Tash Sultana - North America | Tour Diary Part 1

[@skylarnichols77]

Tash, your music has completely revolutionized my life and my perspective of it. Your fans in America have been waiting a very long time to watch you preform your magic on stage and I find that it was very audacious of you to succeed with such a large task without breaking. I flew from Atlanta to Cleveland (my hometown) to see you live with my mother and grandmother and was boarding my flight when we got the news of cancellation. I was selfish and upset without even thinking about the state your mind and body were in. I think it's common for consumers to forget what it's like to be an artist and what you go through to express yourself, let alone share it with the world - it is nothing but a laborious mission. I want to commend you for your effort to show this country what you're made of and share your captivating talents. While seeing you live was one of my only desires in my lifetime, it hurts to watch you go through such distress trying to gratify everyone else's wants. Your music has taught me a lot and I just want to say thank you for showing up and showing out, not for me but my neighbor. I hope to catch you next time. xo

[@CodyBWorld]

beautiful, beautiful words 🙏

[@aylahale8927]

I love you . I’m so sorry you’re feeling weighed down and homesick , so proud of you for all you do and overcome and your honesty

[@doctordelatierra]

Tash your music helped me out of the darkest period of my life. A couple of years ago I was in the military, and I hated every second of it. Then my dad died three months after a cancer diagnosis one month before I deployed. When I came back from that deployment I was so tired. I didn't want to be alive anymore. Every morning when I would wake up I would make coffee and sit there in my barracks room watching your music videos. Without fail for those months, that year, however long that depression lasted no matter what I would at least watch the music videos for Cant Buy Happiness, Free Mind, and the live version of Pink Moon from the show you did in Amsterdam a few years back. Those three songs were my safety blanket. I might have hated my job, my leadership might have treated me like shit, my dad might've just died but I had music - as long as I listened to those songs I knew I was going to make it through the day. Your music quite literally saved my life - Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! In that live performance of Pink Moon you gave a little life wisdom talk before you began playing. You said, "I know how you feel. And, a little bit of knowledge that I've learned from trying to deal with myself is that, what I realised is, sometimes when I'm stuck in this headspace that I think I would literally rather be dead is that it's just a frame of mind. And frames of mind, they all shift. Everything in your life is flux. Sometimes it is just a bad day, or a comedown, or a hangover, or a shitty break-up, or a shitty job, or a shitty day, or someone said something that really fuckin fucked with ya,. Can be a shitty day, shitty week, shitty month, shitty year... But, we're all alive right now so... you win in the end." I know you can get past whatever it is that you've been dealing with recently because the part of you where your music comes from healed the darkness within me. All the Love Tash. Cant wait to see the show in Pomona.

[@stephanieb8571]

My husband and I saw you in Chicago and we were blown away by the whole show! It was a beautiful experience that I will remember all my life. Thanks for being you!

[@donfavro1944]

I just can't see how anyone in THE WORLD is more under rated and under appreciated than she is, as a singer, song writer and musician??? Only 977 likes for this video, in a week? Impossible.

[@amandafarrington967]

I saw you in Portland & Boston last week. The energy you gave was absolutely incredible and not at all indicative of the shit you'd been going through. Thank you for being open & sharing all of this and for stretching yourself extremely thin for us. Your performances/music/outlook on the world have literally changed my life. Something you said in Boston has stuck with me - "A lot changes when you decide to change. And sometimes we think that we are being buried by our problems, but we are being planted." Please remember that if you ever do need to take a step back, you'll have our support. In the meanwhile, keep rocking, Tash. Side note: what was the song playing at 9:02? I loved hearing it live and can't find it anywhere.

[@doctordelatierra]

That song at 9:02 is a transition during the live version of Big Smoke. If you listen closely you can hear that base line going in the background.

[@amandafarrington967]

@@doctordelatierra I figured it might be, but they performed it for such a long time I was hoping it might be it's own song. I absolutely love the creepy undertones

[@doctordelatierra]

@@amandafarrington967 Yeah I have no clue what it is that Tash is doing to get those sounds, but at the red rocks show it sounded to me like the 'lyrics' i guess you would call it of that transition were saying "out of my head" and then just drowning it in effects and other electronic stuff. Huge fan of whatever it is as well.

[@SimplyBeauty13]

I also went to the Boston show and when she said that I wrote it down in my notes. It really stuck with me.

[@ScreamxBlackk]

Dude I put all my friends on to you I saw you in NYC , what an incredible show you put on . Absolutely a spectacle 🫶

[@IndigoRoses7]

Been listening to your tiny desk concert all morning..how lovely to see a new video from you today!! My dream is to see Tash live in concert, for now.. these videos work 😃

[@jenkuli21]

Massive respect and kudos to you Tash for going through this and still selflessly creating such an incredible experience for the people. Don’t ever doubt your worth or the impact you have. Feel the fear, do it anyway, but always take care of you.

