The voice that got us through some of the darkest times in 2020 is coming to life in Los Angeles. London-based musician and modern day poet, Arlo Parks has announced Los Angeles tour dates at the both the Echoplex and Moroccan Lounge. Arlo Parks will headline the Echoplex on Oct. 14 at the Moroccan Lounge and on Oct. 15 at the Echoplex.

In addition to Arlo Parks’ Los Angeles tour dates, she is set to play two New York shows in September before heading West in October. Tickets for all shows are on sale now via her website.  

Capturing the complexity of life, Arlo Parks (full name, Anaïs Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho) pens a universal narrative with her music. Though she’s just emerged onto the music scene, Parks is already one of the most sought after artist to see live in 20201. She writes with astounding clarity and has a keen sense of perception.

Parks has proven to be a rare creative storm of youthful courage and insight beyond her years. Though she herself has noted she’s no old soul or voice of a generation, for the past few years, she has garnered acclaim from critics and praise from fans for her music; a string of EPs that lend itself to the indie pop, trip hop, alt. rock, jazz, R&B variety. What pulls it all together is Parks’ innate singer/songwriter skills that feature thoughtful, well crafted lyrics steeped in reflection and self-expression.

Now, with her debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, Parks reveals a whole garden of impressionistic and straightforward observations. The result is a highly relatable album strengthened by its personal origins.

Most recently, Arlo Parks made her second appearance on late-night television last night with her performance of “Black Dog” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Black Dog” is the vulnerable masterpiece that first got our attention and had us instantly hooked on Arlo Parks.
