Tours and other news

Hello, below I have written all the dates that I will be playing so far for 2026;

Beginning on January 21st through the UK and USA finishing on February 23rd in Chicago. I’m delighted to have Hoy Chorale (Family Time), Jasper Llewellyn (Caroline), Evelyn Grey (Tapir) and Myer U Clark (The Scuttlers) join me in the UK and the brilliant Mildred will be joining me on the US run (taking me in their van).

I’ll be touring the UK as a duo first half with Jack Ogborne (Bingo Fury and The Cindy’s) and the second half with Oliver Hamilton (Caroline and Shovel Dance Collective).

There’s a lot of names there but if you have time and love good music I emplore you to check out all of these brilliant musicians work. Mildred has an album coming out soon on memorials of distinction records. The Cindy’s also have a record coming out on November the 7th with Breakfest records.

I’ll be selling merch along the way which is available to buy online now at naimabock.com (we got black, white and pink T’s as well as casettes and other stuff) this helps enormously on these tours as it is (obviously) extremeeeeeeeeeeely expensive. On this note, if anyone has places for us to crash for a night in the states this would be met with much gratitude and a breakfast prepared for you by yours truly and mildred.

Takeaways / tasks for you

  1. come to the shows & buy tickets early before they run out

  2. get a t-shirt if you fancy it

  3. listen to Hoy Chorale, Jasper Llewellyn, The Cindy’s, Evelyn Grey, Myer U Clark and Mildred.

  4. anywhere for us to sleep in the places we’re staying in the US would mean we can actually go :)

Also a big thank you to everyone who came to the shows in London, Cardiff and Bristol this week. You all made it very special.
