Bic Runga Classic Hits Acoustic Church Tour

Bic Runga is one of just a handful of New Zealand musicians who have truly earned the title ‘iconic’. Her songs are etched into the country’s consciousness. This supremely talented writer, recording artist and performer will return to headline the 2011 Classic Hits Acoustic Church Tour this November & December.

Runga, who played the first Acoustic Church Tour in 2004, releases her fourth studio album, due out in mid November. Fans will get to hear not only the old favorites like Sway, Something Good, Get Some Sleep and Winning Arrow, but her brand new material, including her first single in five years – Hello, Hello -  in New Zealand’s most majestic Churches, Chapels and Cathedrals.













Now in its fourth year, The Classic Hits Acoustic Church Tour has expanded to 17 shows in 12 cities













Says co-promoter Brent Eccles “It's a pleasure as always to be working with Bic again, her first Church tour in 2004 was unforgettable and her voice and songs really suit the Church environment. I'm sure that this tour will be special.”









Bic will perform with the Mint Chicks’ Kody Nielsen (who also produced her forthcoming album) & Michael Logie on bass.
