On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, following the release of her brilliant debut album, Emma Harner is taking her captivating solo instrumentation on the road for her massive 2026 international headline run, The Evening Star Tour.
Fresh off the release of her highly anticipated full-length debut, rising singer-songwriter and guitarist Emma Harner is taking her new music worldwide. The Nebraska-born, Boston-based artist has officially announced The Evening Star Tour, an expansive international run hitting cities across North America and Europe later this year.


From Viral Sensation to Alt-Folk Virtuoso
Harner’s path to her debut album began far from the traditional touring circuit. Originally hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska, she first built a passionate online community through stunning, short-form performance videos on TikTok and Instagram.
Her videos quickly caught the attention of prominent music industry curators like Zane Lowe and legendary producer Rick Beato, who recognized her unique ability to fuse complex instrumentation with approachable hooks. Critics have quickly followed suit, pointing to Harner as one of the most technically gifted and refreshing new voices in American independent music.
Inside the Sound of ‘Evening Star’
The tour comes in celebration of her 11-track debut album, Evening Star. The record marks a massive creative milestone for Harner, who took complete creative ownership by writing and recording every single instrument and vocal track herself.
Musically, the album highlights her signature stylistic blend: anchoring the quiet, storytelling vulnerability of traditional folk music with the complex, syncopated time signatures of math rock. Lyrically, the collection dives deep into the complexities of human emotion, focusing on intense feelings of self-reflection, memory, and the bittersweet nature of longing.



An Expansive International Journey
While Harner previously proved her live drawing power with a completely sold-out headline tour following her 2025 extended play, Taking My Side, this upcoming autumn run stands as her largest and most ambitious live undertaking to date. The tour kicks off in early September on the West Coast before heading through the Midwest, East Coast, Central Europe, and the United Kingdom.
