Mel Parsons closed out her Sabotage Album Release Tour with a sold out concert at Auckland’s Q Theatre, a venue that seems to be growing in stature in a city that needs more quality places to play.

Mel Parsons opened up her Tiny Days Tour in Auckland in front of a seated audience at Galatos with a show dedicated to parents and their children. I’ve been to a few shows at Galatos over the years and I seem to remember most of those shows as rather raucous events…

After recently reviewing Mel Parsons' new album, ‘Slow Burn' I was super keen to see her on stage again. How would these songs work live? For me, it's been a few years since I've seen her on a big stage. But through various channels, I've always kept up with her work.
