Lawrence Arabia

From New Zealand

Lyrical pop, indie rock or new folk? Its hard to define the music of Lawrence Arabia but it is clear that he is one of New Zealand's best emerging songwriters with a unique voice and sound. Lawrence Arabia is the pseudonym of Christchurch-born James Milne, also singer-songwriter of The Reduction Agents and former member of the Brunettes and the Ruby Suns. James has produced music for television, film and theatre and his songs appeared in Taika Waititi's film "Eagle vs Shark." In the past year Lawrence Arabia has toured extensively around Europe and the UK with Feist and Okkervil River including performing at London's Royal Albert Hall. Lawrence Arabia's album 'Chant Darling' released in March last year received critical acclaim around the world. At WOMAD New Zealand 2011, the APRA Silver Scroll and Taite Music award-winner will perform songs from his much anticipated new album alongside his internationally acclaimed older material in a lively and entertaining Saturday afternoon trio set.
