Abbie Callahan will kickoff her first headline tour, “The OptiMYSTIC Tour,” on Aug. 22 in Pullman, Washington.

The tour will also visit Virginia, Massachusetts and New York, with tickets available this Friday (June 26). Callahan will also make appearances at Clay County Fair, Elray’s Live & Dive and Stomp & Holler Festival, before supporting Willow Avalon on select dates.

She will also release her new single, “OptiMYSTIC” this Friday (June 26). Callahan co-penned the tune alongside Emma Klein and Nell Maynard.

“I wrote ‘OptiMYSTIC’ for anyone who has struggled to find their place within religion or spirituality,” shares Callahan. “I was raised Catholic, but over the years I’ve explored many different expressions of faith. I’ve always been deeply interested in the bigger questions surrounding purpose, faith, and what happens after our time on earth. For a long time, I felt like I was making ‘mistakes’ through the lens of the religion I grew up in, when in reality, many of those experiences were simply part of growing up and learning who I am. Ultimately, I’ve come to believe that leading with kindness, generosity, compassion, and acceptance matters most. To me, this song reflects that journey and the peace I’ve found in that perspective, and I hope listeners connect with it as much as I do.”

Aug. 22 — National Lentil Festival — Pullman, WA
