NAO
Fine Line Music Cafe
Fri 01/25/2019 (7pm/$20)

English singer Nao (real name Neo!) will be stopping by the Fine Line Music Café on Friday, January 25th, as part of her world tour in anticipation of her album Saturn (due for release on October 26).

Nao talked about the upcoming album and about the album title: “My friends kept telling me about the term ‘Saturn Returns’. It’s this idea that Saturn takes 29 years to orbit from when you’re born and it is the planet of blessings and growth. So by the time you’re around 29, between 27 and 32, something big happens in your life. It’s like waking up and coming of age, like: ‘I’ve been going through my twenties and what have I been doing in this relationship?’ What have I been doing in this job?’ You start to rethink everything – old stuff that your parents taught you or ideas that you believed in. It’s like a complete shedding of skin and it can be painful.”

This upcoming show will be a great way to check the singer out before the album drop.

Tour dates:

12 Jan – Vogue Theatre, Vancouver, BC

13 Jan – Showbox, Seattle, WA

14 Jan – Wonder Ballroom, Portland, OR
