Chicago’s Deeper is returning to the area, this time headlining the 7th Street Entry on August 1st.



We saw Deeper in Sep 2019 and said, “The band is usually a trio (Shiraz Bhatti, Nic Gohl, and Drew McBride), but for their live set, they’re accompanied by an additional guitarist. The most interesting thing is that the band, besides from the fact that the lead singer sounds like Robert Smith (of The Cure), is that the band loves Minneapolis’ John Maus.”



Opening will be Louisville’s trio, Wombo, touring in support of their album, Fairy Rust, via Fire Talk Records.

Local Natives

with Jordana

at First Avenue

It’s been over twenty years since we saw Local Natives, in fact, we saw them open for Suckers in May 2010. Funny how things turned out for Suckers and the 400 Bar… but Local Natives are still going strong in 2022.



Opening for LN will be Jordana… who we just saw last month at the 7th Street Entry. Yes, it’s only a month ago that Jordana was in Minneapolis for the first time… let’s see how she deals with being back in the city a second time. Except to see her “favorite aunt” on tour with her.



Expect her to play tracks from her TV Girl collaboration EP Summer’s Over, as well as tracks from her latest album
Face The Wall (Grand Jury).

Originally scheduled in Jan 2022, the show was moved to August 2nd.



Faroese folk electronica artist Eivør will be stopping by the Cedar Cultural Center. Her latest album Segl, which was produced by Lana Del Rey collaborator Dan Heath, is out now.

Segl got a lot of buzz, thanks to featuring appearances from Ásgeir (who we saw in Sept 2017) and Einar Selvik of Wardruna.

Emily Jane White will open.

Florist

with Marc Merza
at Turf Club

Florist is touring in support of their self-titled album from Double Double Whammy. We saw the band on their first appearance in Minneapolis, in June 2016 and wrote, “The story of Florist was that it was a project that Emily Sprague started with her two friends (Rick Spataro, and Jonnie Baker) in Upstate, New York. Eventually, Sprague moved to New York City, but still kept writing music and using the moniker ‘Florist’. By 2014, after a result of a severe bicycle accident that broke her arm and neck… she began writing songs about recovery, isolation, physical, emotional, pain, nature, death, etc., many of which eventually made it onto her The Birds Outside Sang album.”



Marc Merza to open.
