Carson McHone announces Europe dates in August and September

Pentimento finds Carson McHone on the frontier of her musical imagination, channeling motifs as diverse as guitar rock, pastoral folk, poetry, field recordings, visual art, memory, family, landscape, into her most profound effort to date. Written in the Texas desert and recorded on the Canadian coast, the album is a layered compilation examining life’s shifting circumstances and the disquiet of the world at large.

Between extensive North American tours as a member of the Canadian rock ‘n’ roll group, Daniel Romano’s Outfit, McHone will make a trip across the pond late this summer 2026 for a string of headline UK/Euro dates in August/September, with a stop at End of the Road Festival. Collaboration at the forefront of McHone’s practice these days, she’s teaming up with past tour pal, Max Kinghorn-Mills, to build a band for this tour featuring members of his own Hollow Hand band, plus three performances as a trio with Kinghorn-Mills and multi-disciplinary artist, Fliss Horrocks. Find full dates below, including bills with Sister Wives, Birds Flying Backwards, Bee Positives, and fellow native Texans Little Mazarn and Garrett T. Capps.

 

Carson McHone is a songwriter and artist originally from Austin, Texas, now residing in Southern Ontario. Her first internationally released album, Carousel (2018), via Loose Music, produced by Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Patty Griffin), was a reimagining of songs from her formative years coming of age playing in dive bars. It established her as a shrewd artist who raises unconventional questions with language equally at home in a poem or a short story. The follow up, Still Life, recorded with Canadian musician and producer (and McHone’s partner) Daniel Romano, was released on Merge Records/Loose Music in February 2022. McHone has since recorded and toured five albums as a member of Daniel Romano’s Outfit - Cobra Poems (2022), La Luna (2023), Too Hot To Sleep (2024), Live in Oslo (2025), and Preservers of the Pearl (2026), as well as two 7” singles, Even if it’s Obscure (2025) and Servo (2025), all released on You've Changed Records, as well as two more solo EPs, Camera Varda Variations (2022), and ODES (2023), both recorded with her bandmates from the Outfit, at their studio, Camera Varda.
