Soul Coughing
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com
Influential band Soul Coughing is back together for the first time, in a long time. The band broke up in 2000, but came back together in 2024.
Catch all the original band members (vocalist/guitarist Mike Doughty, keyboardist/sampler Mark Degli Antoni, bassist Sebastian Steinberg, and drummer Yuval Gabay) at the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, on September 24, 2024.
We caught Mike Doughty (the singer of Soul Coughing) in March 2019 and said, “It’s hard to believe that it’s been 25 years since Soul Coughing released Ruby Vroom. Based on hearing the audience singing along and knowing the album front to back, the album is beloved and hearing the entire album played live is a sight to behold… especially experiencing it with fan’s feedback. You can always tell which songs there the favorites, even for the more obscure tracks.”

Shovels & Rope
with Al Olender
at Amsterdam Bar & Hall
first-avenue.com
husband and wife duo Shovels & Rope (Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent) will be performing live at the Amsterdam Bar & Hall in St. Paul on September 24th, 2024. The duo’s album Something Is Working Up Above My Head will be out September 6th on Dualtone Records.
We saw the band in May 2023 and wrote, “Shovels and Rope opened the evening, playing an hour, thirteen song set. A married duo of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, they are on the road supporting their 2022 album, Manticore, which is Tarot Card showing the head of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. Or as Trent explained to Rolling Stone: “… naming records is kind of stupid, so why not call our midtempo masterpiece something hardcore.” The duo started off with Trent on electric guitar and Hearst on drums and a small synthesizer, but they soon switched places with “Devil”, which gave Hearst the opportunity to channel her inner Dolly Parton.”
Al Olender to open.

Dashboard Confessional
with Boys Like Girls,
Taylor Acorn
at Uptown Theater
uptowntheatermn.com
Dashboard Confessional is currently on tour, stopping by the Uptown Theater. The band recently teamed up with their tour mate Boys Like Girls for their new single “Watch the Fire.”
Dashboard Confessional’s frontman Chris Carrabba shared, “Martin [Johnson of Boys Like Girls] and I had bonded over some horrific accidents we’d had and about the recoveries that we had both worked our way through. One of the things you carry heavily when your body is laid up and your spirit is heavy is, inevitably, the past. One thing Martin and I share between us was a desire to put the past down for a while. Maybe for good. I hope so. I guess I do know one sure way of putting the past down, for a little while anyway: pick up a guitar. Reckoning with your past can be painful and ugly. It can also be rejuvenative and beautiful. I don’t know whether you get to decide. I just know that it’s worth it.”
Taylor Acorn is also on the bill.

Godsmack
with Chevelle, Wage War, Nothing More, Sleep Theory
at Xcel Energy Center
xcelenergycenter.com
93X’s much-anticipated “Family Reunion” makes its return to the Xcel Energy Center on September 26, 2024. The show will feature headliner Godsmack.
“We can’t wait to get The Brotherhood and Sisterhood back together at Xcel Energy Center for the 93X Family Reunion,” adds Derek Madden, VP of Mainstream Rock Formats and 93X Program Director. “I’m really excited for this one. We’ve put together an outstanding lineup, with legacy acts who have rocked for decades, rising acts making their best music, and even a surprise guest to be announced later this summer. It’s going to be an incredible night and we’re looking forward to getting together with thousands of our favorite listeners.”
Show up early to see Chevelle, Wage War, Nothing More and Sleep Theory.
We previously saw Wage War in Mar 2016 and said, “The crowd was full of energy for majority of the night. I loved watching them while Wage War played. Wage War is a band that I saw back in December when they opened for Every Time I Die. They were amazing that night but, sadly, did not get the attention from the crowd that they deserved. I honestly don’t know if majority of the crowd back in December even noticed there was a band on stage. It was great to see the crowd giving them all of the attention they deserved. Kids were singing along and moshing and dancing. It was wild to see how quickly Wage War had gained all of these followers and they are more than deserving of it. People think it’s stupid that I will go see the same band a bunch of times but this is a perfect example as to why I do that. The amount of satisfaction I have in seeing such a deserving band finally make it “big” with my friends is one of the best feelings on the planet.”
