May is New Zealand Music Month, the theme for this year ‘Amplifying Aotearoa’, aiming to shine a light on those who are the heartbeat of the nation’s music scene. 

One of the artists being highlighted is Tami Neilson, a country and soul singer-songwriter. 

She’s fresh off a plane from Nashville where she paid tribute to Patsy Cline on the sacred stage of the Rhyman, rewarded with a standing ovation from the audience. 

Neilson told Kerre Woodham that it was so overwhelming and unexpected. 

“I still haven’t really processed it.” 

Despite the accolades, making a living as a musician is no easy feat, most artists waiting by the phone until they can snatch up a gig. 

“This business is, is not for the faint of heart.”
