Tashi Wada Announces Fall 2024 Tour Dates: US, UK, and Europe

Following the release of What Is Not Strange?, Tashi Wada takes to the road for dates in the US, UK, and Europe this fall. Joined by a rotating cast of musicians that helped shape the album, including Wada’s creative and life partner Julia Holter, Ezra Buchla, Devra Hoff, and Corey Fogel, the tour begins with east and west cost dates in September and October, and continues through Europe and the UK in November. The ensemble will be joined by Dicky Bahto on the east and west coast dates, who will provide live visuals.

Written and recorded over a period that encompassed the death of his father and the birth of his daughter, What Is Not Strange? sees Wada reflecting inward to explore broad narratives—being alive, mortality, finding one’s place in the world—through new modes of ecstatic, song-based expression. While the denser forms, stark contrasts, and overt surreality may carry a different weight than Wada’s earlier work, which elicited perceptual effects with minimal means, the heart of What Is Not Strange? is still in experimentation and unforeseen outcomes.
