Aly & AJ | Silver Deliverer Tour 2025

Silver Deliverer, the highly anticipated independent sixth studio album from platinum-selling sister duo Aly & AJ, is out today. A career-defining body of work, Silver Deliverer blends sun-drenched California rock, country-tinged folk, and warm, analog textures into an honest and deeply personal album that feels like a love letter to growing up, growing older, and growing free. Out just in time for summer and building momentum into the fall, the release also marks the announcement of Aly & AJ’s headlining must see North American Silver Deliverer Tour, presented by Concerts West / AEG Presents.
