Rikki Morris

Transcript

We were very fortunate to have one of the great all-rounders of the NZ music industry, Rikki Morris – performer, songwriter, sound recordist and engineer, producer and mentor – come into the studio to talk about his hugely varied and interesting roles.

There was a leading focus on his immediate weeks ahead as a performer, which includes a one-off reunion concert with the legendary Th’ Dudes at Auckland’s Powerstation on August 24.

Rikki Morris hasn’t put out an album for 28 years, since the very good Everest, but his newest album, appropriately titled About Time, is released in August and he’s also hitting the road for six concerts around the country in support of it, with support artist Oni Kidman. Tickets at www.plus1.co.nz

Two singles are already released, The One Thing I Can’t Live Without, and The Saddest Sound (originally written and demoed by his brother Ian Morris), that are at https://rikkimorris.bandcamp.com

Rikki Morris’ Bandcamp page says: ‘With over 35 years’ experience in the music industry, Rikki has won NZ Music Award Tuis, the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll, NZ Radio Jingle Awards, and written and performed a NZ number one single.’
