On Monday, January 9, American singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams took to her Instagram account and made two major announcements - a North American tour in support of her upcoming debut album, Good Riddance, set to release on February 24, and the release of her new single Where Do We Go Now? on January 13.
Abrams will kick off her tour on March 7 in Chicago, Illinois, and conclude on April 10 in San Francisco. On all dates, Abrams will be backed by Tiny Habits, which comprises Maya Rae, Cinya Khan, and Judah Mayowa.
Accompanying the announcement, Gracie Abrams released a heartfelt statement about how working on Good Riddance helped her grow.
“I feel an unbelievable amount of gratitude for the opportunity to have made this album. Writing this record allowed me to grow up in ways I needed to. It forced me to reflect and be accountable. It allowed me to walk away from versions of myself that I no longer recognized. It allowed me to let go."
In her Instagram post, Gracie Abrams thanked songwriter and musician Aaron Dessner, noting that Dessner reminded her “that holding space for brutal honesty in songwriting is kind of the whole point.”
Abrams, in an interview with NYU News, noted that her relationship with Dessner taught her about the importance of taking time and space to “just exist in places that are less public before being creative in a way that ends up being so public.”
