On April 14th, 2023, Shannon Lay will release the nine-song Covers Vol. 1worldwide on all DSPs through Sub Pop. Following the release of Lay’s version of “Angeles,” by Elliott Smith, comes her beguiling cover of the famed Nick Drake song, “From The Morning.”
Lay shares this about the song: “When I decided to do a covers record, I knew I had to pay tribute to Nick Drake. Pink Moon is one of those records I never get tired of listening to. I chose two songs from it, “From the Morning” and “Horn.” The combo felt really nice, and doing a little John Fahey treatment on “Horn” ended up bringing it into this lovely realm of goodness. Nick Drake left this earth far too soon, but he lives on in his amazing songs. I hope somewhere, somehow, he knows how influential he is. Anytime, any mood, Nick Drake always hits just right. “
Starting today, Lay will embark on an 8-date run opening for Whitney in Denver, CO, with additional shows in Salt Lake City, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco, ending on March 30th in her home city of Los Angeles. She will head overseas in April, playing headline shows in France, Manchester, Bristol, and London with performances at Sound & Vision Festival in Cambridge, UK, and Roots of Heaven Festival in Haarlem, NL.

Multitalented British vocalist and songwriter Suki Waterhouseunveils a new track, “To Love,” today—listen and watch the visualizer here. The new song was produced by Jules Apollinaire and Natalie Findlay of the duo TTRRUUCES, who produced Suki’s hit single “Good Looking,” and mixed by Alan Moulder (Beach House, Interpol, Wet Leg).
Suki recently wrapped her Coolest Place in the World Tour, a run of North American headline dates with sold-out stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and more. The tour celebrated the release of her Milk Teeth EP—which features songs from Suki’s early career—and her Brad Cook-produced (The War On Drugs, Bon Iver) debut album, I Can’t Let Go, both released in 2022 via Sub Pop.
Additionally, Suki went on a North American tour with Father John Misty in 2022 following the release of I Can’t Let Go, which included stops at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery, New York’s Radio City Music Hall and more.
Suki also stars as Karen Sirko in “Daisy Jones & The Six,” the new Amazon television miniseries based on the popular book by Taylor Jenkins Reid premiering today.
Growing up in London, multitalented actress, model and musician Suki Waterhouse gravitated toward music at an early age, finding inspiration in the likes of Alanis Morisette, Missy Elliott, Oasis and more. She initially teased her pivot to music with a series of singles, generating nearly 20 million total streams independently, with critical acclaim from NYLON, DuJour, Lemonade Magazine and more. In 2022, her song “Good Looking” went viral on TikTok and peaked at #1 on Spotify’s Viral USA Chart, accumulating more than 700 thousand streams daily across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music at its peak. That same year, Suki unveiled her debut album, I Can’t Let Go, and a follow up EP, Milk Teeth, via Sub Pop to critical acclaim, toured the world over and shared new music, such as, “Nostalgia,” which arrived alongside a video directed by Émilie Richard-Froozan.
