Bishop Briggs Announces 2017 North American Tour

By: Staff –

Bishop Briggs.

Breakout UK singer-songwriter Bishop Briggs has announced her first major headlining North American tour, which is set to kick off on April 18^th at The Showbox in Seattle.

Over the first 10 days of the tour, Bishop will play the Coachella Festival on Saturday, April 15^th, and Saturday, April 22^nd.  Tickets will be available for purchase starting Friday, February 3^rd at 10am local time at http://bishopbriggs.com/tour. Check out the full list of dates below.

Born in London to Scottish parents, raised in Japan and Hong Kong, and writing her own songs since age seven, Briggs was already immersed in American pop-culture by the time she moved to Los Angeles to attend college.  She persevered in L.A., focused on a clear mission, and was never too proud to play any venue that would have her, often to crowds smaller than would gather in her childhood living room.  She honed her artistic vision with the help of producers Mark Jackson and Ian Brendon Scott.

Briggs’ music now transcends the limitations of singular genres, blending folk, pop and electronic music into a wholly unique sound.  Her voice, lived-in and unafraid, has been likened to artists as varied as Janis Joplin, Florence Welch, Aretha Franklin, and Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes), but Bishop foregoes restraint and defies categorization, forging a path that is uniquely hers.  With more new material, recent live performances/opening slots for Coldplay, Passion Pit and Kaleo, and a headlining tour, Bishop Briggs is poised to be one of 2017’s biggest breakout artists.

Whether it is the rapture of “River” or defiance of “Wild Horses,” Bishop Briggs’ songs are all inspired by what she calls “the biggest, most toxic and tragic love affair I’ve ever had”: her lifelong commitment to music.
