Taylor has introduced new solo tour dates; discover these here.
In a press launch, Taylor mentioned:
I wrote “Watching the Wires” and “Everybody Needs Somebody” within the basement of a home simply exterior of Portland, Maine, final summer season. 2018 was a tough yr—for myself and, because it seems, most individuals that I do know—and I used to be considering rather a lot at the moment about how to deal with what felt like an unnameable existential disaster: Run for the hills, or hug the closest stranger? As it seems, I’ve been doing a little bit of each. Singing these songs has been useful to me.
Last fall, Hiss Golden Messenger launched a field set known as Devotion: Songs About Rivers and Spirits and Children. The band’s final album, Hallelujah Anyhow, got here out in 2017.
