NEW EP: Velvet Bloom 'Where You Are' feat. Jay Jarome and Victoria and Tasmania Tour
Fall apart and back together with Velvet Bloom’s latest EP ‘Where You Are’ out via C.W. Records + tour dates with Jay Jarome
Soul soaked and heart healing, the wait for Velvet Bloom’s acoustic three track EP ‘Where You Are’ is finally over. Out now via C.W. Records, the EP is home to first single ‘Miles Away’, ‘Goodbye’, and title track ‘Where You Are’ featuring vocals from R&B songwriter Jay Jarome, with a bonus track ‘Isobel’s Song’ on physical copies. Together Velvet Bloom and Jay Jarome are setting off this July, bringing ‘Where You Are’ to cocktails bars, breweries, seaside venues, and more across Victoria and Tasmania.
Mastered by Joe Carra of Crystal Mastering, Velvet Bloom’s EP ‘Where Are You’ is a collection of honest stories, an experience that will have you simultaneously fall apart and stitched back together through threads of candid songwriting and creativity. Floating across a world of dreamy synths and guitar, the lyrics meander through themes of love, loss, grief, and more, as ‘Miles Away’ opens the EP; an anthem for touring musicians for long distance lovers, and moves through ‘Goodbye’; a letter in song form for Maddy Herbert’s father, holding space for her farewell and closure from his passing. Closing title track ‘Where You Are’ features nipaluna/Hobart based musician Jay Jarome, for a heartfelt collaboration - ‘This song takes me back to that longing, daydreaming of waking up with that special someone and having nothing on the agenda. Days of warm morning light through the window, lying in and loving all day, wine and dancing in the evening.’ - Jay Jarome.
With an ability to warm an entire room no matter where you are standing, a ray of sunshine that bursts from the vocals of Velvet Bloom’s Maddy Herbert, it is no wonder that they have captured audiences across Australia. Now the song seamstress embarks on a Victorian and Tasmanian tour, joined by Jay Jarome, visiting picturesque breweries at Paper Scissors Rock in the Grampians, and Simple Cider in Hobart, a night in their home on the Peninsula Shire at God’s Bandroom, with more dates across Hobart, Melbourne, and more.
Get ready to melt in the magic and moments of Velvet Bloom’s live shows this July.
