A Kiwi singer-songwriter touring the country this summer will be putting on a free show at Waihi Beach.

Auckland-based singer-songwriter Ciaran McMeeken will be bringing his ‘Which Way Shall We Go?' summer tour to 16 locations around New Zealand in January and February.

The tour is in support of his self-titled debut album, which was released in August. As a special reward for fans, he will also be performing four free shows, including an all-ages show in his birthplace of Arrowtown.

The free Waihi Beach show will be held at Waihi Beach Hotel on Saturday, January 6, while Ciaran will also be performing at Totara Street in Mount Maunganui on Sunday, January 14.

This will be Ciaran's first major tour of the country, including all the big holiday hotspots. Performing solo in all centres except Auckland, he'll be delighting fans with his incredible voice and classic singer-songwriter vibe – with support from solo artist and friend, Jasper Hawkins.

Promising to play tunes from his diverse catalogue, Ciaran's set will include recent hit singles ‘Which Way Shall We Go?' and ‘That Feeling', as well as his breakout single ‘City', which has had over 1.7 million plays on Spotify to date.

Starting his career in Dunedin, Ciaran self-released his debut EP ‘The Valley' in 2014, followed by 2015's ‘Screaming Man'. In 2016 Ciaran was invited to join Avalanche City and Ronan Keating for their New Zealand tours, and more recently was on the bill as support for American singer-songwriter Andy Grammer's Auckland show.
