Portland-based singer-songwriter Laura Veirs is set to bring her poetic blend of folk and indie rock to London's EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney) venue, joined by collaborator Karl Blau. Touring in support of her new album 'Temple Songs', Veirs will present an intimate, stripped-back performance showcasing songs from the record.

Why it matters

Veirs has built a reputation for her intricate songwriting and collaborations with acclaimed artists like k.d. lang, Neko Case, and The Decemberists. Her return with a self-produced album marks a creative milestone, and this London show will give fans a chance to experience her new material in a live, intimate setting.

The details

Veirs' new album 'Temple Songs' is her first in four years and the first she has written, recorded, arranged, produced and performed entirely on her own. The record features Veirs' signature nylon-string guitar work, vulnerable vocals, and bold electric textures. For the London show, she will be accompanied by longtime collaborator Karl Blau on electric guitar, stripping back the new songs for a more intimate performance.

  • The concert is scheduled for March 30, 2026 at 7:30 PM.
