LA-Based Americana-Vegan Artist Annette Conlon Announces 'Compassionette' Tour

L.A.-based singer/songwriter Annette Conlon is set to embark on her second Compassionette Tour of the South-East beginning September 1, 2017, spreading the word of her musical activism at many stops along the way.

Conlon will be performing songs from her critically-acclaimed debut solo album, Life, Death, and the Spaces Between, along with songs from her new album scheduled for release in 2018. "Part sweet, part dark, the songs show a view deep into Annette Conlon's soul. Her songs about compassion, social consciousness, human interaction, and animals are intended to make people think and to make a social statement." (Ed Simon, The Boise Beat) Says Conlon, "I am excited to share my love for animals and veganism, through music, with folks across the country and to show them how easy it is to live more compassionately, from what you eat, to what you wear, while helping folks make the connection that our animal friends are not food." This musical activism helps raise awareness of animal cruelty and factory farming and her tour helps elevate this awareness with sponsors in fashion and food.

The Compassionette Tour will wind through North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.

Husband Doug Conlon will accompany Annette on the tour, playing mandolin, banjo, and guitar, while providing background harmonies. Annette will be playing her Bedell Blackbird Vegan Parlor guitar and her Seagull Artist Studio Concert Hall guitar. Both instruments are made from sustainably-sourced woods and found tone-woods, and the Bedell is 100% vegan, containing no animal products. (Annette is endorsed by both Bedell and Seagull).
