Julien Baker will return to the road this fall for a North American tour.

The songwriter and boygenius member will kick off the trek with three nights at Chicago’s Thalia Hall beginning Sept. 23. She’ll then head to the East Coast — with a stop at the inaugural All Things Go Music Festival in New York alongside Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, Janelle Monáe, and others — before spending three nights at New York’s Webster Hall. The tour will wrap back on the West Coast, with multiple nights in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Baker released her most recent solo album, the excellent Little Oblivions, in 2021. She spent 2022 on the Wild Hearts Tour with Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten, before dropping the explosive, full-length boygenius debut the record in 2023. The trio — consisting of Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers — toured extensively and won several Grammys.

In boygenius’ Rolling Stone cover story, Baker spoke about the immense fame she was about to experience with the record. “There is a part of me that gets very easily intimidated by stuff because I have a country-mouse complex,” she said. “But so far the commitments that we have, they’re just my job at a different scale. I don’t think that my life can change and blow up without my permission. I could just go play these gigs in bigger venues than I’m used to playing, and then I could just continue to go home and go help my neighbors mow their lawn.” 

Tickets for Baker’s tour go on sale Friday.

Prevost: the Québec company behind the biggest tours

If you’ve ever wandered backstage at a festival or through the private parking lot of an arena during a concert, you’ve probably noticed something: a long row of tour buses. And if you looked closely, you may have seen the same name on every single one: Prevost.

The story of these coaches, like that of nearly every tour bus in North America, doesn’t begin in Los Angeles but just outside Québec City.

Dominique Fils-Aimé Follows Her Heart and Own Rules

Dominique Fils-Aimé Follows Her Heart and Own Rules

You know that little inner voice whispering in your ear to be cautious about this, or to give more weight to that? Dominique Fils-Aimé always listens to it — especially when people push her to go against her gut instinct. The jazz artist doesn’t care for conventions or received wisdom. She treats every seed life drops along her path as an opportunity to follow her instincts. To go her own way. To listen to her heart. And it pays off.

The Montreal singer-songwriter tends to question everything we take for granted. Case in point: applause between songs at her shows. Anyone who’s seen her live knows she asks audiences to wait until the end of the performance to clap, so as not to break the spell she creates each time.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.
