DESCRIPTION After spending half a year on a coast-to-coast tour of North America with her young family in a 40-foot motorhome, Tami returned to New Zealand to record a collection of songs inspired by her pilgrimage. This lovelorn letter written on 4 wheels over blacktop became Neon Cowgirl. From the barn-burner “Borrow My Boots”- a celebration of sisterhood written and performed with Ashley McBryde and Shelly Fairchild featuring guitar-prodigy Grace Bowers- to the dreamy duet of the title track featuring Neil Finn, Tami brings some excellent company to her upcoming 2025 release.

Tami will be touring Neon Cowgirl in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America, where she will join the 10th Anniversary Outlaw Music Festival tour alongside Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan in Summer 2025. For my brother, my best friend since birth, my musical collaborator, the other half of my brain- Jay Neilson. I recorded this for you, while you were sleeping.
