Bishop Briggs Debuts New Single “Dream”

Set To Release New Album In Spring 2018

North American Headlining Tour Including Shows with alt-J and Bleachers Underway

 

13 October 2017 (Toronto, ON) – Breakout alternative artist Bishop Briggs releases her brand new single, “Dream”, today through Teleport/Island Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. “Dream”, which was written by Bishop and Dan Wilson (Adele, Taylor Swift, John Legend), will be included on Bishop’s long-awaited debut album, due in Spring 2018. Listen to “Dream” HERE. 

"Dream" is unlike anything I've ever released. It was written with Dan Wilson who has never rested or settled on anything inauthentic. This song scares me and I think that's what I find most liberating about it. "Dream" is about having fears and doing your best to embrace them no matter how strenuous the grip is. – Bishop Briggs

Bishop’s 10-week tour includes eight Canadian dates opening for alt-J and Bleachers.  Please see details on tour dates below. For info on tickets and unique, limited VIP Tour Experiences, visit Bishop’s website.  

About Bishop Briggs:

Born in London to Scottish parents, Bishop Briggs grew up in Japan and Hong Kong. Days after graduating high school, she moved to Los Angeles where, after years of performing at any venue that would have her, she was discovered in a small hole-in-the-wall by a former-A&R rep and the rest was history. The music of Bishop Briggs transcends the limitations of singular genres, blending folk, pop and electronic music into a wholly unique sound. Her debut track “Wild Horses” reached #1 on Spotify's Canadian Viral Chart and #2 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 charts, with airplay on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation, Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Show and a prized spot in Acura’s 2016 TLX and ESPN’s NFL Playoffs ads. She followed up with gold certified single, “River,” a searing and cathartic track that has captured the attention of tastemakers and gatekeepers and rose to #3 on the Alternative chart with over 40 million global streams. Fresh off her sold out debut headlining tour, her critically acclaimed self-titled Bishop Briggs EP release, and live performance opening slots for Coldplay, Kaleo and alt-J, Bishop Briggs is one of 2017’s biggest breakout artists. She has performed on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (watch that performance HERE), NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers (watch that performance HERE), TBS’ Conan, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! (watch that performance with Cold War Kids HERE).
