Nubya Garcia Reveals 2025 North American Tour

North American jazz fans rejoice — renowned musician and composer Nubya Garcia has announced a tour of the US and Canada for 2025. Before she makes her way here, Nubya will play shows in Australia, Japan, and China. Tickets will be available on Friday the 18th HERE. 

Nubya Garcia’s upcoming tour will happen in the wake of her new opus, Odyssey (Concord Jazz). Featuring contributions from Georgia Anne Muldrow, Ritchie, and esperanza spalding, Odyssey further expands Nubya’s talents, incorporating her composing talents alongside her renowned saxophone playing. The music inspired features at The Cut, All Things Considered, and Stereogum while also garnering positive reviews from Pitchfork (8.0), Bandcamp (Album of the Day), and the New York Times.

Describing Odyssey, Garcia says; “It represents the notion of truly being on your own path, and trying to discard all the outside noise saying you should go this way or that way.” It’s also inspired by life’s ever-changing, ever-continuing adventure, the twists and turns of living. Musically, the album finds Garcia orchestrating strings for the first time, having fallen back in love with composition and then studying a vast array of orchestral sounds. The bigger, bolder result is a widescreen soundscape that traverses jazz, classical, R&B, and dub. Following Garcia’s widely celebrated and Mercury Music Prize nominated 2020 debut, Source, the forthcoming album Odyssey is available to stream and purchase here.
