“after much consideration, i’ve decided to cancel this run of UK/Europe shows. i’m so sad to miss seeing your faces and singing with you💔also gutted to miss performing alongside the incredible @madamegandhi!

thank you to everyone who bought a ticket or who planned to buy — the shows were selling so well & your support means absolutely everything to me.

it would be easier to say “due to unforeseen circumstances,” but a dear friend encouraged me to be more transparent. many people don’t realize that musicians often tour at a loss — we do it not because it makes money but because we love to connect with people who listen to our music and who show so much love and support for our art. i always understand the music deeper through sharing it live in rooms with you all, that process is such a gift to me.

it’s a huge investment to tour with a band + crew of our size, and i’ve been fortunate to make that investment many times. but the landscape has changed drastically since 2020. between renting gear, transportation and accommodation costs, even if we sold out every show the financial burden wouldn’t be practical to take on.

i’m eagerly envisioning a future where musicians can unionize, where streaming services pay artists fairly, and where the industry becomes more equitable for artists at all stages of their careers. in the meantime, i’m gonna take a beat to reimagine what a more sustainable way of touring overseas could look like, and also dream on some alternative ways to connect on here and irl.

thank you so much for your understanding & for being along with me on this journey! more soon“
