“I posted about this tour quite a while ago, just taking requests online of, like, comment your cities, like where do you think I should route this tour? And it was really cool to get those requests in and both of these places [North Battleford and Prince Albert] were on that list that people had requested. So, I’m excited to be coming their way!”

Townes said she has a special connection with her Saskatchewan fan base, particularly those who have shared deeply personal and vulnerable moments with her through her music.

She pointed to her song “Jersey on the Wall” and the connection it has with people in Humboldt, following the 2018 Broncos bus crash.

“I always hold everybody in Humboldt, Sask. really close to my heart when I think about that song. I’ve seen people showing up with jerseys and moments in the show with that. … It takes so much courage to show up and talk about that and bring that kind of emotion and vulnerability. I have so much love for them.”

That same sense of vulnerability and connection is at the heart of the Living Room Tour, where Townes wanted to create an intimate setting that allows her to give something special back to her audience.

“It’s like we both are showing up, giving ourselves permission to feel whatever we need to feel.”

The stripped-down performances feature just Townes, a living room set and a guitar, putting the focus on the music and the shared experience between artist and audience.

“I really do feel like vulnerability is a two-way street. When you show up as an audience with an open heart to kind of feel and experience whatever emotion you need to feel, it goes both ways. It’s been really, really special to me so far on this tour.”

Townes will be performing in Prince Albert at the EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts on Thursday, Nov. 12.
