British artist A.A. Williams – long praised for her compelling interplay of fragility and force, delicacy and weight – has been confirmed as the support act for gothic singer‑songwriter Chelsea Wolfe on her forthcoming European tour dates (full itinerary below).
Currently on the road touring with A Perfect Circle, and fresh from performing selections from her striking new full‑length Solstice (out now on Reigning Phoenix Music) at a series of intimate acoustic in‑store shows across the UK, Williams now brings her ethereal elegance and jarring power to venues across the continent.
Solstice (for more details, follow the links HERE) stands as A.A. Williams' most powerful work to date – a collection shaped by extremes of light and shadow, heaviness and fragility, devastation and renewal. Thunderous peaks, hushed lows and vivid emotional shifts unfold across a body of work that feels at once deeply personal and cinematic in scope. Link
