Tickets are ‘pay what you feel’ with a minimum purchase of $5 USD and available HERE. The stream will be available for 24 hours.
HiRUDiN features the tracks “Anywayz” and “Mountain Baby” and this performance marks the first time that these tracks and others from the album were performed live.
In her own words, Austra reveals more about this intimate, virtual performance:
“Heartbreak is something that moves youit changes your DNA, the essence of who you are, of who you thought you were.when everything you know to be stable,safe, immovable, suddenly breaks, it’s a spiral of grief, uncertainty, and internal chaos. In 2020, I experienced a heartbreak and just as one might expect from a singer, I recorded a live performance to help move through it.
I hope you will join me in celebrating love,celebrating our ability to love, and our ability to soothe ourselves throughthe resilience of our bodies, our voices.”

I hope you will join me in celebrating love,
