Peter Bjorn and John
at Fine Line

Acclaimed Swedish indie-pop band Peter Bjorn and John will be playing their breakout Writer’s Block album (the album with “Young Folks”) in its entirety, with this special US tour in May 2025. The tour will stop by the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on May 16, 2025.

We saw the band in June 2016 and said, “Anyway, after a five-year break (their last album Gimme Some came out in 2011), to give room for various solo projects: Peter’s solo albums, Björn’s “Yttling Jazz”, and John’s project Hortlax Cobra. With all that out of the way and a fresh perspective, the trio is back with their catchiest album yet, Breakin’ Point. Joining the trio were new touring band members, Klaus and Freya, both doing various keys and extra percussions… which is reflective of Breakin’ Point’s synth-heavy new sound. The extra production really adds a fuller sound to PB&J.”

Larkin Poe
with Amythyst Kiah
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

GRAMMY® Award-winning duo Larkin Poe (Rebecca and Megan Lovell) is touring in support of Bloom. The tour will stop by First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on May 16, 2025.

We saw Larkin Poe in January 2023 and said, “The buzz over Nashville’s Larkin Poe has been palpable and growing louder, but this was the first time we’ve managed to catch talented sisters Rebecca & Megan Lovell live, to experience their own brand of Southern roots rock and blues, after hearing good things as they’ve headlined and also supported the likes of Bob Seger, Elvis Costello, and Keith Urban. Their prolific and impressive discography includes their newest, Blood Harmony (via Tricki-Woo Records) and their lively energetic eighty-five-minute set did not disappoint the sellout crowd, 2/3 of which were seeing them for the first time as well (per an informal show of hands).”

Amythyst Kiah to open. We saw Kiah in Nov 2024 and said, “She was naturally funny but alas, her smile is taken, her fiancé’s name is Jessica, who is a Taylor Swift fan, insert shameless plug of the album producer Butch Walker. She said her fandom was not one of a crazed “wear a diaper to get through a Swifty concert” but just enough to make her a bracelet made out of “Dark Matter” before she launched into the song. Other references to a family member included her father who whistled on a song on her second album. She was so proud of her TN relative because he had never done anything like that, a recording in a studio.”
