American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Julien Baker released her critically acclaimed album, Little Oblivions, during the pandemic, through Matador Records.

Little Oblivions Remixes EP

Still working and evolving her songs, Baker announced Little Oblivions Remixes EP , which will be available September 1st.
The remix EP will feature collaborations with Half Waif, Thao, Helios, Gordi, and Jesu.



We caught Julien Baker in Aug 2017 and said, “Baker started her music career in 2010 in the band The Star Killers (renamed themselves Forrister), when she was 15 years old, but decided to go solo in 2015. Unfortunately, the shy singer and guitarist’s songs were often drowned out by the chatty crowd (at least where we were at), who were clearly weren’t there to give the opener a chance.” Of course, at the Surly Brewing Festival, “Seeing Baker, nearly a year later, I can tell you that she’s more confident and taking command of the stage. She’ll sometime scream on some songs, which can be such a powerful thing to hear from this very young singer. To be honest, the crowd loved her.”



With a nice fan following, it should be interesting to see Baker return to Minneapolis this September 24th, headlining and playing her biggest venue yet – First Avenue mainroom.



Thao and Katie Malco are listed as openers.

JULIAN LAGE

Guitar virtuoso Julian Lage will be touring the United States in the fall in support of his latest release Squint (Blue Note Records). He’ll be stopping by the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis this October 5th, billed as “An evening with Julian Lage”. No opening band is listed as of this writing.



What is interesting about these Lage will be offering exclusive Master Classes in some selected cities. If you paid for the class, you can show up early to the show and will spend 45 minutes learning Lage’s special techniques on his guitar playing with a Q&A session.



Lage wass somewhat of a child prodigy, having had a documentary film made about his guitar playing when he was 8 years old. When he was 12, he performed at the 2000 Grammy Awards. By the age of 15, he was already a a faculty member of the Stanford Jazz Workshop at Stanford University… so yeah, the guy knows music.



We caught Lage with Chris Eldridge in March 2017 and wrote, “The two (Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge) started playing two instrumental songs from their latest Mount Royal to a very attentive crowd. Eldridge then announced that they were two guitarists, and that they would be playing nothing but “guitars songs”. If you didn’t like guitar music… then you were at the wrong show, Eldridge joked.”
