Young Friends hit North American tour with ‘New Entertainment’

Drew Tavares Pivots to Band Mentality with Sophomore Album Release and North American Tour

Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Drew Tavares is ready to shake up the music scene with his sophomore full-length album under the young friend moniker. The new release arrives on November 6, marking an exciting evolution for the artist who is clearly shedding old habits and embracing a new, collaborative creative approach.

This follow-up project builds upon the momentum of last year’s work, which introduced Tavares to the sounds of motorcycle sound effects. Now, he is channeling that energy into a more cohesive, band-first mentality, suggesting a shift from isolated studio work to a more dynamic, collaborative creative life.

The new material is set to be supported by an ambitious North American tour schedule. Tavares has announced a few stops, bringing the new sound directly to audiences in both Canada and the United States in November.

The tour kicks off with a hometown celebration, featuring a gig at the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver on November 3. From there, the journey takes him across the continent:

• November 25: Los Angeles, CA at The Echo
• November 27: New York, NY at Nightclub 101
• November 28: Toronto, ON at The Baby G

Fans looking to catch the young friend experience can secure tickets now. This heartland rocker is a must-see event for anyone interested in new sounds and evolving songwriting, and more information about upcoming Canadian shows can be found on Concert Central.
