SUMMARY:Covet with LITE and Hikes
DESCRIPTION:Covet with LITE and Hikes \nCovet is the baby and brainchild of guitarist and songwriter/composer Yvette Young\,conceived as a sort-of-rebellion against and simultaneously an extension of her classicalroots. The band was founded in the Bay Area\, California\, with the intention of fusing lushpost-rock soundscapes with the more intricate elements of progressive music\, with melody and emotion at the forefront\, evolving with each release. The name came from Yvettes love for the band Basement\, as well as a fondness for the meaning of the word: to want something really badly\, which is what the whole creative process feels like to her: a sort of yearning.

SUMMARY:Yot Club
DESCRIPTION:Fast Track for Yot Club First Entry Into Venue First Access To Merch Commemorative Laminate Sticker Sheet Tote Bag GA ticket to the showIMPLETON\, the third album from multi-platinum indie-rock singer/songwriter YOT CLUB\,dismantles the utopian view of the American suburbs\, treating finely manicured life as a mirage. Across its 13 tracks\, the LP wrestles with how curated feeds and predictable routines can blur\, and even erase\, empathy and responsibility\, creating a world where difficult questions and harsh realities are easy to ignore.In 2019\, Ryan Kaiser started Yot Club in his college dorm\, crafting a lo-fi\, classically cool indie rock sound grounded under a dreamlike haze. Two years later\, his breakthrough single YKWIM? quickly reached viral status on TikTok (today\, its been streamed more than 1 billion times) and has since taken him around the world at festivals like Treefort\, Kilby Block Party and Pitchfork Paris. But even as his personal geography has shifted to Nashville\, New York\, Philadelphia and now LA the suburban logic he grew up with continues to color his writing. At one point in Kaisers life\, his surroundings were just scenery; now\, as his understanding of the world and his place in it have grown\, they read differently a learned sense of perspective that marks his songs.When I first started\, I was posting music into the void with no expectations that anyone would hear it\, he says. I feel more ready now to write about something nuanced\, whereas a few years ago Id probably just say\, Ill write about my dog. Ive realized it all has to mean something otherwise\, whats the point? \nPlease Note:\nThis event is 17 and over. Any ticket holder unable to present valid identification indicating that they are at least 17 years of age will not be admitted to this event\, and will not be eligible for a refund. Ticket Fee includes 1% City Amusement Tax.

SUMMARY:Josiah and the Bonnevilles
DESCRIPTION:Josiah and the Bonnevilles – The Redline North America Tour with Max Alan and Brenna MacMillan presented by Thalia Hall & Metro \nJosiah Leming has paid his dues. As a teenager from East Tennessee\, his devotion to music led him to hit the road\, where he lived in his car and played for anyone who would listen. That took him all the way to a major record deal when he was only nineteen. When that ended\, he refused to give up and became an indie artist\, relying solely on the music and his undeniable gift for crafting relatable songs that led to a devoted fan base he calls the Bonnevilles. He appreciates them so much that he includes them in his artist name. Theyre the reason Im able to make music\, he says.2024 saw Josiah and the Bonnevilles reaching new heights\, completing a headlining tour of thirty-three sold-out dates followed by a slew of international stops that proved his global following. He has become known for raw emotion and a profound connection to his audience. This newfound attention has led to much anticipation for his new album and As Is lives up to the expectations.I knew I had a responsibility to try to become a better writer\, a better artist\, he says. One day that feels like a blessing\, and the next it feels pretty intimidating. Instead of reproducing his popular sound from the self produced Endurance\, he decided to expand it. I think it would have been hard to keep my excitement to go out on the road with another kind of acoustic record.His tenth studio album finds him going more electric than ever before\, even as he unplugs from the digital world. I feel like a grizzled old veteran at this point\, he says\, even though he is only thirty-six. Im desiring quiet\, a work space away from the internetI felt like it was important to pull back this last year and try to understand whats on my heart. What he found there resulted in an album focusing on joy\, sorrow\, and working-class issues that feel very of the moment in a time when so many Americans are struggling to make ends meet.Leming comes by his empathy for working people honestly. Hes one of nine siblings\, born and raised in Morristown\, Tennessee\, right in the heart of Appalachia. He taught himself piano when he was eight and was writing songs by thirteen. As a child he was intently aware of his community and intensely proud of his people\, something he thinks about even more in these trying times. I look at my I look at my folks in East Tennessee and very few of them seem to be winning in this new world\, Leming says. Being a regular person\, working\, trying your best. I think thats something to be proud of.His records have always been intensely personal. But on As Is he wanted to step away from being the main character and instead use vignettes to express essential truths he has learned. I want anyone to be able to put it on and not think about me when theyre listening. I want them to be in the emotion. Because of this he made a conscious choice to not include himself on the album cover.

