book and CD release concert

Fairfield House, 48 Van Diemen Street, NELSON 7010

After two years of hard work behind the scenes on their bilingual French-English album + book project “Sweet Paname”, the Sonia & Nigel duo are delighted to bring their songs and stories on the road to the beautiful historic Fairfield House in Nelson, 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.

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. www.facebook.com/sonianigelmusic
