Nigel Parry – Singer / songwriter, acoustic folk
An award winning New Zealand singer/songwriter who has performed in several countries, on radio, and major folk festivals, Nigel weaves a unique journey from ancient to modern, heartbreaking to humorous. He calls his style ‘Soulful Folkiwi Music’.

Nigel Parry’s latest studio album:
Tales of Common Folk, Salt and Sweet Kisses. Featuring some of New Zealand’s finest folk musicians, the listener is taken on a reflective journey from the decline of Kiwi rural towns, through stories of Marlborough Sounds whalers, love and loss in olden times, even a Viking raid.

“I love Nigel's clear tenor voice, especially the pure high notes, and he chooses songs well to complement it. His repertoire included whaling songs, love songs, closed bank songs (you had to be there), bird songs, a song about ageing disgracefully… with a voice like that, telling jokes is almost superfluous! His set ended with a rousing encore … which had toes tapping and sent us all home on a high. Thanks Nigel for a lovely evening,” said Acoustic Routes Nelson.
Reviews from his previous studio album (2013) include; “ ‘Row Out to the Ship of Dreams’ is a real
mellow treat, and well worth your time.”
