Jay Som kicks off her 52-date headline tour on October 16 at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, the perfect launchpad for an artist who turned bedroom pop into a full-blown emotional export. From there, she’ll sweep through cities like Boston, Atlanta, Portland, and Chicago, making it increasingly difficult to pretend you have other fall plans.

The shows promise all the classics: echoing guitars, layered harmonies, fans silently weeping into their sleeves, and merch tables that ruin your budget. And honestly, what more could you want?

The album also ropes in some heavy hitters. Hayley Williams of Paramore makes an appearance, alongside Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World and Lexi Vega from Mini Trees. It's basically a sad indie Avengers lineup. And judging by early singles like "Float" and "A Million Reasons Why," you're going to cry, smile, cry again, then hit replay.

If you're only going to catch one show, make it November 21. That’s when Jay Som hits Red Rocks Amphitheatre, aka the place where sound, sky, and sobbing converge. The natural acoustics are stunning. The setting is dramatic. And yes, you will feel things you’ve buried since 2017.

You’ll probably leave with a blurry photo, a spiritual crisis, and a tote bag. So, mission accomplished.

Belong isn’t just music, it’s the kind of sonic therapy that makes you reflect on every decision you've made since high school. It’s lush, raw, and unapologetically moody. Duterte pours herself into every track, with songs that feel like voicemails from your past self, only with better production.

If you’re into indie rock that knows exactly where your emotional weak spots are, this is your fall soundtrack. For tickets, tour dates, and what’s left of your emotional stability, visit jaysommusic.com.
