Nashville songwriter and musician Sophie Allison has announced her fourth album Evergreen and a Dublin show.
Allison releases the new single today ‘Driver’ , after recent singles ‘Lost’ and ‘M’, and news comes also of a Foggy Notions-presented show at Vicar Street in Dublin as part of the EU tour, hot on the heels of a North American tour.
That means Soccer Mommy shows on the road for four months, with the Dublin show taking place at Vicar Street Dublin on Sunday 11th May 2025.
Tickets €30 plus fees on sale Friday September 13th at 10am. Presale is tomorrow Wednesday 11th through the promoter email list.
Full dates for Europe, UK and North America below.
Evergreen is out October 25th.
Allison began her career as a teenager, sharing music on Bandcamp in near-demo form. Recent years have found her enjoying synthesizers and experimental production, thanks to endless studio resources newly at her fingertips. But when Allison wrote the songs for Evergreen, she knew they called for a different touch. Songwriting has always been Allison’s way to sort through life and ground herself, so – as she crafted this album in the wake of a profound and personal loss – it felt important to keep these songs raw and relatable, unvarnished and honest. By opting for more organic production and shining a spotlight on her songwriting, Allison did just that. The result is Evergreen, a sonic return to Soccer Mommy’s roots, but recast on a cinematic scale with the help of acoustic guitars, lush strings and flutes. Nothing overindulgent, everything real.
Evergreen was made by Allison in Atlanta’s Maze Studios with producer Ben H. Allen III (Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Youth Lagoon, Belle and Sebastian), and will be released on October 25th via Loma Vista Recordings.
