Tickets are now on sale for my live streamed show from the Natural History Museum. This is once in a lifetime, and I really can’t wait to share that with you. There’s going to be a very special appearance made by @paul.mescal too!! I’ve spent many hours in London just wandering through this museum by myself. To be able to put on my own show there now truly feels like a dream. Amongst all that history and wonderment, I’ll have the opportunity to add my songs to those walls. This is going to be so unique and special and I would hate for you to miss it, so get your tickets now!! Link in stories.
