Lecrae Announces Three Date New Zealand Tour This DecemberAs Part Of His Reconstruction World Tour
4x GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, author, actor and activist Lecrae has formally announced his headlining tour, 'Reconstruction World Tour,' on the heels of unveiling the release date for his tenth studio album, Reconstruction, due August 22nd. Part of a 42-date run, Lecrae will return to New Zealand for the first time in a decade bringing his Reconstruction World Tour to Aotearoa for three headline shows this December. Kicking off at the Auckland Town Hall on Friday 5 December, he will then play Wellington's Opera House on Saturday 6 December followed by James Hay Theatre in Christchurch on Sunday 7 December. Tickets will be available starting with an artist pre-sale beginning Wedesday, July 30 at 10am local time. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, August 1 at 10am local at Making his anticipated return to the stage, the tour will mark one-year since Lecrae's last outing in 2024 for 'The Final Church Clothes Tour!' The fan favorite is slated to perform songs from his decorated catalog, as well as music from his upcoming album Reconstruction. Beyond the music, Lecrae has fostered a direct relationship with his local community. Last Monday (July 21), the Grammy-winner held a back-to-school drive in the heart of Atlanta alongside nonprofit City Takers. With over 100+ people in attendance, both fans and residents alike joined Lecrae in assembling backpacks filled with essential school supplies for students across the city. As a special treat to fans, Lecrae revealed the features on Reconstruction with a one-of-a-kind mailer that went out to 1,000 of his most active supporters. Each mailer included a handwritten note from the Reach Records founder, and a QR code linking to The Workshop – an online community where fans can access early music, content, and engage to earn points for incentives. Continuing his mission of bringing Christ to the culture, he now gears up to make international headlines with his renewed stage presence, ultimately setting the tone for an unstoppable and intentional run. The announcement also heralds the arrival of Lecrae's forthcoming album Reconstruction – his first solo project since 2022's Church Clothes 4 LP. Tickets on sale Friday 1 August 10am NZST FRI 5 DEC Town Hall | Auckland SAT 6 DEC Opera House | Wellington SUN 7 DEC James Hay Theatre | Christchurch ABOUT LECRAE Multi Grammy-Award winning rap artist Lecrae has left an indelible mark in the world of music and entertainment. His music explores universal topics that bind, challenging industry norms with his faith-based rhyming style. He emerged in 2004 with the release of his debut album, Real Talk, and launched his own label, Reach Records. The perennial superstar has proved to not only be a gospel success, but he's also crossed over into hip-hop and used his platform to foster a global fanbase. He's remained consistent and staunch relevant throughout the 2000s, proven repeatedly with groundbreaking albums such as Rebel (2008), which made history as the first Christian hip-hop album to reach #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart; Gravity (2012), netting his first career Grammy; and Anomaly (2017), the first Christian rap album to go gold. The last song on Anomaly, titled 'Messengers' with for KING & COUNTRY, earned Lecrae his second Grammy win (for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song) at the 57th Grammy Awards. The LP also earned him his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. 2022 was highlighted by the arrival of Church Clothes 4, and the deluxe version, Church Clothes 4: Dry Clean Only, arrived in 2023 – thus symbolizing the end of Lecrae's popular mixtape series. In 2024, Lecrae started off the year by adding two more Grammys under his belt – one for his Church Clothes 4 project (Best Contemporary Christian Music Album) and the other for his 'Your Power' collaboration with Tasha Cobbs (Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song). Over the years, Lecrae has garnered many awards and accolades, including four Grammy wins, two chart-topping gospel albums, a gold and platinum certification, and countless honors. Beyond the music, Lecrae's prestige has grown considerably. He's a New York Times bestselling author, using writing and activism to inspire local communities. The latter is exemplified in his philanthropic work to help instill hope in incarcerated individuals and bring attention to mass incarceration. This has proven to be a recurring theme in Lecrae's previous partnerships with several nonprofit organizations such as Love Beyond Walls, Prison Fellowship and Send Musicians To Prison on similar initiatives. As a record executive, Lecrae has provided a pathway for artists who share his ethos such as Tedashii, Trip Lee, Andy Mineo, 1K Phew, WHATUPRG, Wande, Hulvey, and Limoblaze – all of whom are signed to his Reach Records imprint. Simultaneously, he remains a pillar of the culture at large, infiltrating the podcasting community with his show 'The Deep End With Lecrae.' Throughout his career, Lecrae continues to be a voice for positive change, and his work amplifies his impact.

Tami Neilson's Neon Cowgirl reviewed – her time to shine
Tami Neilson: In the driver's seat. Photo / Alexia King Stone. Graham Reid is an NZ journalist, author, broadcaster and arts educator. His website, Elsewhere, provides features and reports on music, film, travel and other cultural issues. Local hero makes a bid for international recognition. It appears 'world famous in New Zealand' Tami Neilson's time has come in that long-sought American market. She's touring with Willie Nelson following her duet with him on the poignant Beyond the Stars and her Neilson Sings Nelson tribute album. Neon Cowgirl – all Neilson originals or co-writes – punches home right from the orchestrated opener Foolish Heart with the cloud-piercing drama of Roy Orbison, an influence also discernible in One Less Heart. Salvation Mountain is the high-energy, boot-kickin' country-rock offspring of Chuck Berry's Too Much Monkey Business and Neilson's own breathless Big Boss Mama. Borrow My Boots is a rollicking banjo-fuelled country-rocker of female empowerment; Loneliness of Love is a piano ballad and You're Gonna Fall arrives out of the desert on twanging guitar as singer JD McPherson becomes the Lee Hazlewood to her Nancy Sinatra. Love Someone is stirring amped-up swamp-funk, Keep On is Southern Gothic storytelling with a soaring, soulful finale. The moving title track featuring co-writer Neil Finn plays to Neilson's reclaiming of women's contribution in country music and aspirations for herself and other women in the genre. It also refers to Nashville's neon cowboy near Ernest Tubb's record shop, her desire to also be up there in lights, and the cowboy that was above Kean's jean shop on Auckland's Queen Street. The latter appeared on the cover of the 1987 Neon Cowboy album by Al Hunter who – along with the Warratahs – made country popular before the 1990s stadium rock of Garth Brooks and 'hat acts', and Americana singer-songwriters before Taylor Swift. So Neon Cowgirl arrives as part of a personal and cultural continuum, and as Tami Neilson's impressive calling card to that American audience she deserves. This album is available digitally, on CD and on vinyl. Tour dates: Opera House, Wellington, October 3; Aotea Centre, Auckland, October 4; Isaac Theatre Royal, Christchurch, October 11; Theatre Royal, Nelson, October 12; Arts Festival, Tauranga, October 24.
