Pearla – DREAM TOUR

In this Dream Tour segment, the indie artist, Pearla, lets you know who she would like on her ultimate tour lineup. You can check out the feature, after the break.

My dream tour lineup would include Joanna Newsom, Conor Oberst, Fiona Apple, and Bjork. These artists are all so brutally honest, unapologetic and have really pushed boundaries in music. I think they have each mastered the art of ripping your guts out and sending you into this alternate universe where, even your guts, ripped out of your body and on the floor next to you, are beautiful and magical. And that’s what I want to do with my music.

Joanna would start the show with her captivating harp-playing and whimsical vocals, bringing us into her mystical fairyland. Then, Conor would come out with his acoustic guitar and bring everyone to tears with his raw and unfiltered storytelling. Fiona would be next, revealing the deepest parts of her brain with her powerful vocals and vivid lyrics. Then Bjork would close the show with her string ensemble and melt us all. It would be a baroque-pop/folk/jazz/rock/classical/experimental extravaganza of pure transcendence. Still gauging where I would fit into this, but that would be the dream.

It would probably take place on the hills of Ireland somewhere. Everything is so alive there and filled with so many stories. It’s like Heaven on Earth. And being with these artists, who have shaped so much of how I experience life and how I make music, would be its own kind of paradise.
