Sophie B. Hawkins
Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins will embark on a new voyage to the melodic shores of Whaler as the emotionally timeless songs re-emerge on stage in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the album’s release along the Eastern seaboard throughout the month of May.
Released in 1994, Whaler was the follow up to the platinum certified debut album Tongues and Tails (1992), that earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist in 1993. Whaler featured the singles “Right Beside You”, and the top ten hit “As I Lay Me Down,” with accompanying video directed by Sophie Mueller (Annie Lennox, Sade). The album was certified gold.
“Whaler was an incredibly adventurous time of my life, making my second record in London, meeting my teenage inspirations, living a dream I’d imagined since childhood,” recalls Sophie. “The songs are warm and happy and I love getting to know this part of me again, and presenting them live in a whole new way.”
For this upcoming tour, she will perform mainly acoustic accompanied by piano, guitar and percussion in preparation for her acoustic re-recording of Whaler due later this year.
