(Boston) GRAMMY-nominated Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey is heading back to Boston with her “Bewitched: The Goddess Tour.” Her first show on May 7, 2024 at the Boch Center Wang Theatre already sold out in presale. Now she has added a second show on May 8. The pair of shows marks the Berklee School of Music grad’s first trip to Boston since her album, Bewitched, was nominated for the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album Grammy. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 8 at 10:00 am at BochCenter.org.
The Boston show follows Laufey’s completely sold out North American tour this fall and
UK/European tour next February/March in celebration of her critically acclaimed album Bewitched. The album, which was released in September, broke the record as the biggest debut for a jazz album on Spotify in history, and debuted at #2 on Spotify’s Global and U.S. Album Charts, as well as #23 on the Billboard 200 (just behind the debuts from Olivia Rodrigo, and V from BTS), #1 on Billboard’s Independent Albums Chart, #1 on Current Traditional Jazz Albums Chart. The album’s hit single “From The Start” is now RIAA-certified GOLD in the U.S., as well as GOLD in Australia and Canada.
Los Angeles-based Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) was raised between Reykjavík and Washington, D.C. with annual visits to Beijing. In 2020, while still a student at Berklee College of Music, Laufey released her debut single “Street by Street,” which went on to top the Icelandic radio charts. In 2022, she released her debut full-length, Everything I Know About Love, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Alternative New Artist Album chart, featuring the popular track “Valentine” that peaked at #1 on the Spotify Jazz Chart. Today, she has over 1 billion streams across all platforms and is the biggest streaming artist from Iceland in the world.
