To celebrate the return to Australia of her US-based muso cousin, Paul Colman, local singer-songwriter Nerida Cuddy is bringing their musical collaboration back to the stage at Rosnay Organic Wines Cellar Door.
Anyone who attended their last show, Folk vs Pop, in November 2024, will know just how entertaining the cousin connection can be. This time, the pair return with an extravaganza of Australian songs, preceded by a shorter set featuring music from the album Nerida and Paul recorded together.
The show will be fun and engaging, a mix of songs we all know along with originals from Nerida and Paul.
The evening will also celebrate the opening of an exhibition of Nerida’s photography — evocative images of the local landscape featured in her recent book, Companion.
The exhibition will be at the cellar door til July 29.
Paul was last in Canowindra to record and produce Nerida’s 6th album, In the Midst of the Dark. A Grammy-nominated entertainer who has performed in more than 50 countries, released 17 recordings and spent over 20 years based in Nashville, Paul brings a wealth of international experience and unmistakable stage presence.
Nerida’s music blends heartfelt storytelling with a deep sense of place. Drawing inspiration from life in regional communities and years of performing across Australia and in the UK, her performances combine intimate storytelling with uplifting communal moments, inviting audiences to laugh, sing and reflect together.
With Paul still living in the USA, this is a rare opportunity for the cousins to perform together in person and for local audiences to enjoy the reunion.
The concert and exhibition opening will be held on Friday, June 19 from 7pm at Rosnay Organic Wines Cellar Door. Tickets are $30 and available through Rosnay Organic Wines or at the door. The first drink is included, with snacks provided.
