Hello friends,
Just dropping a quick note to say that TWO EXCITING THINGS are happening this week!
🎤✨ Number One: The Album Launch Show
I am performing this Thursday (March 6th) in London at SJQ. This is most likely going to be the one headline show I do with a full band this year, and if you miss it, you miss out!
I know we have all been in hibernation mode but I do feel like spring is gettin’ ready for the spranging and it’s high time we get out and socialise again. Preferably at my event lmao.
Yesterday I rehearsed with the band for the first time and it’s sounding SO GOOD, if I do say so myself. ‘Olivia Rafferty’ like you’ve never heard her before!
Putting on shows nowadays is a feat of co-ordination and financial backing, so thank you to my Kickstarter backers whose contributions will allow me to pay the band and all other involved parties a decent fee.
It would mean the world to me if you could come (if it is geographically convenient for you!). Like, honestly. I truly truly truly do mean it and this night is going to be the showing-off of 3 years hard work. It’s a very big deal for me and I am going to give you SUCH A GOOD SHOW oh my god yes I am.
🌈⛰️ Number Two: The Album!
MY DEBUT ALBUM IS COMING OUT THIS FRIDAY SHDNGJSHDSHAJDKSJAHDHFDS
It’s finally happening!
It’s been 3 years since I started writing Typical Forever, on this newsletter (this is why I started a Substack in the first place, to share my ideas and demos for this geology album).
It’s been 2 years since I got funding from the Geologist’s Association, which started this ball rolling.
It’s been almost 1 year since I ran my Kickstarter, and shared this world with you all.
And now…
It’s almost here.
Here’s a sneak peek of one of my favourite unreleased tracks from the record:
Hang tight, friends.
I’ll see some of you on Thursday! (adding another reminder to buy a ticket lol)
And for the rest of you… this project will be yours by the end of the week.
All the love, all the volcanoes, all the rocks, all the glittering mica and quartz,
Olivia
