Soul-stirring singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JAMIE LENA KERSLAKE offers audiences an intimate, early preview of her highly anticipated debut alt-folk record, The Ruins of an Over-Enthused Heart. The Ruins of an Over-Enthused Heart serves as a container for the compulsory human experience of examining and excavating old habits. Mixed and mastered by Nick Herrera (Emma Donovan, Danika, Nai Palm), this record is a gentle yet persistent unravelling of inherited beliefs about relationship, grief and politics.

In a bold defiance of modern streaming culture, the record will initially be available exclusively in the 3D: via vinyl, CD, and live performances. The album will be distributed to streaming platforms gradually over the next 12 months, but delivered first into the hands and ears of those willing to hold it in it’s entirety, prioritising deep, distraction-free, and in-person listening.

While the recorded album boasts gracious strings, full band arrangements, and sleek backing vocals, this tour brings each song back to its roots - just Jamie, her intricate guitar arrangements, and a voice likened to "milk and honey". Audiences will experience the tunes as they were written; at once a knife, a salve, and an elixir.
