This Sunday, August 31, Bay of Plenty music lovers are in for a treat as the Sisters in Country, a dynamic trio of New Zealand country music royalty, perform in Tauranga.

This special show, starting at 4pm at the Tauranga Citz Club, offers a rare opportunity to see three of New Zealand’s most celebrated artists on one stage, delivering an afternoon of incredible music and nostalgic charm.

Headlining the group is Jodi Vaughan, a legend of New Zealand’s music scene. A household name from her performances on the 1980s television show That’s Country, Vaughan has a voice and stage presence that have captivated audiences for decades.

“Her performance promises to evoke memories of a golden age of country music, connecting with fans who have followed her career since the very beginning,” said Aly Cook, another incredible “sister” alongside masterful Marian Burns, affectionately known as the “Fiddle Queen”.

“Burns’ virtuosic fiddle playing is a showstopper in its own right, adding a rich, lively layer to every song,” said Cook.

Together, their talents create a musical harmony that is both breathtaking and deeply moving.

The Tauranga Citz Club show was more than just a concert, said Cook. “It’s a chance to experience the genuine camaraderie and passion us three women share for our craft.”

Cook said they aimed to represent the heart and soul of New Zealand country music, “and we believe our performance is a must-see for anyone who remembers the classic sounds of a generation”.

For those who can’t make it to Tauranga this weekend, Sisters in Country are also headlining the Harmony Road tour in Australia in January 2026, taking those on the tour from a Sydney Harbour cruise and Hunter Valley wine experience to the Tamworth Country Music Festival and the Gold Coast.

However, Sunday’s show is the perfect opportunity to catch these beloved artists up close. “Don’t miss this chance to witness our show – it promises to be full of heart, soul, and spectacular music,” said Cook.