[@mayasingh1329]

Tash! It was surreal to see you and Josh in NYC. You exhibit a great amount of mental fortitude and it is inspiring- thank you so much for pioneering on and putting on such sick shows!!

[@megansmith2225]

Saw you in Red rocks and still to this day one of THE BEST shows I have ever been to! I can't wait to see you again!!!

[@charlesharris2749]

One of the few artists today that great artists of my day in the 70's really have nothing on. Happy Trails, Tash Sultana!

[@camilleguiden]

so much love for this human ❤️

[@MrJodydingman]

Really glad you filmed this and posted it! Love to see it! ❤

[@savannam.1458]

so much love and appreciation for you tash! incredible perseverance and strength

[@SandyZieglerVids]

I'll be missing you tomorrow (8th) in Ottawa, but will blasting your vids on KZbin, all day and night. You are a joy to the rest of us humans.

[@mellecorriveau]

Love this! I hope you are feeling better now and if not, that you recover fast! 🌻 We love you, thank you for showing up and sharing your art with us. You make this world a better place without even noticing it. 🖤✨

[@rippinndatearing9153]

Thank you so much! Sorry about your personal tribulations life sucks. Your philly show was amazing. Josh got a new fan in my wife. Please take care of your family and yourself. And if you can add one more philly show next tour that would be great traveling to DC sucks.

[@lamardobbins2569]

I just started watching videos but I love your music I listen to it while I meditate

[@shiannehiatt1192]

The Utah show was so amazing Tash 🙌🏼 thank you for absolutely blessing my ears

[@jkaustok]

I really respect you Tash as you have that energy where you put effort into being an actual genuine person. It's stupid hard to find.

[@MiguelSanchez-ul6cz]

I got to see Tash on my Bday06-12@ Red Rocks. I traveled from New Mexico to see her perform and it was the best gift ever!! Ty Tash I love you!!!

[@doctordelatierra]

Red Rocks was fucking insane.

[@Musicviberrr]

The way tash can rip shows being extremely physically exhausted is what the flow state can do. Pushing through playing like they’re not tired the flow state takes over and makes it all possible

[@szymongrabarczyk3561]

Flow state?

[@Musicviberrr]

@@szymongrabarczyk3561 it’s when nothing else matters besides the task at hand. When it’s time to perform tash doesn’t care about being tired or feeling sick they go into flow state and do a show like nothing else mattered

[@darien7980]

It was an an indescribable experience being able to see you live in Chicago. Little did our group know that it was your birthday (and mine). You freaking killed it and you have every reason to be so proud of yourself. Watching this documentary gave me so much more respect for you. Much love Tash 🧡

[@laurenthurlow]

I was at the Vegas show and it was amazing. Tash, you handled that so well! Thanks for sharing this glimpse into your tour. I struggle with insomnia too and know how it feels to have to “perform” and tap into that energy that you don’t know where it comes from. I have made it through many rough days lately with Flow State on repeat. I know it can be hard to see our own purpose sometimes, but your purpose is clear to me and everyone else who gets to witness your art and understand your message. I dance and sing along with your music and literally feel my light shining brighter. You have given so much to the universe. You can rest whenever you need to and you will still be loved and supported. I’m glad Jaimie is with you now and I hope she’s healing ✨sending love 💕

[@rose_quartz_loveandlight]

this is honestly so special, thank you for documenting the journey, we love you Tash! 💜💫

[@robbiesmith79]

Thanks for the Red Rocks show. I won't forget it.

[@JB-ln2nx]

I'm seeing you tomorrow for the 2nd time and I'm so excited. I'm going alone but its OK cus I'm just coming to vibe with your music. I never forgot the firs time I heard your music 🎶

[@jimchoate6590]

So grateful to have seen Tash at Red Rocks. We wish you good health and rest Tash

[@bluepearlgirl-emelie]

I cant wait to see your show at the Fox Theater in Oakland! This will be the second time i will be seeing you at this venue and the 4th time overall in the Bay Area. Saw you at Outside Lands and California Roots in Monterey. Every show was amazing but i really loved it when i got to see you play in a theater rather than a festival. ...So i feel extremely lucky to have this second opportunity at the Fox again. You are my all time favorite musician and greatly appreciate you sharing your gifts with the world. It has become a part of the soundtrack to my life! You are the real deal and we have so little of that in this world!

[@Feryization]

Tash you change me,your spirit,your music! My son and I waiting for you,maybe in Belgrade,Serbia next year! Thank you,amazing girl 🌞

[@leighskelsey1672]

You are incredible Tash. So much appreciation for you, giving it your all, towering inner strength in the face of adversity. You are gifted. Love hearing the brilliant music you create with so much passion. Thankyou 💖☮️🌈

[@taylorsheed6488]

Thanks tash. I can’t imagine what it must be like to tour constantly but we all have our battles ehh!! Thanks for the best show (and exactly what I needed) Ive ever seen. You rock that stuff and you’re an inspiration to so many real folk out there. Peace and love!

