Loma + Shearwater + Any Kind • Strange Brew, Bristol

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𝐋𝐨𝐦𝐚 + 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 + 𝐀𝐧𝐲 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝 Loma and Shearwater almost seem fated to tour together. Both feature songwriter Jonathan Meiburg and producer Dan Duszynski, hail from Austin, Texas, and release music through Seattle’s Sub Pop. Both also feature an Emily — Emily Cross in Loma and Emily Lee in Shearwater. But the two bands are distinct in the ways only siblings can be.

Since their last tours in 2018, both have released two albums, with Loma’s Don’t Shy Away and How Will I Live Without A Body? joined by Shearwater’s The Great Awakening and The New World.
