05/12/2023 FridayThe Wood Brothers
with Shovels & Rope
at Utepils Brewing Co.

Grammy-nominated The Wood Brothers is on tour in support of their eighth studio album Heart is the Hero (Honey Jar/Thirty Tigers). The album was recorded on analog to 16-track tape direct from the studio floor without any computer assistance.
“There was something beautiful about never turning on the computer. Until about 25 years ago, sound was only heard and rarely seen. But in modern recording, we’ve become used to working on music with our eyes, because we can see and manipulate the sound waves on a computer screen. That changes how you experience music and how you make decisions,” says Chris Wood. “Making a record without turning on the screen took us back in time to the era where you had to capture a good performance instead of piecing together or ‘fixing’ a performance. If we weren’t happy with a take, we had to perform and record another version. Recording without a computer forced us to trust our instincts, choose what felt best, and move on.”
Their promotional tour will take them to the Utepils Brewing Co. in Minneapolis on May 12th, 2023.
Please note that the event is part of “Live at Utepils”, an outdoor concert series presented in partnership with Sue McLean & Associates.
Shovels & Rope to open.
