The Lone Bellow

Brooklyn based country trio The Lone Bellow are returning to a sold out show in Minnesota’s The Turf Club. The band are touring in support of their second album Then Came The Morning

The Lone Bellow
will be headlining the Fine Line Music Café this Sunday. The last time they were in town, it was at October 2015 and we said, “The highlight of their show was the encore, a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain”. The band said they were recording the live performance and will make it available to their fans… “but please don’t tell Prince.” At the end of the song, the Varsity Theater blew in a slow, snow-like confetti from the ceiling… which under purple lighting made it look like a real ‘purple rain’.”



Of course, that was before Prince died, so let’s hope they cover the song again, exclusively for Minneapolis.



The Lone Bellow’s new album Walk Into A Storm is out now.

Hoodie Allen

NYC indie rapper Hoodie Allen got the festivities started with an energetic 40 min. set, playing to a crowd that was clearly his fanbase. Starting with ‘Fame’, a recent collaboration with Chiddy Bang

Hoodie Allen is touring in support of his third studio album The Hype. We saw the rapper in September 2013 and noted, “NYC indie rapper Hoodie Allen got the festivities started with an energetic 40 min. set, playing to a crowd that was clearly his fanbase. Starting with ‘Fame’, a recent collaboration with Chiddy Bang, the 25 year-old rapper got everyone moving immediately concentrating mostly on tracks from his most recent self-released full-length, All American, mashing up songs and keeping the set momentum moving (even U mascot Goldy Gopher jumped on stage to join in).”
