Halie Loren is thrilled to announce that she is returning to perform at Cotton Club Tokyo on May 24, 25 and 26 with a series of concerts in celebration of her brand new album, Dreams Lost and Found(released by JVC Kenwood and Justin Time Records on April 12, 2024). Tickets on sale now at https://www.cottonclubjapan.co.jp/
In her first Japan concerts since 2018, Halie will be performing songs from her new album and audience favorites from her past repertoire with an international band, including album recording band members Taurey Butler (piano) and Morgan Moore (bass) from Canada, as well as U.K.-based Femi Temowo (guitar) and Montreal musician Louis-Vincent Hamel (drums).
This collection of songs explores themes of longing, seeking, and seeing with new eyes — the falling away of old illusions and outgrown desires, finding new visions for love and life, allowing some dreams to die to make space for new dreams to be born.
The album captures the live essence of her music, that has led to tours and performances for audiences worldwide. The 14-song effort sees Halie lend her take on standards, originals, and her personal favorites.
Halie adds: “This album marks my return to a more jazz-oriented musical sound, but forged in a completely new environment of creativity (quite literally, in that I traveled to Montreal to record for the first time) that brought my improvisational spirit to the forefront—in no small part inspired by collaborating with masterful musicians Taurey Butler on piano, Morgan Moore on bass, Sam Kirmayer on Guitar, and Jim Doxas on drums. Though I have performed for years with most of these amazingly talented people, we’ve never before recorded together… to me, it was like we were dancing on the edge of the unknown when creating these songs. It felt very alive in the moment, and I think that comes through the music”

This month, the annual Nature of Gratitude event is returning yet again to Tsunami Books in Eugene, OR on Sunday, November 12, and making its way to Corvallis, OR for its debut at the Corvallis Public Library on Wednesday, November 15. Featuring music and readings by an array of Oregonian creatives — including musicians Halie Loren, Beth Wood, Don Latarski, and Heather Hutton, as well as spoken word poetry by Jorah LaFleur and readings by authors Tom Titus, Eric Alan, and others — these events center themes of “gratitude” from complex perspectives… sometimes funny, sometimes gritty, often tender, and always deeply human.
For more information about each event, visit the Shows page.
After the Nature of Gratitude wraps up on November 12 in Eugene, there will be an evening concert event featuring two of its participants: Halie Loren and Beth Wood.
