Minneapolis: January 12 to January 14

Lauded Chicago-based singer-songwriter-pianist Neal Francis is out in support of his sophomore release, In Plain Sight (on ATO Records) produced by one of our favorites, Dave (Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, MGMT) Fridmann and its lead single, “Can’t Stop the Rain” features Derek Trucks. The Bottleneck show is one of only a few chances to see him in a small room before he heads off early next year to Mexico for Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky weekend and then a tour of Europe.

Indie rockers Remo Drive have been eager to hit the road again in support of latest album, A Portrait of an Ugly Man(Epitaph Records) which released last year. Self-produced and mixed, the group is led by brothers Erik (vocals, guitar) and Stephen (bass) Paulson, the band hopes to keep the momentum that their 2017 debut began.

Their sound can get un-apologetically loud, but don’t be waylaid by the somber and self-depreciating lyrics, as there’s also a sonic ray of hope to most of their songs.
