“Having spent the last few months deep diving into the writing for my upcoming album, I’m super excited to begin sharing the new material on one of my favourite stages,” Allen said.

“Andrew is a true live performer with an exceptional voice, incredible songs, some serious live looping chops and limitless energy… not to mention a spatter of comic wit and storytelling ability that helps create a dynamic and interactive live show. He is definitely an artist that embodies the term ‘live,” Courts said.
