NorCal indie, avant-folk artist Gillian Grogan returns to Cambridge on the Bloom Or Bust Tour this summer to share new music and launch the Kickstarter campaign for her newly mixed sophomore record, Honey Moon. Will it get funded? Or will it bust? With thirty-seven shows from Boston back to the Bay by the end of August, they’re sure to find out.

Weaving together little strands of folk, indie, rock, soul and nature itself into a sonic landscape “unlike anything else you’ve heard in ‘folk’ music today” (Ear To The Ground), the forthcoming Honey Moon explores questions without answers, love without purpose, and chords without resolve. It embraces readiness without preparation, vulnerabilities without judgement, and seeks to release the present from the past. It is a collection of songs and interludes that speak to a single truth—that it is our flaws which make us most beautiful, just as it is the dust and pollution in the earth’s atmosphere which casts a warm amber hue on the moon at the horizon, as it rises, as it falls, and rises again.

Pairs well with massive vistas, bustling gardens, light mischief, hope and traveling alone.
