Get ready for an unforgettable evening with Natalie Holmes as she brings her ‘Opposite Day’ Piano Tour to TOTNES ✨

Join us at the Barrel House for a night of soul-stirring songwriting: With her velvet voice, mesmerizing melodies and breath-catching lyrics, Natalie performs alongside violinist Boci, drifting between the venue’s real upright piano and her guitar.

Prepare for shivers as the real ivories entrance Natalie’s inner world and she gladly invites you in.

With her second full length record, Opposite Day, due for release in October 2025, Natalie expands on the experimental approach she began in her debut self-produced venture, Vitamin Be. The new album shifts between alt-pop dreamy soundscapes and analog wormholes, to convey the dizzying emotional highs and lows of today’s world. Inspired by artists like Caroline Polachek, Bon Iver, The Japanese House and Aurora, Opposite Day is a kaleidoscopic journey that delves into the spaces between love and loss, focusing less on what’s good or bad and more on the search for silver linings in an ever-shifting, chaotic landscape.

“I want Opposite Day to be both grounding and uprooting for people,” she says. “It’s about sometimes falling victim to the uncertainty, picking yourself back up again, and finding beauty in the madness of it all.”
