Martha Wainright: To celebrate the 20th anniversary of her seminal eponymous debut studio album, Martha Wainwright announces the 20th Anniversary Tour, hitting North America in the Spring of 2025. The album had a huge impact on her career and in addition to the tour she is releasing the record on vinyl for the first time, in both a single and expanded double vinyl version and will have 20th Anniversary merchandise for sale at each date. 2005’s "Martha Wainwright" showed an artist of considerable depth and vision and secured herself a place as one of the finest songwriters of her generation that included the songs “Factory,” “Far Away” and “When the Day is Short.” Opening Act - Brad Barr: Over a career that spans three decades, Brad Barr has cultivated a uniquely visceral, disarmingly intimate approach to the guitar. If you’re already a fan of the Montreal-based Barr Brothers, or the legendary improv-rock trio The Slip, then you already know — it’s futile to try and categorize his ongoing experiments in sound and songwriting. At the heart is an artist who is constantly reinventing himself — whether in the studio or in front of audiences — and the mystery of what might happen next is always there. There is an accumulated treasure trove of songs, both lyric and instrumental, from his thirty-plus years of constant exploration; and there is Brad himself, already leaning into the next turn, trying mostly to surprise himself… and the listener is along for the ride.
