An Evening With PJ Harvey, September 18
The fall concert calendar has a new holiday entry, as PJ Harvey is set to return to Boston for the artist’s first North American tour in seven years. An Evening With PJ Harvey, as it’s perfectly billed, lands at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on September 18, in support of last summer’s I Inside the Old Year Dying album. And with the tour announcement comes a new video for the record’s “Seem an I,” directed by Colm Bairéad and starring actor Ruth Wilson. Harvey has this to say about it: “Ruth and I became friends after working together on Clio Barnard’s film Dark River. I have always greatly admired Ruth’s work as an actor, so had long harbored a dream that we might work together again in some way. When the opportunity to work with Colm Bairéad came up I knew him to be a director Ruth thought highly of, as I did, so it felt right to ask her if she would star in the film. I find the resulting short film beautiful and moving for having Ruth’s magical presence, and Colm’s unique vision.” Tickets go on sale Friday (March 1) at 10 a.m. local time.
