IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello everyone, Eliza here. It’s with deep sadness that we have to announce the postponement of the ‘Make It Feel Like The Garden’ Australian Tour.

Last week, I sustained an injury to my left hand, resulting in an emergency surgery, four screws and a plate. The doctors have advised that this next few weeks are crucial for the recovery if I’m play to guitar ever again.

With that, we’ve sadly made the decision to move the album tour to a later time while I recover and do rehabilitation so I’m able to play guitar in the future. The guys and I have worked incredibly hard to put together our best show yet for you all, and we want to be able to still do that for you.

Due to the nature of venue availability and scheduling, the album tour is now happening across Jan/Feb 2025. All of your tickets will still be valid for the new dates, and you’ll be able to get a refund from the place of purchase if necessary.

I want to say thank you so much to my bandmates and our entire team for being compassionate and understanding of this disappointing situation, the surgeons for taking care of me, and a huge thank you to all of you for supporting our new record and buying tickets to our tour.

The whole situation has been heartbreaking as we were so excited to celebrate the release of the album with you all, but I promise it will be worth the wait!
Eliza x
