Roberts adds, “The Day Tripper series is designed to bring people to unique and historic spaces for an intimate shared experience with an artist. “She’s a phenomenal songwriter and constantly evolving as an artist, and her work and recording process tends to be inspired by and contain a sense of place – which is perfect for Atlas Obscura as a company built around place-based storytelling.” “We were excited to work with Angel Olsen because her music is deeply personal while also feeling universal,” Megan Roberts, creative director of brand partnerships at Atlas Obscura, tells Pollstar. Olsen’s show also served as the first event for Atlas Obscura’s Day Tripper series. The June 4 performance, which took place the day after Big Time was released on the independent label Jagjaguwar, was filmed for a livestream concert that will have tickets available for purchase via Veeps on July 19. Olsen recorded and mixed the critically acclaimed LP just a few miles away from Theatricum Botanicum at co-producer Jonathan Wilson’s Fivestar Studios, with the natural beauty of the bohemian community providing a refuge for Olsen as she explored her latest sound and grieved the recent loss of her parents. The idyllic, open-air venue was just the spot to host the first full-band performance of singer/songwriter Angel Olsen’s heart-stirring new album, Big Time. Nestled in the lush, winding hills of Southern California’s Topanga Canyon, Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum was initially established by actor/musician Will Geer in the 1950s as a theater for fellow blacklisted artists to perform on his acreage and by 1973 he and his family formed a non-profit organization to host Shakespeare performances and concerts by artists such as Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie. Angel Olsen is pictured at Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga, Calif., June 4.
