**solo set supporting The Unthanks’ reissue celebration! Thanks, old friends, for the beautiful invite that got this tour in motion ❤️

I bought the sweater in this pic from a friend’s vintage stall in Coventry — my overseas home-away-from-home — on one of my first UK tours. It’s been so so long! Thank you promoters, ticket buyers, and longtime supporters for giving me an opportunity re-connect with longlost loved ones, and to see & feel these beautiful places again.

Special thanks to Tin Angel Productions for organizing and to Marker Starling AKA my dear friend Chris AKA one of my favorite artists ever for coming over from Toronto to support the tour and play in my band ⭐
