Folk singer-songwriter Clara Benin has added more dates to her on-going tour for her latest album, befriending my tears.
Benin kicked off the tour last December 16 with a sold-out show in Studio Simula, Cubao, Quezon City. Since then, she has added dates for 2024, which starts on January 6 at Guijo Studios in Makati, with stops in Quezon City, Mandaluyong, Pasig, and Muntinlupa.
In an Instagram post capping off the kick-off show, she wrote, “befriending my tears tour leg 1, done! Thank you for coming!! Happy Holidays and hope to see you all again next year for the rest of the tour!”
Pre-sale tickets are priced at P600, while walk-ins can avail of admission for P700. Tickets for the rest of her tour are now available via her website. Check it out here.
Official merchandise will also be available over the course of the tour, and are now open for pre-orders via her website. Among the items up for sale are a t-shirt, custom coffee beans and drip coffee made in collaboration A Slow Life Coffee, and a coffee mug.
Benin’s album was part of Billboard Philippines’ picks for the top albums and EPs of the year. In an extensive review, we wrote, “befriending my tears marks a transition into a newer, richer, and hauntingly beautiful heavier and ambient sound. Though transitions in genres aren’t new in the music industry, what makes Benin’s album a cut above the rest is the fact that she marries the aspects of the sound she is known for with her new musical influences. The result is a seamless listening experience that draws in new audiences but also keep its connection with long-time fans. As a whole, the record is a great reintroduction to the singer-songwriter.”
