Album News:
‘No Rain. No Flowers.’
Release date – 6th September ‘24.
At the start of 2023, behind closed doors, it wasn’t certain if Bare Jams would be able to continue. However, instead of throwing in the towel, it was through a cathartic writing process that the Bare Jams ship was steered into fresh and exciting waters, giving way to their second album “No Rain. No Flowers.” All written in a relatively short burst at the start of 2023, the album has an overall theme of keeping loved ones close, looking after them, and, more broadly, perseverance.
With this album, Bare Jams show they are not afraid to take on the serious challenges we all face. The music echoes with perpetual hope, acknowledging that listeners can always turn things around and find their way through the mire. Looking at the world around us, this positive reinforcement is perhaps what we all need to hear. Don’t go numb!
Touring:
- Extensive touring schedule, 2 seasonal tours per year, and festivals:
- Spring tour 2024 – 15 dates including Cardiff, Manchester, Bath, Sheffield, Southampton.
- 10-date Autumn Album tour 2024 – Dates including SWX (1000 cap) in Bristol, Tolhuistuin (500 cap hosted by Paradiso) in Amsterdam, and Oslo (350 cap) in London.
