As Laura Veirs announces her first UK tour, Getintothis’ Naomi Campbell has news of a February date.
Folk/alt country singer-songwriter Laura Veirs this month is on the road promoting her 10th studio album. The Lookout.
The album was produced by Veirs‘ husband and long term collaborator Tucker Martine (First Aid Kit, Don Henley).
The Portland native will play Jacaranda Records Phase One on February 7 as part of an 8 date tour with support from Sam Amidon.
Ticket holders can expect an evening of acoustic bliss with Veirs’ songs unraveling in the form of mythical lyrics and dynamic vocals with tones ranging from Enya to Joni Mitchell carving a unique atmospheric sound.
In her 20 years in the music industry Veirs has personalized her craft by working on various projects and collaborations, more notably as lead songwriter for Case/Lang/Veirs alongside k.d. Lang and Neko Case in 2016.
In 2018 Veirs ran Midnight Lightening, a weekly podcast focusing on the lives of musician parents. She interviewed 14 guests including Rosanne Cash and Carol Kaye for the production.
