New York, NY (Top40 Charts) beccs has announced that she will be opening for the French singer and songwriter Pomme at her upcoming
Boston and New York City shows this June. The indie pop artist will be added to the June 12 date at Boston's The Sinclair and New York City's Webster Hall show on June 15.
The Boston-bred native turned New York transplant will be playing music from her upcoming EP, stay moist, out June 28. Each song on the EP reflects and confronts difficult and shameful, parts of oneself. By allowing pain and trauma to move through us like water instead of getting lodged inside, we can all 'stay moist' as a way to remain honest, authentic and glistening through our healing.
Leading up to the forthcoming EP, beccs next single "Rage In My Veins" out June 7, is an anthem for today. Featuring drum production by Ian Chang from Son Lux, "Rage In My Veins" is a brave reckoning with our own collective grief and rage. "Rage In My Veins", in addition to the newly released singles "f 0 0 d"(music video) and "Good Comin'", convey the colorful emotional spectrum of what it means to 'stay moist'.
$.25 from each ticket purchased at The Sinclair will go to The Shout Syndicate, a Boston-based, volunteer-run fundraising effort who raises money to help fund youth-led arts programs at proven non-profit creative youth development organizations in Greater Boston. Housed at The
Boston Foundation, The Shout Syndicate works in partnership with the Mayor's Office of Arts & Culture's creative plan,
Boston Creates.
