Alicia Bognanno, aka Bully, is headlining First Avenue on September 15th. Her latest album Lucky For You is out now.

We saw Bully in Jan 2018 and said, “Bully is a female-fronted indie rock band who, when playing live, comes off more as a punk band. I was wondering why this show was so packed (it had to have been damn near sold out if it didn’t sell out!) but then I found out that Alicia Bognanno, the front-woman, is actually from Rosemount, MN even though the band claims to be from Nashville. This band only has one full length out (Feels Like which was released just last year) but I noticed their name popping up on everyone’s “best of 2015” lists. Last night proved why these guys are on fire right now.”

Louisville Kentucky based trio Wombo to open, fresh off a support tour of the UK, which included Moth Club, Great Escape Festival, and Dot to Dot festivals, etc. The group recently released their EP Slab in June 2023 via Fire Talk Records.

Global superstar Dean Lewis announced his The Future Is Bright US Tour, kicking off in Minneapolis on September 17th.

We caught Dean in Jul 2019 and said, “Local fans of Sydney Australia singer-songwriter Dean Lewis had waited a long time to get a proper look at him, with a scheduled sold out headlining show at the Fine Line on February 25th, canceled at last-minute because of extreme winter weather preventing him getting to town. ”

Sara Kays to open.
