Award winning singer-songwriter and former Fur Patrol front woman Julia Deans will join Project Prima Volta to perform at next month’s Botanic Beats at the Napier Botanical Gardens on Thursday 16 January.
The past decade has seen Julia transition from sassy rock chick to glorious songbird, including making her debut operatic performance as Lola in Festival Opera’s Cav + Pag.
Deans’ critically acclaimed solo albums Modern Fables (2010) and We Light Fire (2018) both earned nominations for the Taite Music Prize, the APRA Silver Scroll and the NZ Music Awards.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Fur Patrol’s much loved album Pet, featuring the now classic number one single Lydia.
