CORY BRANAN

Aster Cafe

Cory Branan will be stopping by the Aster Café, in support of ADIOS.
We last saw Branan in Oct 2016 and said, “Opening up the show was Mississippi-born Cory Branan. It was just Branan and his acoustic guitar as he sang song about America like ‘Nightmare in America’ and ‘Tall Green Grass’ played early in his set. A couple of cover songs, like Richard Thompson’s ‘Beeswing’ were played, but personally speaking, Branan’s original songs are just as good, if not better. Songs like ‘The Freefall’, ‘I Ain’t Gonna Go Back’ and ‘The Prettiest Waitress in Memphis’ told great little stories and gave us a glimpse of American life.”
Special guest Trapper Schoepp will open. We last saw Trapper Schoepp in May 2017 and wrote, “As a former resident of Green Bay, I was charmed to learn that Trapper Schoepp’s newest EP was written all about the city’s Bay Beach, an east-side amusement park nestled on the bay that happens to be celebrating 125 years of existence this year. Schoepp treated the Turf crowd to a performance of Bay Beach Amusement Park in its entirety with help from Shades bandmates Justin Krol on drums, Quinn Scharber on guitar, brother Tanner on bass/vocals and a 3-piece horn section lovingly called “The Horns”.”
