James Brodie: Crossing The Bridge 2025
On June the 13th 2024, shortly after finishing his collaborative album Lost and Found (his first solo effort since 2013), songwriter and producer James Brodie went to pick up a friend from Auckland Airport. Instead, he left with significant physical and neurological injuries sustained in a high-impact car crash. In the months that followed, James would be largely isolated in his cabin in Te Aroha, New Zealand, only leaving for treatment and occasional visits to church and music events. During this time, he slowly learned how to play music again, writing in the process a 10-track acoustic-based album called Bridge (out August 10th, 2025) about facing his shadows and solidifying his faith through the storms of life. Now – in support of the album, James packs up his guitar and his suitcase in preparation for his first ever solo and acoustic tour, visiting intimate venues around New Zealand in his most stripped back and human shows to date.
In these special shows, James performs with only his guitar, his voice, and stories about recovery and hope in all seasons of life. From struggles with mental health to the vulnerability of recovery and finding hope along the way, James takes off the mask and dives deep into his journey and the music that helped him get through it all.
Folk ‘N’ Rock: “James Brodie’s been in the game for over a decade, but Lost and Found feels like a true arrival”.
Broken8 Records: “James’s debut solo album Lost and Found is a heartfelt offering that weaves through life’s varied landscapes, finding hope and joy in both light and shadow”.
All North Island shows are on sale now. Booking seats ahead of time is highly encouraged due to the limited capacities of these intimate venues.
