Saint Harison is having a breakout moment, and now he’s taking it on the road. The rising R&B artist has announced his North American headline tour, following the release of his ‘ghosted’ EP and a sold-out show at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
The run opens September 9 in Minneapolis and carries his acclaimed live show across the continent, with stops in Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and Denver before wrapping September 29 at the iconic Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. Artist presale starts Tuesday, June 10 at 10 am local time, with general on-sale Friday, June 12 at 10 am local time.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. This week the ‘ghosted’ standout single “bad” hit No. 1 at U.S. R&B Radio, the first chart-topper of Saint’s fast-rising career. The eight-track project widens the world he’s built over the past several years, weaving R&B, soul, indie, doo-wop, and pop together with the vulnerability and restraint that have become his signatures.
The EP plays like a journey through one emotional arc. Saint moves through longing, confusion, self-awareness, and acceptance with real intimacy, from the devastating piano balladry of “white to a wedding” to the sweeping doo-wop textures of “daffodil.” It’s some of his most lyrically open work, and it stamps him as one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary soul and R&B.
He’s clear-eyed about what went into it. Saint says he started writing the project right after “lost a friend” came out, calling it the most honest he’s ever been in his music. He talks about pouring the late nights, the tears, the overthinking, the healing, and the growth into these songs, describing each track as a piece of a chapter he had to live through before he could write it.