[@alisonadaircookingcastle]

TASH....wow, to be at RED Rocks and to watch this documentary is so incredibly powerful. I was also at your last show pre pandemic at RED Rocks and was actually confused why there wasn't a band with u this yeah. I remember you n had announced it many years ago tjat was your nect move. I have always loved your solo experience and support the the new band too. Hearing all that you and your crew has been through its just soooo... tough ...yall are so strong ....uuur just so powerful and are able to show the world through vulnerability how amazing you can navigate through challenges. I know how part of this story goes bc I was at the Paramount in Seattle... it has been a blessing to travel, to see you again, to feel the magic of your sound healing and to be a witness to your journey. We love you so much so thank you for dicing deep within to keep the USA dream a live. It means the absolute world to me. Much gratitude 🙏 to you, your wife, your team. Keep shining thay light ✨️

[@nellie_rocketh]

So much respect for powering through and giving every show 110% even when you’re feeling fucked. We love you.

[@angel8411]

I saw you in Pomona last week. It was honestly the most amazing show I've rennet been too. You. Are. AMAZING. I love you ❤️

[@bryanfraleyjr]

I know you've went through hell making this tour happen. Just wanna thank you for bringing your talent to our shores. Much love.

To get to know an artist through their music is one, to get to know an artist through their recordings is another

[@Onyx0000]

Love watching the behind the scenes. You weee amazing at red rocks! Such a dream. You are incredible Tash! I’m praying that you have good health throughout the rest of the tour ❤️ see you in Pomona!

[@doctordelatierra]

Holy fuck hahaha I was at the show at Red Rocks and I just bought tickets for my brother, his girlfriend, and me to go see the Pomona show today. I need to get my seeing Tash live fix to hold me over until the next US tour.

[@DevonAnthony49]

Watching her live is a completely different experience true talent

[@lindseymize-edwards4291]

You are incredible. Watching this and seeing everything you push your self threw is why you are who you are! Strong, wise, positive, and an absolutely amazing artist/ musician/ human. Hope to get to experience your energy in person one day!

[@danboyce2781]

TASH you killed it in Philly was blown away by the show!!! What song was Josh dancing to at 9 min in this video? That song live was insane. Next time your on the East Coast lets get you to the Jersey shore on a local break would be sick to get you out with us 🤙

[@Km52smith]

FN love you!! 💕 Your such a fabulous and beautiful human and artist that has touched my soul! ✨ Thankful and grateful for you!! 🤟🏼 Showed up at 3am in Buffalo to see you….spent the night on the church steps hoping I would have the opportunity to meet you🤣….I didn’t but having seen you pull in and within feet of you at the concert was def worth it!! 😊 Loved you so much we bought tickets and came to see you again on the 4th in Toronto! I can’t get enough!! The energy you bring is fire!!! 🔥 If I get the chance would love to come see you in Milan! Rock on Tash!!! Wish you peace and all the fear you may experience fades away! P.S……Tell Josh in Rochester NY were not greedy with our balls(meatballs)!! Come visit you two!!! 😜

[@sethpaul7447]

I love love love love you!!!! You've been apart of my life for like.. I dunno, 6 years?! Vast oceans and large throws of 'terra firma' lies between us, but your music found it's way to my soul, and for that I'm enamoured. Long live Tash Sultana 💜🌱

Thank you for so much effort, I enjoyed Las Vegas show sooo much! To me the greatest artist in the planet 🌏

[@dawnamundson8204]

I am so excited for your July 17th forest grove oregon show!! I hope I can get there!

[@melissamartens4626]

I sometimes wonder about my purpose too and came to the conclusion that it is to live a fulfilling life. To accept the polarity between the good and the bad, balancing the light and the dark. Basically being comfortable in the grey zone with the optimism that things held in balance are a universal law that keep it all going. And when our human consciousness leaves us and we’re not identified with our thoughts anymore, we might experience a much deeper connection with the universe. We might even get an understanding of it. I truly believe that giving up our human mind could open up something really profound. And in the meantime, I’ll do the things I love and one of them is listening to your music :)

[@user-gg7vq8ci6c]

Would love if there’s more of these diaries to come from the rest of the tour🎸⭐️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@thesageofvisonaryroots]

You're a super trooper. I felt for you; not getting good sleep and being exhausted then doing Bonnaroo during the hottest time of the month had to be treacherous. I hope one day to see you perform; you're one of my favorite musicians and being Maltese, it is empowering to see you successful. I wish you amazingly good health and many blessings of rest and rejuvenation for the rest of your tour. Get plenty of massages and float in a float tank if you can. 💜

[@johannag529]

@Tash sultana - -- I can only imagine how much touring has drained you. However! You are changing lives and we are all soo grateful you bless us with your talents. I heard and saw you for the first time in Vegas as a surprise to my gf as she has been a dedicated fan since your busking days. I hope you continue to be fulfilled through your music as we all are obsessively watching your live performances to continue to get our fix from your music 🎶 Stay positive stay blessed.
