THURSDAY OCTOBER 8, 2015 – Round Up by arrangement with Live Nation is thrilled to announce one of America’s finest singer-songwriters, LUCINDA WILLIAMS will head to New Zealand for one show only, playing Auckland’s Vector Arena on Friday December 4.
It’s been three years since the immensely talented Lucinda Williams graced our shores and we’re honoured to welcome the three-time Grammy Award winner back to New Zealand for a one-off intimate performance. Renowned for marrying rock, blues, country and soul, Lucinda heads our way, with stellar band in tow; including Wallflowers guitarist Stuart Mathis and her irreplaceable rhythm section, David Sutton on bass and Butch Norton on drums.

With a recording career spanning 12 albums and nearing four decades, Lucinda Williams is touring on the back of her brilliant 2014 double-album release, Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone, which was voted Album of the Year at the 14th Annual Americana Awards last month.
The album includes 20 new songs with all but two of the tracks written solely by 62-year-old Williams. From the very personal ‘Compassion’ penned by her poet father, Miller Williams and sung into being by Lucinda, to the closing, beautifully epic rendition of JJ Cale’s ‘Magnolia’; Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone is testament to Lucinda’s prowess.
Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone joins a distinguished discography including 1978 debut Ramblin’ on My Mind, 1988’s eponymous breakthrough, Lucinda Williams and 1998’s landmark Car Wheels On A Gravel Road.

Lucinda again demonstrated why she’s a music legend. She’s paid her dues and continues to contribute to her legendary status.
Spending the evening w Lu and her band was just amazing. Her voice, better than ever and the stories let us in to glimpse a view of a life very well lived. I could have stayed all night!
Warm, personable, and touching. Her voice is great, and the band is tight.
I've never been a huge fan but I do like her songs and LOVE her voice. I thought she showed so much class and humanity coming out showing the effects of a stroke a couple years back but she didn't let that bother her. I also loved that she told a bit of her life story as the more you understand someone's life experiences, the music seems easier to embrace. She was just awesome!!
The entire experience has stayed with the past few days. Lucinda’s story as told through her words, video, and music helped me to understand her life’s ups and downs and evolutions. The show was first rate but not for anyone looking for a rockin’ blast.
I love Lucinda but this wasn’t one of her better shows. She was a little under the weather, she told some good stories (but I was hoping to hear more music) and there appeared to be some “behind the scenes” discussions occurring front and center.
Easy parking..but very large...great crowd..people my age...great seat..great sound..superb musicians..lucinda sounded better than ever. I can relate as we are the same age..I've followed her from day 1..blessed to have seen her..
Lucinda’s voice sounded great. As powerful as ever. What a wonderful story teller ! The Big Band was awesome. Right in tune with Lucinda. So glad we were there !
Lucinda and her band were excellent this weekend! Hearing the stories behind the songs was so interesting and informative that songs that I've heard hundreds of times before suddenly meant something entirely new to me. Seeing the home movies and photographs made it all that much more poignant. We're seeing Bob Dylan later this week and I have to say that Bob has some big shoes to fill after Lucinda's show! ;)
It was my first trip to the Egg. It is a great venue. Not a bad seat in the place. The acoustics are amazing. While she is still unable to play the guitar due to the stroke, her voice is strong and she really delivered a great performance. The stories she told between songs really illuminated the meanings behind the songs and I learned quite a few things about songs or hers that I had listened to many times and that gave me a new understanding of them for the next time(s) I hear them.
Her voice is still great,backing band tight. LW is brave to perform despite her stroke,and didn't disappoint. The Egg was the perfect venue for her, and amazing sound as always.
Lucinda Williams is the best. Despite her stroke she put on a great show. Telling her life story and playing her songs as well as a few covers. Photos and home movies shown on the screen. Her backup band, Buick 6 , were brilliant.
I wasn’t informed ahead of time that there was an obstructed view
I had orchestra seats, that were terrific! Lucinda was fabulous as always!! My only problem were the amount of people walking back and forth for drinks, snacks, bathroom and late comers. Other that that the staff was great! It was a great night!!
I liked the format of the show and found out that she really can sing.
I’ve been to many of Lucinda Williams’s shows over the last 20 years - whenever she’s been in NY. This show at the Beacon was the best! She combined storytelling, video, and music to great effect. She was very open and connected with the audience who gave her so much love and appreciation. Never knew she was such a raconteur! She sang with all her heart for 2.5 hours without a break! What a great artist she is — what a prolific singer / songwriter. Love you Lucinda! May you keep writing and singing and going strong!
I saw Lucinda before she had her stroke, and I wanted to support her after. Sad to see her assisted on stage and not able to play guitar- yet. The evening was full of her life’s stories with pics accompanied by her songs. An interesting look at her upbringing and rise to stardom. Hope she’s still with her Minnesota man. I wish her the best of luck rehabilitating and I’ll see her again in the future.
Lu's voice is better than ever! Buick 6 is still awesome! And so glad Doug returned. Love Lu's outlook and that she WILL play guitar again. I look forward to that. So lucky to know Lu and her music!
Lucinda Williams' concert was nothing short of a story-telling masterpiece. From the moment she stepped onto the stage, it was clear that the audience was in for a night of pure magic. Her raspy, soulful voice filled the venue with a sense of nostalgia and emotion that left everyone in awe. Williams' setlist was a perfect mix of her classic hits and some newer songs, all delivered with the kind of passion and authenticity that only she can provide. "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road"and "Drunken Angel"had the crowd on their feet. It was evident that Williams poured her heart and soul into every note she sang. The band backing her was exceptionally talented, adding a rich layer of instrumentals that enhanced the overall experience. Williams' connection with her audience was remarkable; her anecdotes and stories between songs made everyone feel like they were sharing a personal moment with her. What truly set this concert apart was the way it resonated with the audience. The emotional depth of her lyrics and the raw, genuine delivery of her music left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. It was a night of camaraderie and shared love for Lucinda's artistry. Lucinda Williams' concert was a testament to the power of live music to move the soul. It was a night of pure joy, celebrating the incredible talent of a singer-songwriter who has the ability to touch the deepest parts of our hearts. If you have the chance to see Lucinda Williams live, do not miss it – it's an experience you'll treasure forever.
A mix of stories from her life and songs they inspired... A truly memorable show... I've seen Lucinda many times and this was Ms. Williams at her best...
