Lucy Dacus has released a brand new song “Planting Tomatoes,” along with a lyric video filmed in Tokyo. Initially arriving as a limited edition Record Store Day exclusive 7” vinyl last weekend, ““Planting Tomatoes” is about making a sincere effort to stay present, grateful and interested on a day you realize you’re older than someone you’ve lost.”

The release of “Planting Tomatoes” follows the recent announcement of new North American live dates, including two symphony shows, one with the Chicago Philharmonic (at Millennium Park) and one with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra (at the Hollywood Bowl with Cat Power performing The Greatest). Both shows will feature never-before-heard orchestral arrangements of Dacus’ songs from her latest album Forever Is A Feeling and throughout her discography.

Dacus will hit the road for a spring tour, her largest tour to date, including stops in San Francisco, Vancouver, Chicago, Los Angeles, as well as festivals such as Outside Lands and Kilby Block Party. For each headlining show, Dacus will continue her partnership with The Ally Coalition (TAC) to ensure that $1 from every ticket sold will go to organizations serving queer and trans youth across North America.
