Matchess touring with Haley Fohr, Lula Asplund, Jenny Pulse & more
Whitney Johnson will on tour this summer, both as part of her long-running Matchess project and duo shows with Lia Kohl. Matchess dates start this weekend feature a group lineup of Johnson, Circuit des Yeux‘s Haley Fohr and Lula Asplund that promises “three marimbas, three voices, sine waves, viola, and other sounds.”
The tour wrap ups with NYC-area shows at Tubby’s Kingston on June 19 with Tashi Dorji / Dave Rempis and Brooklyn’s Union Pool on June 20 with Pets (debut show), LWG and DJ Jen Monroe.
After a few days off, Whitney will then start her tour with Kohl, which includes a Brooklyn show at Public Records on June 26 with Ka Baird and More Eaze.
Later in the summer, Matchess will be touring with a different trio variation featuring Haley Fohr and Jenny Pulse in the group. All dates are listed below.
Matchess’ most recent album is 2022’s Sonescent, but Johnson intimates these new trio shows represent a new direction for the project.
