Naima Bock performs "Campervan" w/ Institute Collective (watch), announces US tour dates

One of the many standouts on Naima Bock‘s mesmerizing debut album Giant Palm is “Campervan,” a beautiful, melancholic song about forging your own path. She’s just shared a live version of the song, performed with violinist Oliver Hamilton and the Institute Collective contemporary vocal ensemble at Waverley House in Margate . “It was a real pleasure to work with the Institute Collective, we had a beautiful day meeting all of the singers, arrangers and crew,” Naima says. “There was a very special energy whilst filming and the more we sang together the better it got. I’m delighted to release this video and to have worked with such a talented bunch”. The performance is a stunner and you can watch the video below.

In other news, Naima has announced a few US shows happening in March 2023, beginning at Brooklyn’s Public Records on 3/3, and from there hitting Philadelphia, Seattle and Los Angeles. Naima will also be on tour in the UK and Europe this year. All dates are listed below.
