Minneapolis: March 10 to March 12, 2025

10 Mar 2025 Monday

Originally Sunny Sweeney was supposed to play the Turf Club on July 22, 2024, but due to unavoidable circumstances with “a bone broken in one foot and a sprained ankle on the other”, the show was postponed.

Now that all the bones are mended and Sweeney added “Be Careful Walking” to her to-do-list, the show has now been rescheduled to March 10, 2025.

Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy 
and friends play R.E.M.’s ‘Fables of the Reconstruction’ and more
with Dave Hill
at First Avenue

You guys know I love R.E.M. and was pretty excited that Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy was playing Murmur
last year.

This year, the duo will be playing Fables of the Reconstruction, the third R.E.M. album… and I’ll confess that it is not one of my favorite records. Of all the songs on that album, my favorite is Driver 8 (which incidentally was stolen by Grant Morrisson and used in Doom Patrol).

We previously saw Jason Narducy in Oct 2023 and wrote, “He started off like a tempest and ultimately broke a guitar string, 30 seconds into his first song. So, while he was putting on a new guitar string, it was “story time”. He actually has a lot of “story time”, as this would not be the first. He has a lot to say, because like Mould, Narducy has a long-running career in music. He started with his punk band Verboten in the 80s. That band inspired Dave Grohl to pursue music. He had a stripped down duo with cellist Alison Chesley, and a full rock band with Alison called Verbow in 90s. Narducy would play Verbow’s “Holiday” near the end of the set.”

Dave Hill to open.
