Tami Neilson tours Europe with album 'Don't Be Afraid'

20-08-2017

Don't Be Afraid is the last release of Tami Neilson, the record she brings over to Europe at the this month.“It’s the most personal album I’ve ever written, and it is very daunting to put such a raw, exposed, vulnerable part of yourself out there,” remarks Tami Neilson. 

The album as nearly left unfinished. With two songs completed and six weeks left to write Tami Neilson unexpectedly lost her father, the patriarch of The Neilson Family band who Tami had toured across Canada with as a young girl opening for the likes of Johnny Cash. It was her mother and brother’s encouragement that she finish the record as a way of honoring her dad.

Don’t Be Afraid finds the soul taking precedence over the country as Tami found herself listening to a lot of gospel around the time of her father’s death and finding a kinship with the legendary singer Mavis Staples. It marks Tami as a new soul staple: it’s a raw, deep and hopeful album that finds Tami singing out her grief.
