fare thee well australia :') 3 months since i've seen my own bed and i look forward to getting home but im feeling so filled up with joy. To everyone who made the shows possible, hosted me, shared a laugh, meal etc ily ty i am truly blessed by u.
to be together, in the sea, smiling, ear to ear, friends, the road, grumbling about sleeplessness, tumbling through endless changes, notes, sound checks, hotel sheets, friendly couches, swims, swings, side-of-road-nude-changes and butt naked bathroom breaks, quiet drives, loud drives, grumpy, giggly, snacky, and snack-less flights.... i am grateful to be here 🌏 thank you australia for the opportunity to make a living playing and writing songs. It is a huge honor and i will cherish and tend to it as best as i can in this starving society.
Last show is in Perth on April 4 and i hardly know anyone there so send your friends if you have any out west. i get to play it along side @heathcotebluemusic

Mimi Gilbert comes to Perth!
Saturday, April 4th at Astral Weeks
Fresh off touring across South Africa and Australia, indie-folk artist Mimi Gilbert brings their latest album ‘Undrowning’ to WA for one final intimate performance.
Likened to Big Thief and Julia Jacklin, Mimi embodies a deeply-crafted, indie folk, grit-inflected approach to their songwriting that makes for an unforgettable listening experience.
Join Mimi, alongside local loungeroom-folk talent Heathcote Blue, at Astral Weeks on April 4th— for what is set to be a truly special show.

unbearable beauty and an ocean of pain - jack kornfield
thinking of our home 🌏 wishing all the world leaders could be catapulted into space to experience some radical overview effect. why do i get to view this sunset in peace while others lose their children and sisters. i'm committed to sing along with some revolution, music (is) my anchor to humanity.
our tour starts in just a few weeks. we are excited.
in times like these, i feel honoured to travel with a poet and share these shows together. Ruby says what i cannot dare put into words. Then i will play you my songs. I can only hope that these nights will mean something more than just another show. and that the truth of this moment in time and history can sift softly down into us easier because of it and help us know how to be in our lives, our art, vitality, joy, resistance, community. f*ck f*c sits and g*noc*de, love is our greatest power.
