Carson McHone announces summer tour dates

Carson McHone is a songwriter from Austin, Texas, now residing in Southern Ontario. McHone’s 2018 internationally released Carousel, produced by Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Patty Griffin), was a reimagining of songs from her formative years coming of age playing in dive bars in and around her hometown. It established her as a shrewd artist who raises unconventional questions with language equally at home in a poem or a short story.

In 2019, during a hectic tour schedule, the songs of Still Life were written, and the following year McHone teamed up with Canadian musician and producer, Daniel Romano, to record the album while sequestered at a home studio in the fall of 2020. Still Life was released on in February 2022 with McHone touring the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK in support of the album, as well as joining, and performing with, Daniel Romano’s Outfit. In September 2022 McHone released Camera Varda Variations, a digital EP featuring two songs from Still Life re- recorded at the Outfit’s new studio, Camera Varda, with the group as her band, akin to the collaboration/live show of the two acts on tour.

McHone has recorded and toured three albums as a member of Daniel Romano’s Outfit: Cobra Poems, La Luna, and Too Hot To Sleep. McHone’s latest 2024 EP, Odes, is a collection of carefully curated covers recorded at Camera Varda with her bandmates from the Outfit, on which she tours Europe in summer:
