Del Water Gap: Chasing the Chimera World Tour

This event is General Admission Standing Room on the Floor, and Reserved Seated in the Balcony.

DEL WATER GAP

Del Water Gap is the project of New York-based singer, songwriter, and producer S. Holden Jaffe. Since emerging in 2020 with his breakout single “Ode To A Conversation Stuck In Your Throat,” which earned RIAA Gold certification, he has built a devoted following through his 2021 self-titled debut and 2023’s I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet. With nearly half a billion Spotify streams and acclaim from Vogue, Rolling Stone, GQ, Interview, and The Cut, Del Water Gap has headlined sold-out shows worldwide, supported Niall Horan and Halsey on arena tours, and co-headlined the Greek Theatre. On his third album, Chasing The Chimera (Mom + Pop Music, November 7), he reconnected with old friend and collaborator Gabe Goodman as well as producer and instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson (Roger Waters, Conor Oberst, Father John Misty). Across its twelve tracks, the album traces the arc of self-discovery in all of its messy beauty – the journey of a narrator in flux, fighting the pull of his self-destructive impulses; a romantic with a god problem, longing for clarity, forgiveness, and a version of adulthood that doesn’t feel like surrender.

HANNAH JADAGU

On Describe, Hannah Jadagu learns the hard way that distance is relative. Soon after the release of her acclaimed 2023 debut Aperture, Jadagu temporarily moved to California to work on its follow-up. Jadagu’s second album sees her grappling with that distance, exploring connections that extend beyond the physical and strengthening her voice in the process. Working with producer Sora Lopez in Altadena and remotely with Aperture co-producer Max Baby out of Paris, Jadagu carved out a sound that is both distinctively hers and a total departure from the distorted guitar melodies of her debut.

“My Love” is emblematic of that sonic shift: Opening with an effervescent synth, the song is at once euphoric and reserved, combining Jadagu’s diaphanous vocals and the heartbeat of a kick drum. “Gimme Time” is a softer turn for Jadagu, layering an electric piano atop lyrics about growing in the absence of creature comforts. “Doing Now” undulates with her hypnotic vocals; “Normal Today” thrums with icy industrialism that melts into pizzicato violins. Jadagu’s honeyed vocals seem to come from all angles, narrator of her own transformation.

Throughout Describe, Jadagu pairs melodies down to their essence. She fittingly closes with “Bergamont,” combining Jadagu’s most brutally honest lyrics and a layered synth that conjures a cleansing breath. On Describe, Jadagu is searching for the words to describe the truth, on her terms, relishing in the uncertainty in that journey.
