Today, GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter, Gracie Abrams, announces her upcoming North American headlining tour, The Secret of Us Tour, which kicks off September 5th in Portland, OR. Produced by Live Nation, the 18-date tour will find Abrams playing iconic venues like Radio City Music Hall in New York, Los Angeles’ The Greek Theatre, Ryman in Nashville and more. Special guest, Role Model, will be direct support for this tour. See below for full routing. The Secret of Us Tour follows Gracie’s 2023 headlining tour, The Good Riddance Tour, which sold out in under an hour.
The tour is in support of Gracie’s upcoming sophomore album, The Secret of Us, out June 21. Gracie released the lead single “Risk” last month along with the official video – watch here. “Risk” amassed an impressive 1 million streams on Spotify in less than 10 hours after the release and currently has over 33 million streams to date. Upon release, Stereogum proclaimed the single, “continues Abrams’ knack for memorable turns of phrase set to melodies that stick with you.” Gracie took a hands-on role producing the new single alongside her friend and frequent collaborator Aaron Dessner, and the new music is sure to excite her fans and audience as SPIN recently teased of the new music, “These songs were meant to excite and engage the kinds of boisterous pop fans Gracie played for on tour.”
Following The Secret of Us Tour, Gracie will rejoin Taylor Swift on the highly acclaimed Eras Tour as direct support for the second North American leg. Last year, Gracie joined Taylor for 30+ shows across the U.S. before performing a limited run of sold-out acoustic shows with Aaron Dessner in NYC, Nashville and LA .
The Secret of Us is Abrams’ follow up to her debut album, Good Riddance, which she released last February. Upon release, Rolling Stone declared the album “one of 2023’s best debuts” and praised it as an “excellent, confessional debut album,” while V Magazine heralded, “Gracie Abrams is on her way to bonafide stardom.”
Good Riddance also earned Gracie her first ever GRAMMY® nod at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards with a nomination for the highly coveted Best New Artist.
Since making her debut in 2019, Gracie Abrams has emerged as one of the most compelling singer-songwriters of her generation, earning the admiration of such like minded artists as Taylor Swift, Lorde, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo and most recently, she earned the highly coveted nomination for Best New Artist for the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards. A consummate songwriter who names Joni Mitchell as her most formative influence, she penned her first song at age eight, then went on to amass a devoted following on the strength of her emotionally intimate lyrics and DIY sensibilities. As her profile rose, Abrams was named an artist to watch by taste making outlets like Pigeons & Planes, Fader, and i-D, in addition to being crowned one of seven breakout female musicians by Vogue UK. With the arrival of her debut project minor in summer 2020, she received glowing reviews from the likes of NME, who praised her “painfully honest tales of heartbreak draped in delicate melodies that carry much more intrigue than the usual run-of-the-mill singer-songwriter.” Executive-produced by Blake Slatkin — and also made with leading producers like Joel Little and benny blanco – the seven-song effort features her beloved singles “21,” “I miss you, I’m sorry,” and “Long Sleeves.” In November 2021, Abrams returned with This Is What It Feels Like, a 12-track project exploring such complex emotional experiences as self-betrayal, insecurity, and failed attempts at connection. Soon after completing her sold-out North American headline tour for This Is What It Feels Like, she set to work on her debut album. Abrams kicked off 2022 with a headline tour of North America followed by a support slot on Olivia Rodrigo’s tour and reconnected with Dessner to release two songs “Block me out” and “Difficult.” In 2023, Abrams released her highly anticipated debut album, Good Riddance, on February 24, followed by a North American headline tour that sold out in under one hour. Gracie toured with Taylor Swift as the opening on select dates of her blockbuster Eras Tour and will continue as direct support when the Eras Tour returns to North America later this year.
Role Model’s been in love. He was so in love he wrote his entire debut album, Rx, about it. But not all romances last forever, and the 27-year-old’s grieving of that same relationship is at the center of his sophomore album, Kansas Anymore. He began the project in 2022 but, faced with the ending of a formative relationship, he scrapped much of this early work. On his own and reinspired, he started anew, collaborating with Noah Conrad, Ian Fitchuk, Scott Harris & Jonah Shy to craft Kansas Anymore — a folk-tinged, lyric driven album featuring 13 new songs including “Oh Gemini” and “Deeply Still in Love.” Role Model is looking forward to playing these songs live, but more than anything, he’s embracing the sense of pride — and closure — he feels about making the album, about turning a personally heavy season of life into something that might move others. As rough as it was to ride that roller coaster of heartbreak and homesickness, Role Model feels these are the greatest songs he’s made yet.
