Canadian singer/songwriter Lindi Ortega is due to return to Auckland’s Tuning Fork this coming Tuesday, November 14th. Lindi will be here after releasing her EP, Til The Goin’ Gets Gone earlier this year.

Greg Johnson & Mel Parsons – Tuning Fork November 10, 2017
Sometimes, just for a night, the middle of the road doesn’t seem like such a bad place. Sometimes derivative can be comforting and even forgettable can be entertaining in the moment.

I must admit that when I saw that Jay Farrar was reviving the Son Volt name a decade or so ago, without any other original members, it kinda seemed like beating a dead horse. But, after witnessing their live set at The Tuning Fork last night, it seems that horse is very much alive […]
Justin Townes Earle & The Sadies – Tuning Fork October 11, 2017
It just keeps getting better and better! Toronto band The Sadies rocked the house, then proceeded to back up Justin Townes Earle, making for one hell of a Wednesday night at The Tuning Fork.
Robbie Fulks – The Tuning Fork October 10, 2017
The Americana Fest marches on! Day 3 at The Tuning Fork was a slightly lower key affair than Sunday night. Instead of nine musicians crowding the stage, as The Eastern did, last night was an evening of duos.
