MUSIC<br />
Auckland-based singer songwriter, Nadia Reid,<br />
describes her music style as, “new folk”. Armed<br />
with an acoustic guitar and a bevy of her own<br />
songs, with a voice as big as Texas, <strong>the</strong> 21 year old<br />
musician has been forging a low-flying pathway in<br />
music and live performance alongside her unique<br />
brand of understated charm for a number of years.<br />
Her music has been defined as formed and crafted<br />
with a weight that belies her young age. She<br />
defines <strong>the</strong> song as <strong>the</strong> easy part. “To make <strong>the</strong>m<br />
live you have <strong>to</strong> give <strong>the</strong>m out, send or carry <strong>the</strong>m<br />
in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> world. That’s <strong>the</strong> hard work, and that’s<br />
w<strong>here</strong> you find a writer’s gift, <strong>the</strong>ir true worth.”<br />
Nadia has appeared alongside renowned<br />
national and international artists, but retains<br />
her integrity as an emerging soloist with a<br />
distinct voice. Her debut EP, Letters I Wrote<br />
and Never Sent, was released in 2011.<br />
Having played <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r for over a decade, <strong>the</strong><br />
in<strong>here</strong>nt understanding between <strong>the</strong> NZTrio<br />
musicians produces a sublime performance<br />
at every turn. Café is delectable lunchtime<br />
fare of fast, slow, light-hearted and joyful<br />
pieces of irresistible entertainment.<br />
From Debussy ’s dreamy, gentle trio <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
startling, yet tender and beautiful Gareth<br />
Farr 1988 piece, Ahi (Fire), <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> whoopee<br />
ragtime and wonderful sense of humour in Paul<br />
Schoenfield’s 1986 Café Music, NZTrio reflect<br />
<strong>the</strong> incredible adaptability of <strong>the</strong>se musicians.<br />
Injecting one of music’s most versatile genres<br />
with <strong>the</strong>ir own particular sense of vitality and<br />
passion <strong>the</strong> trio engage with audiences from all<br />
walks of life both nationally and internationally.<br />
