ARLO PARKS @ ROYALE
7:00pm, Thursday, March 28th with Chloe George
In honor of her second studio album’s release, Arlo Parks is back on tour. In this album, the singer navigates life during her 20s, highlighting its challenges as well as its perks. The album was recorded sporadically between 18 months and Parks herself has categorized it as “far more collaborative” than past records. The result is a deeply personal piece that, once combined with Parks’ soothing voice, one can’t help but be mesmerized by. Therefore, if you’re in for a good cry, this is the show for you!

ELIZA MCLAMB @ THE SINCLAIR
Friday, March 29th with Mini Trees
On Friday, March 29th, Eliza McLamb will be taking the stage at The Sinclair. Finding fame in early 2022 after amassing a following on TikTok, McLamb is journeying on her first headlining tour. Her recently released debut album, Going Through It, varies in styles from the upbeat indie “Modern Woman”, to lowkey, anti-love ballads like “Mythologize Me”. As a longtime fan of McLamb, her music isn’t the only reason to see her live: she’s known for her dry witted humor as seen on her podcast Binchtopia. The Anything You Want Tour is also supported by Mini Trees, also known as Los-Angeles based artist Alexis Vega Koch.