SUMMARY:Trousdale
DESCRIPTION:For Trousdalethe trio of Quinn DAndrea\, Georgia Greene\, and Lauren Jonesthe ache of growing through change\, of facing down existential anxiety\, and matters of the heart are all intimately familiar. We can acknowledge the strides weve made and be grateful\, but weve talked a lot about how tired we are\, Jones says with a laugh. Weve been thinking a lot about the tension that comes with change\, wanting it\, fighting it\, embracing it\, but learning to thrive in that moment. On Trousdales upcoming LP\, Growing Pains (due April 11th)\, the band works through those struggles to find strength\, courage\, and growth in each other. From what was\, something new can always grow\, DAndrea says.Opening on a ripping electric guitar and bolstered by their trademark harmonies\, the title track and lead single perfectly encapsulates those feelings in the life of Trousdale. Im making it through the tough times when it feels like Ive been burning out/ Trying to build up the muscle so the hustle doesnt pull me down\, they sing\, a limber bass line drawing each new syllable forward. The album was recorded largely live in the room and co-produced by the band and John Mark Nelson\, a songwriter who has also co-written and produced songs for Suki Waterhouse and Shaboozey\, as well as engineered tracks for the likes of Taylor Swift and Mitski. This song was about what we feel every day in this band\, Greene says. Being exhausted but finding beauty together.Trousdales debut album\, 2023s Out of My Mind\, earned raves from the likes of the Boston Globe\, Consequence\, and Atwood Magazine for its powerful songwriting\, immaculate harmonies\, and ability to bridge gaps between country and indie pop. On Growing Pains\, the three songwriters evolved their style\, writing rough ideas on their own\, then refining and finishing them in the room together. Were all adding to each others ideas\, drawing from personal experiences and then expanding them into something more people can connect with\, DAndrea explains. To that end\, second single Secondhand Smoke lives deeply in the story of an abusive relationship\, but elevates into something far more haunting. Theres an icy chill to the acoustic guitar\, the pain ringing softly into the night as the trio take on the perspective of a woman struggling to find hope.While working with co-writers like Mags Duval and Adam expanded the bands purview\, the trio credit John Mark Nelson as a particularly powerful guide. Hes always thinking about the big picture and staying out of the weeds\, Jones laughs. We used to live in the weeds. But John Mark helped us focus on the album as a whole. That lesson shows both in the totality of Growing Pains and in the summery charm of a track like Over and Over. Nelson shared a rough sketch of the track\, and Trousdale eagerly carved out their own version: a tale of running into an ex and trying to decipher how you feel about everyone moving on. DAndrea points to the way the track leaps between tight-knit harmonies and lead vocal flourishes as emblematic of the new heights Trousdale has reached. Every time we record and were in the vocal booth\, were all getting better and figuring out what we need\, she says.

SUMMARY:DeVotchKa - “A Tribute to the Music of Little Miss Sunshine”
DESCRIPTION:DeVotchKa – “A Tribute to the Music of Little Miss Sunshine” \nIn a serendipitous moment on Morning Becomes Eclectic\, the radio station KCRW in Santa Monica changed the trajectory of both indie cinema and one of Denvers most distinctive musical voices. When filmmakers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris heard DeVotchKas evocative sound drifting through the airwaves\, they knew theyd found the emotional heartbeat for their film Little Miss Sunshine.That instinct proved prophetic. DeVotchKas soundtrack and score for the 2006 film became inseparable from its story. The bittersweet orchestration to the Hoover familys cross-country journey\, captured the themes of hope\, resilience\, and beautifully imperfect dreams. The bandssignature sound gave the film its unmistakable soul\, turning moments like young Olives final dance into cultural touchstones.The work earned DeVotchKa a Grammy nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album and the film won two Oscars. Introducing the world to the bands cinematic\, lush orchestral sound\, songs like Til the End of Time and How It Ends transcended the screen to become anthems.Now\, two decades later\, DeVotchKa will be celebrating this landmark collaboration with aspecial 20th anniversary tour\, A Tribute to the Music of Little Miss Sunshine. Theperformance honors not just the music that helped define a generation of independent film\, but the unlikely journey that began with a radio station\, a perfect song at the perfect moment\, and a story about never giving up on what makes you different.Join DeVotchKa as they revisit the soundtrack and score that launched them into the cultural conversation a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful twists of fate create the most lasting art.

