Bright Eyes
with Maya Hawke
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Beloved indie trio Bright Eyes (featuring Conor Oberst, producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and composer/ arranger/ multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Walcott) have announced a limited spring tour run ahead of their appearance at Corona Capital Guadalajara. The band will stop by First Avenue in Minneapolis on May 11th, 2023.

We saw Oberst in June 2014 and said, “Conor Oberst along with Dawes, then took the stage for his two-hour set, which varied from Night One, but also opened with the first two songs which start his new album, ‘Time Forgot’ and ‘Zigzagging Toward the Light’ before he reached back into his Bright Eyes catalogue for ‘We Are Nowhere and It’s Now’ (“this one’s about purgatory”, Oberst would say). Dawes had already rehearsed 45-50 songs of the Oberst oeuvre, so was ready for any setlist changes or called audible.”

Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke to open. If you missed her at the sold-out Fine Line in March, here’s your second chance to see her.

Tour Dates:

May 10 – Milwaukee, WI – Pabst Theater
May 11 – Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue
May 12 – Chicago, IL – Salt Shed
May 13 – Columbia, MO – Rose Park
May 14 – Tulsa, OK – Cain’s Ballroom*

Matthew Logan Vasquez
with Danny Golden and Lamar
at 7th St Entry

Delta Spirit’s lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Matthew Logan Vasquez will be headlining the 7th Street Entry this May 11, 2023, in support of his new solo album As All Get out (Nine Mile Records).

We saw Logan Vasquez in Apr 2016 and noted, “As mentioned, Matthew is the lead singer for the indie rock group Delta Spirit. These guys apparently have a huge following as far as I could tell by the multiple Delta Spirit T-shirts in the crowd. At first I was a little surprised but as soon as he started singing, I understood.”

Danny Golden and Lamar to open.
