ANNOUNCES THE FORGIVENESS TOUR
Toronto, ON – June 22, 2018 – Last year, Joey Landreth stunned audiences with his debut solo record Whisky. The album earned critical-acclaim across the country showcasing him as a songwriter, vocalist, musician and performer in his own right. Today, he follows that up with his brand new smooth and soulful single “Forgiveness.” Listen here.
On coming up with the concept of “Forgiveness” Landreth says,
“I was toying around with the idea of forgiveness and what it meant to me. It kinda hit me one day that forgiveness is such a hard state of mind to achieve because we spend so much time being hung up on our own ideas of who’s right and who’s wrong. Forgiveness is not something that you decided to give away, or something that you do to someone else, ie.: ‘I forgive you for doing this.’ but rather an act that exists almost completely as an internal dialogue. In forgiving someone, you are not granting them freedom from your judgement but rather freeing yourself from your own judgement.”
When Landreth is on the road, he is doing what he does best, entertaining audiences with his soulful musical storytelling and infectiously emotive melodies. Fans will be able to catch him live this summer on The Forgiveness Tour that includes stops in Canada, The US and The UK. Tour dates below!
Watch the live video for “Forgiveness” recorded at Joey’s Apartment.
