VAN WILLIAM SET TO SUPPORT FIRST AID KIT ON NATIONAL TOUR

Songwriter and performer Van William, known for the subversive artistry of his former acclaimed indie bands Port O'Brien and WATERS, will support acclaimed Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit on a national tour kicking off in January 2018. The 14-date tour will hit major markets across the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, Van will open for First Aid Kit this Thursday, October 12th at the Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and headline his own show at L.A.'s Bootleg Theater on November 14th. A complete list of tour dates is below.

Van William's story is remarkable. His experience as a commercial salmon fisherman working alongside his father every summer was beautifully captured amid the stunning beauty of Kodiak Island, Alaska by internationally noted photographer Silvia Grav. The short film is both an intimate look behind the making of Van's recently released first ever solo work, 'The Revolution EP,' and his emotional last summer fishing with his dad.
