SPRING / SUMMER TOUR DATES BEGIN MAY 2
“’Getaway’ is far and away a confident and poised collection of road-weary ballads and impeccable songwriting.” Domionated
“’Getaway’ pushes at the bounds of what Lapell has achieved so far. Drawing horns, harmonica, and even an accordion together, the soundscapes paint pictures of their own, composing the feelings of the spaces they were created in.” Exclaim!

Today, Abigail Lapell announces an extensive run of tour dates for this spring and summer that takes her clear across Canada and back. Tour dates begin May 2 and a full list can be found below. Fittingly, the acclaimed songwriter is also sharing the live video for “Halfway To Mexico”, a song about begin on the road.
“It’s about long drives on tour and the people left behind back home,” says Lapell. The video was captured at the Toronto album launch for Getaway by Tom Varey with audio by Fedge, and features some of the amazing players who appeared on the album; Dan Fortin (Bernice) on bass, Jake Oelrichs (Run With Kittens) on drums, Christine Bougie (Bahamas) on lap steel, and Kelly Lefaive on vocals.

Out now on Coax Records / Outside, Getaway has spent several weeks on the !earshot Folk/Roots/Blues Chart, currently sitting at #1.
