Canadian-born, New Zealand-based vocalist Tami Neilson is a firecracker. Her music cannot be singularly categorized for she channels the spirits of Patsy Cline and Sharon Jones and beyond. She's an artist with a tremendous range: there is her powerful big-ballad voice, her golden-age of country Americana, the heartfelt Gospel, soul-infused R'n'B, Western swing or belting old style Rock 'n' roll. Tami encompasses them all and is a personality-powered cyclonic force of nature in stylishly retro attire, long lashes and a stacked-high beehive. The UK's Guardian has asserted that “her powerhouse voice recalls 1950s stars such as Wanda Jackson and Patsy Cline.”
