Gibson said the shows, which will take place at the club 54below on August 18 and 21, will feature her performing the entire album “top to bottom just me and the piano, stories about the beginning of my career, and interacting with all of you in a super-intimate setting!”
In her live announcement video on Instagram , Gibson said the acoustic performance will include stories about being a teenager, trying to get a record deal, recording her first album, and more.
She will also try to perform tracks that didn’t end up making the album.
“I’ve been digging demos out of the garage,” she said.
