When Waxahatchee released her stunning album Saint Cloud in late March of 2020, there was no way of knowing she would have to put her tour on hold indefinitely. But now, shortly after the one-year anniversary of the album, Waxahatchee has officially rescheduled her North American tour and unveiled its dates.
Bringing Saint Cloud on the road, Waxahatchee’s tour kicks off in September in Louisville and concludes a month later in Boston. Much of the album puts her sobriety at the forefront of the music, a decision which Waxahatchee discussed with Uproxx ahead of the LP’s release:
“I just was getting so tired and jaded about music in general. Not only the creative aspect of it, but the career of it and the scene and all of it. Every aspect of it was feeling tiring and dumb to me for a minute there. So I had to totally hang up the identity as a musician. There were things that I was thinking about and considering, like why do I do this? Why have I always been playing music? Why have I always been writing songs? Should I write a book? I was really back at the drawing board and needed to do a long, hard reflection on why I make music. After I did that for a while and really let myself forget what it felt like to even be a musician, I started writing this record. It’s given me faith in it again. I’m being reborn as this whole new thing.”
