MORE ABOUT ‘LOOK ME UP WHEN YOU GET THERE’ 

The band began touring in 2019, showcasing the band’s artful prowess and slowly crafting what would be Safari Room’s first full-length album.  Amidst touring, the band took time and space in studios across Nashville to craft their debut album ‘Look Me Up When You Get There.’

     The debut album was released in July 2020. It was composed of songs written by Koukol over a handful of years, compiled as a major step for the band. For this record, the band self-produced a majority of the record and onboarded Nashville legend, Paul Moak, to co-produce the remainder. With singles like “One Day Here” and “Young Water,” Safari room’s debut album has proven to be a feat of emotional and musical marriage; cataloging isolation, loneliness, grief and anxiety. As the band continues to seek connection through music, fans and listeners are drawn in by the “emotional open door” Safari Room sets forth.

     When touring became feasible again mid-pandemic, the band took to the road and embarked on a self-booked, 28-date ‘Look Me Up When You Get There’ tour. The band played as far North as New York City, as West as Omaha, NE and as far South as Savannah, GA. Continuing to be a – first and foremost – live band, Safari Room continued to win over rooms across the US with emotive and powerful performances. The band showcased the depth of the debut record while sprinkling in new material yet to be released…
