Vanyaland’s small corner of the Northeast is currently on flood and tornado watch as a summer storm makes its way through the region, so it’s only fitting that we feel warm glowing allure of Soccer Mommy’s fresh cover of Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up The Sun.”
Sophie Allison released her cover of the feels-like-it’s from-the-’90s-but-it-actually-came-out-in-2002 classic earlier today (July 27), ahead of a a tour kickoff with Maggie Rogers tonight in New York City and a handful of shows in our area: Sunday at Prescott Park Arts Festival in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and shows Monday and Tuesday opening for Rogers at Thompson’s Point in Portland, Maine.
Covering Crow should comes as no surprise for Allison’s indie rock project, as last year she told the New York Times: “She has so many songs that are these massive hits that, at least for someone my age, you can’t have grown up and not heard those songs. She has a knack for saying something hard, but making it feel like she’s ready to acknowledge it and be cool with this hard acceptance.”
Damn the weather outside and soak up Soccer Mommy’s sun, and check out all her upcoming North American dates below.
