New Zealand Tour Announced |
From NZ Herald:
Having sold more than 50,000 copies in eight
weeks since she released her second album Albertine,
Australian-based Brooke Fraser is returning to New Zealand for a
long-awaited national tour in April.
Fraser will be accompanied on her eight-date tour by many of the Los Angeles musicians who helped her record the album which followed her seven-times platinum (75,000) debut What to Do with Daylight. She starts at the Dunedin Town Hall - maybe they should rename it the Albertine Hall for the night? - on Friday April 13 before winding up in Auckland with two dates at Takapuna's Bruce Mason Centre on Saturday April 21 and Sunday April 22. Tickets go on sale Friday February 16 from Ticketek and TicketDirect. |

| Team members for album #2 |
Marshall (producer) has worked with lots of artists, including one of Jay Z's favourite artists, a white soul guy called Marc Broussard. Marshall has been an engineer, a signed artist AND up until a few months ago was an A&R guy with Columbia as well as producing records. Joe Zook (engineer/mixer) has a website (joezook.net) where you can see his credentials... he really is extraordinary, and this album already supercedes the last one by heaps on sounds alone. Rufus Wainwright, Jewel, Counting Crows, Liz Phair, the Googoo Dolls, Pink, Modest Mouse are amongst his credits. KRISTOPHER POOLEY (organs, things with keys) - Jane's Addiction, Gwen Stefani, Liz Phair, currently MDing for Nick Lachey (ha!), and also plays on lots of worship stuff (vineyard).
