Alessia Cara @ TLA 1/23

One of 2015’s breakthrough artists, Alessia Cara has announced an upcoming tour in support of her debut album. The tour and the album, both dubbed Know-It-All. At only 19 years, she’s having an amazing year, more recently playing Philly as part of the Jingle Ball Tour (with other huge names like Selena Gomez and Calvin Harris). Cara was also part of the pre-show at Xfinity Live.

But if you happened to miss that event, you can catch her at a less teen-marketed show. She’ll be making an appearance at The TLA on January 23rd and she’ll be bringing along special guests Kevin Garrett and Craig Strickland. The “Here” singer (and Canadian) will kick off her tour on January 15th up north with stops in Montreal and Toronto before making her way to the states on the 22nd.

“Here” debuted on The FADER and was an instant success, having already accumulated 500,000 streams in the first week. It made it’s way onto must listen lists by the likes of SpinComplex, and Cosmopolitan. It also made Rolling Stone’s  list of 50 best songs of the year. So you’ll definitely want to catch her at a smaller-scale venue like The TLA while you still can! Roc Nation signee, Kevin Garrett will be joining her on her upcoming tour. Garrett most recently toured with X Ambassadors. Take a listen to his single, “Refuse,” below.
