In support of his recently-released Def Jam Recordings debut, Sidharth, Sid Sriram has announced a world tour with shows spanning North America, the UK, and Europe.
Sid’s shows have already built a reputation for excellence on the back of his recent performances at Wembley Arena in London, The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, and his recent US run in support of Bon Iver. Tickets for the Sidharth World Tour are available this Friday, October 13 at 10AM local time in each market.
Sid’s world tour announcement is accompanied by a moving live performance of “Dear Sahana,” a highlight from Sidharth, taken from his sold out July show at The Roxy Theatre. The performance underscores Sid’s inimitable vocal prowess and masterful band that he first showcased earlier this year as part of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert.
Office Magazine recently featured Sid Sriram in an article that delves deep into the cross-cultural excavation of self that is embodied in his album and American Songwriter also recognized Sid Sriram’s excellence, speaking to the ways in which Sidharth is a one-of-a-kind album.
Released at the tail-end of August, Sidharth is an identity-confronting project framed by Sid’s moving vocalizations and experimental production that tows the line of genres such as R&B, indie rock, and American pop, that surrounded him growing up as an immigrant kid in Fremont, CA, in the 90s and 2000s.
The album’s creation process was unlike any other he had undertaken before, with a significant difference being that the vocals are delivered in English. In the summer of 2021, he took a leap of faith and hopped on a plane to Minneapolis to work with producer Ryan Olson (Poliça, Gayngs, Bon Iver), whom he had previously only met on Instagram.
The project was recorded during an intense week in the studio, with most of the songs being tracked live by a small team of Olson’s associates, including Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, a longtime inspiration for Sid. Sid’s sincerity and passion bleed through his recordings, offering a one-of-a-kind, compelling live performance fit for the world stage.
