Aussie singer-songwriter Ali Barter has announced a whole bunch of tour dates. No, you’re not reading that wrong, but the twist is that instead of venues, she’ll be performing from each of the rooms of her own house.
Kicking off on April 23, Barter is playing 10 shows across 10 nights, starting off with the bedroom and making her way through the different rooms.
The stream kicks off at 6pm each night, with venues including study, pantry, hallway and kitchen, before she makes her way through the staircase (oooooh), the bathroom, laundry, living room and dining room.
“I’m GOING ON TOUR…. around my house!” she announced. “Kicking off this Thurs, 23rd April I’ll be sharing a live song from different rooms in my house.”

The best part is that each night we’ll see a different song which will then be released as a live version, before Barter ends things by uploading a 10-track live album at the end of the tour.
The street will take place on Instagram TV and YouTube each night.

It’s the second project Ali Barter has undertaken since being in social isolation, after she recently teamed up with her boyfriend Oscar Dawson from Holy Holy to write a song in 24 hours called ‘Four Days’.
All proceeds from the tune are going to the COVID-19 emergency appeal. “”The crisis is having a massive effect on the music industry and especially the folks involved in touring – session musos, roadies, sound engineers who literally can’t work now,” said the pair.
“Support Act is the best way to get much needed funds and assistance to those people. Super happy to put something out there to make people smile and raise some money!”

Speaking with Tone Deaf last year about her debut album Hello, I’m Doing My Best, Barter said she loves how music can help you understand your own emotions better.
“That’s one of my favourite things about music, that people can take these really ugly emotions and put them out into the ether and you kind of think to yourself, “I’m not really as bad as I think I am because there’s this really great person who does really great things and they’ve just written about how everything is okay..”
