Lily Seabird Announces SXSW Dates and Spring Northeast Tour

There’s a good chance you may have already heard some of the buzz surrounding Lily Seabird’s new record, Alas, which was released in mid-January. Her sophomore full-length is a warm, harsh epiphany that oscillates between painstakingly intimate indie-folk to wailing, gritty alt-country and has denoted her as one of the most promising songwriters on the Eastern seaboard.

Following an East Coast tour last month (which included a sold-out show at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right), Seabird has announced a new series of dates, including a series of SXSW showcase performances and a week-long tour with Florry and bandmate Greg Freeman. The full list of dates is available below; more tour dates will be announced soon.

Lily Seabird is a perceptive songwriter who can channel moments when everything feels raw and overwhelming into something healing and galvanizing. With Alas, the Burlington, VT-based artist’s sophomore album, she confronts grief with palpable clarity on tracks that careen from delicate folk to blistering indie rock. While it’s her second LP, it serves as a proper introduction to an undeniable and idiosyncratic voice. “Alas sounds way more like me,” she says. “This is the album I wanted to make in the first place.”
