\u201cI got lost somewhere between Here And There, I\u2019m not sure what\u00a0the town was called\u201d<\/div>\n
Scotty Says – Courtney Barnett (2012)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Courtney Barnett today announces \u2018Here And There,\u2019 a boutique touring festival with a rotating line-up featuring many of the most exciting songwriters in music today. This August and September, Barnett will take the one-day, one-stage festival to 15 locations around North America, each city with an extraordinary and unique line-up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Joining Barnett at various points on the line-up will be Alvvays, Arooj Aftab, Bartees Strange, Bedouine, Caroline Rose, Chicano Batman, Ethel Cain, Faye Webster, Fred Armisen, Hana Vu, Indigo De Souza, Japanese Breakfast, Julia Jacklin, Leith Ross, Lido Pimienta, Lucy Dacus, Men I Trust, Quinn Christopherson, Sleater-Kinney, Snail Mail, The Beths, Waxahatchee, and Wet Leg. A full city-by-city summary can be found below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Barnett says: \u201cWhen I was a kid I would make mix-tapes and dream up my own festivals, I\u2019d even design the t-shirts and pair up musicians for iconic collaborations. I\u2019d listen to the mix-tape and pretend it was the live recording of a concert, all my favorite artists on stage together. 10 years ago I wrote this lyric: \u201cI got lost somewhere between here and there, I\u2019m not sure what the town was called\u201d. Whether that was meant to be interpreted as a geographical, emotional or philosophical journey, I thought it was the perfect title for my roaming festival.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This concept was something that remained floating in the back of my mind when I started playing music. Here And There feels like a natural culmination of energy after years of touring, and ten years of\u00a0working on my label Milk! Records. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve been forever daydreaming about, and part of an always evolving project to share spaces and build new platforms for art and artists that I believe in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s always been important to me to share the stage with people that I admire and artists that inspire me, which is why I\u2019m so excited and grateful to announce this amazing lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pre-sale begins on Tuesday, March 29 at 10am local – fans can sign up for access at hereandtherefest.com<\/a>. The first 100 people in each market to register get an exclusive, unique Flexi disc.

 <\/p>\n

Courtney is thrilled to have The Ally Coalition (TAC) at Here and There. TAC will be partnering with Here And There to provide site-specific programs throughout the tour. Founded in 2013 by Jack Antonoff (Bleachers) and fashion designer Rachel Antonoff, TAC is committed to bettering the lives of LGBTQ youth through tours, campaigns and partnerships, providing support to organizations serving LGBTQ Youth. TAC partners with artists and uses their platforms to raise awareness of the systemic inequalities facing the LGBTQ population and activate prominent members of the creative community and their fan bases to engage with these issues in meaningful and impactful ways. This year, TAC is touring with a range of incredible artists, including Courtney Barnett, Bleachers, Big Thief, Faye Webster, Beach Bunny and Caroline Rose.<\/p>\n

Courtney is partnering with Plus1 to donate $1\/ticket to TAC and their work supporting LGBTQ Youth across the country.<\/div>\n

More on \u2018Here And There\u2019<\/p>\n

When Courtney Barnett first started playing shows she\u00a0drove vast distances through the Australian bushland and desert, passing occasionally through small towns and stopping at gas-stations and fast-food outlets. Eventually she\u2019d\u00a0arrive at one of Australia\u2019s sprawling cities, unpack the car, and sing. She wrote a lot of songs about those experiences, some which appear on\u00a0her early\u00a0EPs and debut album. Songs like Dead Fox, Scotty Says and Out Of the Woodwork.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the success of her early\u00a0EPs in Australia, Barnett shifted focus to playing shows in North America and Europe. Each place was new to her, without an identity formed by personal experience. She was here, then a few days later she\u2019d be there. Destinations in those days were just names on a map. But over the past decade these nameless and faceless places revealed themselves to be the beloved homes of communities, venues, theaters and amphitheaters with thriving musical cultures and incredible audiences.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Here And There\u2019 is a concept partially born of Barnett\u2019s love of curation. Barnett has owned\u00a0a label (Milk! Records) for a decade now – releasing the music of artists from her home town of Melbourne, Australia as well a few brilliant US-based friends she\u2019s made along the way (Sleater-Kinney, Chastity Belt, Hand Habits amongst others), leveraging her deep connection with her audience to champion the music of others that she admires.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here And There is also a fresh take on touring, inspired by a couple of life-changing events where Courtney was invited to host and curate. The first, a festival named Sonic City<\/a> in Belgium back in 2019, where Barnett was asked to curate a line-up over two days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cCurating Sonic City was such a joy. I watched some incredible music that day. Sasami, Hachiku, Joan As Policewoman, Beverly Glenn-Copeland and so much more. I was completely mesmerized, I remember looking around the room and wondering how it could have possibly all come together so perfectly. I\u2019m so thankful to the Sonic City crew for giving me that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second, a special event<\/a> on Valentines Day 2020 where Barnett hosted an event for the Newport Folk Foundation. That Valentine’s Day special saw Courtney act as musical director, curator and performer along with some of today’s leading folk and indie artists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThat Valentines Day show happened in the middle of a musical epiphany for me. It pushed me just outside my technical comfort zone and left me feeling so inspired. I especially adored the collaboration of that show, it felt like one big house band swapping songs and stories. It was such an honour to share the stage with those musicians and artists that I admire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was on such a high afterwards, dreaming of taking that show on the road, and then Covid halted all plans for two years.\u00a0I bought a record player during isolation and spent endless hours listening to music, I think I really fell in love with music again.\u201d<\/p>\n
