The 42nd annual Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards presented by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand and held last night in Auckland, NZ awarded Tim Finn “Best Male Solo Artistâ€. Founding member of the band Split Enz and former member of Crowded House, Tim Finn has spent the past year touring worldwide in support of his critically-acclaimed solo release IMAGINARY KINGDOM (EMI/Manhattan).
His 7th solo career release, IMAGINARY KINGDOM garnered much critical praise while his single “Couldn’t Be Done†topped radio charts and led to sold-out performances in Los Angeles and New York. Called “one of the great underappreciated pop singers of our time†by the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Finn has announced a second leg of U.S. dates — a rarity for this extraordinary artist. Dates are below:
