I loved my life
milked it for everything it could give
crashed and thought I'd lost it all
lost myself, became a
stranger to myself
wrote a record
wept those wild, lapping flames to coal
and through grief and courage
stepped into a new world
Laura 2.0
and now I fucking love my life again

I'll bet this pattern repeats
of love, loss, and love again
but next time I'll know I can do it
because I've done it once before

Tomorrow stands to be one of the most emotionally important shows I've ever played. Months of planning, and all the stress and tears that come along with it have led up to this moment. But today, I feel a strange sense of calm. All the anxieties about creating the perfect experience have washed away and now I surrender myself to the passage of time. There is no more room for hyper-fixating on every little thing. I am just here in the moment, letting it come as it will.

Your “we should go see something” text has a plan now.

HATCH brings music, dance and visual art to Festival Hall tomorrow night, alongside Laura Hickli’s album launch.

It is the kind of evening where you can hear something new, see something unexpected and spend time in a room with Calgary artists making work right now.

Doors at 7 PM. Show at 7:30 PM.

Who is your friend who will try something different with you?
