On the North York Moors

Nadia Reid

Sat 26 October 2024 - 7.30pm

!SOLD OUT! New Zealand singer-songwriter sensation Nadia Reid plays the North York Moors venue known as 'the greatest small venue on Earth' as part of a series of intimate solo shows in some of the UK's most magical venues. Known for her evocative lyrics and introspective folk-infused soundscapes she has been described as ‘an understated, wise guide through uncertain territory’. Listen out for compelling new music and file next to Joni Mitchell, Laura Marling, Gillian Welch and Sandy Denny.
 
Three albums - all of which featured in Best of Year awards - into an increasingly stellar career, Reid is no longer one of New Zealand's best kept secrets. Her last album, Out of My Province, took her to Matthew E White's Spacebomb Studios in Richmond, Virginia, where producer Trey Pollard surrounded her songs in luminous washes of southern country soul.
 
The Times reckoned it recalled "the airy jazzy mood and evocative yet oblique lyrical approach of Hejira-era Joni Mitchell."
 
While Uncut opined: "Her singing falls somewhere between the lithe grace of Sharon Van Etten and the power and drama of North Star Grassman-era Sandy Denny"
 
Solo she has the grace and style of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval. With a band she sounds like she's playing country rock with Teenage Fanclub.
 
Reid has been snowed under with plaudits for all three of her albums to date.
 
They include:
 
"One of the year's landmark releases" **** MOJO
 
"Continues Reid's graceful trajectory" Uncut 8/10
 
"Pretty much off the scale" Line of Best Fit 8/10
 
"Simply breathtaking" ***** Record Collector
 
"Inspired debut by a young New Zealand singer-songwriter you’ll feel you’ve known forever.” **** MOJO

“The self assurance of Reid’s voice, artfully underpinned by the lyrics, announces an artist wise beyond her years.” Sunday Times

“For a new artist, her confident grace is all the more remarkable” Pitchfork

“When I hear a young artist making an album as soulful and rich and self-possessed as ‘Listen To Formation, Look For The Signs’, I feel so thrilled not only for the existence of that record but for all the music they will make over all the years to come”. The Guardian

“Nadia Reid paints a picture wise beyond her years” Line of Best Fit
