Norwegian singer-songwriter and record producer girl in red is touring in support of I’M DOING IT AGAIN BABY! (Columbia Records). The tour will stop in at the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, on December 10, 2024.

In addition to her North American tour, she can also be found on A24 Music’s Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense, which comes in celebration of the recent re-release of Jonathan Demme’s iconic concert film of the same name and the 40th anniversary of its accompanying soundtrack album.

We saw girl in red in March 2022 and said, “It’s fair to say area fans had been waiting more than two years to finally see Girl in Red live. The show was long sold out and had to be postponed a couple times, and it’s also fair to say when shrieks of joy are let out as techs tuned each instrument, and a dozen or so handmade signs were held high in the crowd all night long, that you’ve made it and also made a connection. Just twenty-three herself, Norwegian Marie Ringheim has quickly amassed a huge international fan base, and being an all-ages show, the audience was a diverse group- mostly female pre-teens, college-age, parents, LGBTQ+, and even middle-age and older folks.”

Sunday (1994) to open.

American Idols Colin Stough and Will Moseley will be co-headlining the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis on December 11, 2024.

American Idol Season 22 Runner-Up, Will Moseley is touring in support of Everything But Me (19 Recordings / 19 Entertainment).

And at the end of 2024, Mosely will open for Zac Brown Band for the second time this year, joining them for a special New Year’s Eve show at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. “Zac Brown provided me with one of the coolest opportunities of my life, and now he has extended that opportunity again”, says Moseley. “Only this time, I will be playing my first arena show and in front of my home crowd!”

Fend, Admiral Fox, NATL PARK SRVC, and Joe Bartel
at 7th St Entry

There is a local show taking place on December 11, 2024, at the 7th Street Entry.

Bands on the bill: Fend (they’ve just released Disc in September), Admiral Fox, NATL PARK SRVC, and Joe Bartel

We’ve only seen NATL PARK SRVC in June 2023 and said, “I was actually more curious about the next band, a rather large ensemble called NATL PARK SRVC, featuring nine band members on stage. Seven of them named on their website (Dylan Woytcke, Nathan Zillmer, Jared Leger, Sage Livergood, Sam Tudor, Wes Muilenburg, and Joe Keyport), with two additional singers, Shayla and Whitney, added to their live roster. With other large bands, such as The Polyphonic Spree or Broken Social Scene (everyone in Canada is in this band), they are really fun to watch and hear. Everyone is laughing and having such a good time… even though they’re singing about someone punching them in the face.”

Illiterate Light
with Palmyra
at 7th St Entry

Illiterate Light is headlining the 7th Street Entry this Friday the 13th.

 

We saw Illiterate Light in April 2023 and said, “Opening up the show was explosive guitar/drum Virginia duo Illiterate Light (singer-guitarist Jeff Gorman and drummer Jake Cochran). The group is touring in support of their album Sunburned, out now via Thirty Tigers. They opened their set with “Wake Up Now”, running at 100 miles per hour. Their high energy performance continues to “Closer”, seeing Jeff head-banging and Jake standing on amps or running through the crowd… the band never seem to slow down. When they are transition between songs (tuning), they’re often playing random notes and drum noises so there’s no dead air.”

Palmyra to open.
