BRYAN FERRY

at Palace Theatre

palacestpaul.com



Bryan Ferry will be headlining the Palace Theatre in St Paul this Saturday.
The versatile English singer will probably play some Bob Dylan (seeing as it’s Minnesota!) from his Dylanesque record. Even if he doesn’t cover a Dylan tune, I know, for a fact, that Ferry will play classic Roxy Music songs – including my all-time favorite song ‘Love is the Drug’.



Show up early to check out pianist-singer/songwriter Judith Owen.

The first time we saw Sylvan Esso in November 2013, we knew they were special from her Mountain Man days.



Sylvan Esso’s last MN show sold out, so it’s no surprise that the band sold out both dates at First Avenue.



Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner new project Flock of Dimes will open. We previously saw the band in October 2016 and noted that Dimes uses more synth and beats.
