Loma + Shearwater

Loma and Shearwater share a bill at the Cathouse on Union Street in Glasgow. Both bands have roots in Austin, Texas, and both release records through Sub Pop.

Shearwater is an American indie rock and folk band from Austin, Texas, formed in 1999 by singer and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Meiburg, whose voice carries its melodic songs. Loma also has roots in Austin and is released by Sub Pop, the Seattle label that issues Shearwater's records too. Meiburg and engineer and producer Dan Duszynski feature in both groups, and Emily Cross provides the calm, enveloping voice at the heart of Loma.

Loma's self-titled debut in 2018 was followed by Don't Shy Away (2020) and How Will I Live Without A Body? (2023). Shearwater released Jet Plane and Oxbow in 2017, then The Great Awakening (2022) and The New World (2026). Neither group has played live since 2018, and this shared tour marks their return to the stage.

Dan Duszynski's solo project, Any Kind, opens the shows. The Cathouse, at 15 Union Street, is a Glasgow venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.
