FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Award Winning Duo Nick and Liesl Return to Queensland for More Festival Fun
This April/May NSW duo Nick and Liesl will be heading up the Coast for their
third Queensland festival in
less than 6 months. The Wintermoon festival in Mackay is the destination this
time and music lovers from
Byron Bay to Airlie Beach will have a chance to catch them at various stops
along the way (see full list of
dates for The Wintermoon Tour below).
Nick and Liesl formed while touring in Europe in early 2007 and first gained
recognition as a brilliant live act
performing at festivals throughout Australia and supporting big names such as
Kate Miller-Heidke and Kasey
Chambers and Shane Nicholson. After releasing their self-recorded debut EP Wyong
River last year, the
couple received several nominations and an award at the 2008 ABC Newcastle Music
Awards. With the EP's
release followed national airplay, more touring and an invitation to the music
industry showcase Popkomm in
Berlin later on this year. Their sound is a touching blend of male and female
vocals with the depth of folk
music and the optimism of pop.
The Wintermoon Tour will be Nick and Liesl's last string of shows before heading
back into the studio to
record a long-awaited debut album due for release later in the year. Unable to
stay away from the Queensland
festival scene for too long however, they will be back in August for a
performance at the Yeppoon Village Arts
Festival.
