Courtney Barnett
Courtney Barnett is returning to New Zealand once again to perform three shows around the country.
The quirky Australian singer-songwriter is set to play to fans at Bodega in Wellington, November 5, the St James Theatre in Auckland, November 6 and Foundry in Christchurch, November 7.
Barnett was last in the country for Auckland's Lane Way festival and shortly after released her debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit.
Rolling Stone said that "Courtney Barnett makes it sound so insultingly easy - why aren't there three or four rock & roll singer-songwriter records this loose and frisky and funny and stout-hearted every year? Maybe it's not that easy."
