Singer-Songwriter

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of her seminal eponymous debut studio album, Martha Wainwright announces the 20th Anniversary Tour, coming to The Acorn on May 10th, 2025.

About the Artists:

Canadian singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright has released seven critically-acclaimed studio albums. In 2025 she celebrates the 20th anniversary of her seminal eponymous debut studio album.

The album had a huge impact on her career and in addition to the tour she is releasing the record on vinyl for the first time, in both a single and expanded double vinyl version and will have 20th Anniversary merchandise for sale at each date.

2005’s ‘Martha Wainwright’ showed an artist of considerable depth and vision and secured herself a place as one of the finest songwriters of her generation that included the songs ‘Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole,’ ‘Factory,’ ‘Far Away,’ and ‘When the Day is Short’.

Haley Blais
Haley Blais is a Vancouver-based singer-songwriter who has turned out defiant scream-into-your-pillow pop songs since 2014. Blais developed a community and fanbase as a teenager almost a decade ago with her diaristic YouTube videos and tender ukulele covers. Since then, Blais has traded the solo ukulele for a guitar and a five-piece band. In 2020, Blais released a debut full-length album of jangly pop anthems, Below the Salt, produced with indie staples Tennis and Louise Burns. The debut amassed millions of streams and avid support from publications like NPR, NYLON, and i-D, leading to sell-out shows in the UK, Europe and USA. Now signed to iconic indie label Arts & Crafts, Haley’s signature sound has matured into a distinct new voice. Her lyrics riff on the joys and banalities of the every day, the need to break apart and away from an uninspiring life, radical acceptance, and manifesting a world where you feel proud of yourself and who you’re surrounded by.
