One of the most popular New Zealand folk artists of the last two decades, multi award-winning songwriter Bob McNeill brings his latest album TWELVE DREAMS OF THE RIVER to a series of intimate solo shows around New Zealand in November & December 2026.   

Recorded in Wellington and with its stories driven by years of playing music in New Zealand's high country, TWELVE DREAMS OF THE RIVER explores themes of life, age and transition, re-imagined as a trip down three iconic rivers - the Manuherikia in the South Island, the Waikato in the North Island, and the Kelvin in McNeill's native Scotland. Poignant, celebratory and unflinching, with McNeill playing all the instruments himself, and mostly composed of first takes, it's McNeill's most intimate work to date, with some of his most beautiful songs.

On tour, he brings the songs to life on acoustic, electric and Spanish guitars in some of New Zealand’s loveliest halls.
