Glen Hansard
Irish folk songwriter that you may remember from his role in Once, or as part of The Swell Season, a folk duo with co-star Marketa Irglova. Hansard won an Academy Award for the song “Falling Slowly” from the Once soundtrack and has toured the world for the past few years in multiple forms. This is sure to be a packed show, and a good one also.

Country music fans assemble! This may be your last chance to break out the camo tall cans for a good old fashioned honkey tonk tailgate this summer.

So if you don’t have tickets, it you may have to revert to Kenny Chesney’s Greatest Hits while you sip your Busch driving down an old dirt road. Luke Bryan supports

The Avett Brothers at Fox Theatre
Odds are you have heard of Mumford and Sons. Chances are you may not be as familiar with The Avett Brothers. The Avett’s are what you would get if Marcus Mumford smoked crack and listened to nothing but Dead Kennedys albums all day... then decided to record an Americana / Folk Rock album. They are touring in support of their newest album, The Carpenter, which will be released later this month and are without a doubt one of my favorite live shows in recent years. Bad news though folks, this one sold out and tickets are going at a premium.
SELL OUT ALERT!
These are upcoming shows that you probably don’t want to hold off on getting tickets to, as they may not be available much longer!
