Laura Veirs announces today a spring UK tour. This will be her 22nd year of touring the UK. She will be performing solo with her nylon string guitar and will play songs from her 25-year catalog. Veirs will be accompanied on the road by her fiance Morgan Luker who is a Reed College music professor. The two met when Veirs was teaching a songwriting workshop in his class. They will marry in the summer of 2025.
In recent years Veirs has branched out into making visual art and she will be selling prints of her paintings at her live shows. Veirs also teaches songwriting workshops and will be heading to Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico this December to attend her ongoing residency there. She will also travel to Angouleme, France in May 2025 to accompany a French children’s choir in a performance of a concert of her songs.
Veirs is currently working on new paintings, an instrumental guitar album and a book about creativity.
Portland, Oregon-based singer-songwriter Laura Veirs has produced 14 albums over 25 years, toured internationally, and collaborated with numerous luminaries such as kd lang, Neko Case, Sufjan Stevens, Bill Frisell, Jim James, Colin Meloy, Kate Stables, Sam Amidon, Karl Blau, Shahzad Ismaily and many others. Veirs was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in October 2024. Her music blends the poetic sensibilities of contemporary folk with the rough edges of indie rock.
