We finished the European leg of The Serpentina Tour last week in Glasgow, Scotland, which also marked the end of The Serpentina Tour as a whole! Want to firstly congratulate BANKS on the realization and execution of a fantastic show for an incredibly unique and great album. I think this tour served as a sort of comeback for almost everyone involved after the pandemic years; it was apparent in the overarching feeling of gratitude which stretched from the first show in San Diego in May all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to Glasgow at the end of September. Secondly, I’d like to thank BANKS for trusting me to be one of four other people to share the stage with her. Through this experience I’ve been able to become more intimate with your music, and meet a slew of awesome, hardworking people who have become good friends.

From the blazing deserts of Arizona to the sparkling canals of Amsterdam, it was truly an adventure I will cherish for years to come.

…and hardly before the dust has settled, I have more news about what’s next coming very soon!