SUMMARY:Five For Fighting/Edwin McCain
DESCRIPTION:FIVE FOR FIGHTING: To date\, Five For Fighting\, has released six studio LPs\, including the platinum certified America Town and The Battle for Everything; and the top-10 charting Two Lights\, along with an EP and live albums. Ondrasik has penned major hits\, including the chart-topping “100 Years\,” “The Riddle\,” “Chances\,” “World\,” and “Easy Tonight\,” which have earned over one billion streams and place him as a top-10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s. The reflective “100 Years” has joined “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” as part of the American Songbook and continues to stand the test of time at weddings\, birthdays\, graduations\, memorials\, and many a home video. Five For Fighting’s music has also been featured in more than 350 films\, television shows\, and commercials\, including the Oscar-winning The Blind Side\, Hawaii Five-O\, The Sopranos and the CBS drama\, Code Black. \nEDWIN McCAIN: McCain is going on over 30 years of hits and worldwide touring. He has been called a “street corner prophet” by the USA Today\, an “aching tenor” by Slate Magazine\, and a “great American romantic” by the New York Times\, but Edwin is much more than those things. After a long ride on a wave created by recording two of the biggest love songs in the history of music (“I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More”)\, and producing and starring in a tv series (Flippin’ Ships on Animal Planet); Edwin slowed his road schedule to dedicate more time to his primary roles as husband to his wife and father to their three young teenagers. His hit songs\, authentic spirit and surprisingly affable sense of humor keeps everyone coming back time and time again. The kids are grown-ish and Edwin’s fans are still clamoring for more. Not that Edwin’s music ever slows down. “American Idol” and “The Voice” contestants still turn to Edwin’s ballads year after year to help them win over judges and fans.

SUMMARY:Underscores
DESCRIPTION:Galleria – North American Chapter\nunderscores\numru \nArtist Information\nOrigin stories reenact familiar myths; this one begins with a kid alone in a bedroom\, trying to make something no one has heard before. Hailing from San Francisco\, Filipino-American artist April Harper Grey started making music as underscores in middle school\, sharing a steady stream of SoundCloud one-offs and building a community of like-minded fans. The 2017 skin purifying treatment EP pulled her project out of its solitary origins\, and by 2021\, her debut album fishmonger (recorded in that same childhood bedroom during the pandemic) launched underscores from recording vocals in a car to opening for 100 gecs on their US tour. Since then\, underscores has played main stages at Lollapalooza\, Electric Forest\, FVDED in the Park\, and Corona Capital CDMX. + opened up for Porter Robinson & Danny Brown. \nNow signed to Mom+Pop\, she’s garnered over 42 million global streams and continued releasing adventurous\, genre-defying music\, including the concept album Wallsocket and collabs with Oklou\, Yaeji and more. The world eagerly awaits the new underscores music knowing it will jolt us out of reverie. That is\, after all\, underscores’ ethos: “When people listen to underscores\, I want their initial reaction to be\, ‘This is ridiculous.’ But the more they listen\, they should hear the nuance and the heaviness—and I hope they connect with it on some kind of emotional level.” \n*Service and handling fees are added to the price of each ticket.\nDate\nFri\, June 19\, 2026\nTime\n7:00 PM\nDoors\n7:00 PM\nAges All Ages to Enter\, 21 & Over to Drink

SUMMARY:Kim Gordon
DESCRIPTION:Kim Gordon\nThe Fiery Furnaces\n18+\nTuesday\, June 23\nDoors: 7 pm // Show: 8 pm\nMetro\nTuesday\, June 23\nKim Gordon * The Fiery Furnaces\n$35 Adv. / $40 Day of / 18+ / Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm \nKim Gordon‘s third album\, PLAY ME\, is distilled and immediate\, expanding Gordon’s sonic palette to include more melodic beats and the motorik drive of krautrock. “We wanted the songs to be short\,” Gordon says. “We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused\, and maybe more confident.” The follow-up to 2024’s Justin Raisen-produced\, two-time Grammy-nominated The Collective processes\, in her inimitable way\, the collateral damage of the billionaire class: the demolition of democracy\, technocratic end-times fascism\, the A.I.-fueled chill-vibes flattening of culture-where dark humor voices the absurdity of modern life. Despite its frequent outward gaze\, PLAY ME is an interior record\, one in which a heightened emotionality pulses through physical jams\, rejecting definitive statements in favor of an inquisitiveness that keeps Gordon searching\, ever in process.
