KEN STRINGFELLOW - CIRCUIT BREAKER TOUR 2025

"An artist worthy of respect and a listen from any true fan of classic pop… uniformly flawless" - Pitchfork
"Stringfellow is one of the most underrated songwriters of our generation" -Billboard
"Stringfellow’s clear, composed croon forgives all sins" - Rolling Stone
"Lush pop perfection" - Mojo

Ken Stringfellow, singer and co-founder of Seattle indie rock band The Posies, also known for his work with R.E.M., Big Star, Lagwagon, Neil Young and countless others, brings his most intense and personal work with CIRCUIT BREAKER, his 5th solo album, his first in over a decade, to perform in New Zealand - 20 years since his last solo appearance here.

CIRCUIT BREAKER is a journey from deconstruction to reconstruction, from death to life. It explores themes of betrayal and forgiveness, rebirth and renewal, and the overcoming of any adversity. Ultimately it is an album about how we heal.

CIRCUIT BREAKER is for anyone who finds themselves at a crossroads, unsure of where to go next; for anyone who is in need of finding hope and solace in a world seemingly fixated on cruelty; for anyone whose healing process has just begun, has yet to start or is finally behind them.

Ken's solo shows are known for the emotional intensity, their intimacy, and their musicality. Simply presented on guitar and piano, with Ken's voice capable of soothing whispers and powerful cries...the show is powerful and captivating, yet also gentle and mesmerising. In addition to songs from all five of his solo albums, he'll certainly warm up songs from The Posies, Big Star, and other of his many collaborations over the last 5 decades of his career.
