Lorina Harding arrived in New Zealand from her native Canada in 1988, bringing with her not only an outstanding musical talent but also a wealth of experience in performance (acting, puppetry, mask, clowning) for stage, television, and film. Her first album, Lucky Damn Woman, received exceptional reviews, winning Best Folk Album at the 1992 New Zealand Music awards and Lorina was nominated Most Promising Female Vocalist in the same year. In 2005, Lorina's long awaited second album, Clean Break, also captured a Tui and is attracting great reviews while Lorina was Metro Magazine’s pick for Best NZ Female Solo Artist for 2005 writing: “…(She) proves that life experiences are intrinsic to coming up with the song-writing goods.” Lorina’s extensive theatrical background, storytelling abilities and infectious sense of humour blend to create mesmerising stage performances reviewers have called “…utterly captivating.” Lorina has played support for many overseas acts including Lucinda Williams (USA) Suzanne Vega (USA), Katy Moffat (USA), Guy Clark (USA), Rory McLeod (UK), Jane Siberry (Canada), and Blue Rodeo (Canada). ...a truly gifted performer, an accomplished singer songwriter and musician (New Zealand Musician calls her “an evolved craftsperson”), with a distinctive and original sound of her own. Her songs have been called “…masterpieces in miniature…” sung with a voice “…resonant and soulful as a gospel choir…Lorina now lives in a small town where she sings to the older folks, teaches drama to Special people and lives her dream of being a drummer in a rock band.
