Roxanne de Bastion promotes new single with virtual tour
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 7 May 2020
Singer-songwriter Roxanne de Bastion is heading out on a UK tour today to promote her new Bernard Butler-produced single ‘Erase’, which in normal times wouldn’t be all that surprising, but what about bloody lockdown?
Don’t worry, no social distancing rules are being broken here, it’s a virtual tour. De Bastion has teamed up with various venues and gig promoters around the country and will be livestreaming from her home, but via the social channels of those local venues and promoters.
She explains: “I’m really excited to have found a way to continue working together with independent venues and promoters that I’ve enjoyed working with in the past and hope this will be mutually beneficial”.
“I’m looking forward to introducing my music to new audiences”, she goes on, “and will try and treat it as much as a proper show as possible. Expect a mix of brand new songs, as well as material off my 2017 ‘Heirlooms & Hearsay’ album, and maybe the odd cover song so you can sing along from your sofa”.
The virtual tour will virtually visit Milton Keynes, Liverpool, Manchester, Plymouth, Coventry, Leeds and Brighton – with links to each show here. Those tuning in will be invited to make donations via PayPal.
Meanwhile, listen to ‘Erase’ here:
