Haley Blais by Jake Pascoe
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT THURSDAY
WISECRACK OUT NOW VIA ARTS & CRAFTS
Proceeding the start of her North American tour next week, Haley Blais shares her single “Somebody’s Son.” The new single, which was originally written and recorded during sessions for her recently released sophomore album Wisecrack, is grounded with acoustic guitar strums layered with atmospheric vocals from Haley.
Opening up about the meaning of the song, Haley shares, “This is me talking directly to my brother; one family ending, and another beginning. A conversation with him spanning years.“
Next Thursday, Haley Blais will begin her headline North American tour to celebrate her sophomore album Wisecrack. Kicking off in Healdsburg, California, The Wisecrack Tour will make stops in Austin, Chicago, Brooklyn (SOLD OUT), Boston, Montreal, Toronto, and more with support from Grace Gardner, Charlie Houston, and Gabrielle Shonk on select dates. Full tour routing below and tickets available HERE.
Last September, Haley released her sophomore album Wisecrack, which is her deepest and most comprehensive work to date. For Haley, the purpose of looking backwards was never just for nostalgia’s sake, but to come to terms with the past in an effort to push herself forward. Within the creases of Wisecrack, Haley dives into the existential, everyday worries we all contain but rarely share and lays them bare with grace and humor. Wisecrack includes “The Cabin,” which arrived with a video directed by Zia Kalyan, “Baby Teeth,” which was paired with a video directed by Vancouver VFX artist Shea Oracheski, along with the songs “Matchmaker,” “Coolest fucking bitch in town” and “Survivor’s Guilt.”
