Medium Build is partnering with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold goes to REVERB and their work creating a more sustainable music industry and empowering fans to take action on environmental and social issues.
Bella White to open. We saw her in March 2025 and said, “After a brief stage setup, Nashville, by the way of Calgary, Bella White and Sam came on stage to close out the show. White first came to our attention in 2020 when she released her debut album Just Like Leaving. Since then, she released Among Other Things, and her new EP Five For Silver (a cover lover EP). As I have previously mentioned, usually the first and the last night of the tour are the most interesting. Rarely are the first night of the tour goes as planned. Usually there is something wrong. Like equipment not working (which are sometime caught during soundcheck), or bands forgetting how to play or messes up their own songs… but in Bella’s case – she was missing the bassist Gina Leslie.”
