Caroline Kingsbury: Shock Treatment Tour

Teragram Ballroom, 1234 West 7th Street, Los Angeles. May 17th. Caroline Kingsbury — the Nashville-based songwriter whose music processes heartbreak and survival through the specific lens of country-adjacent emotional rock — bringing the Shock Treatment Tour to Downtown LA's most intimate mid-size room.

The Teragram Ballroom is the venue that makes this kind of show what it's supposed to be: close enough to see what's happening on stage, the standing floor creating the specific crowd dynamic where a room of people who know all the words to a sad song become something communal. Kingsbury's catalog rewards the listener who has carried it through something specific, and there are always more of those in the room than anyone expected.

Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 17th. The Shock Treatment Tour is the record brought to life in the rooms it was built for. If you've been listening and waiting for the Los Angeles date — this is it. The Teragram fills from the stage back. Be there early enough to be where you want to be when the first song starts.
