SUMMARY:Modest Mouse
DESCRIPTION:Having recently completed another successful run with Pixies and Cat Power\, Modest Mouse continues to prove themselves to be one of the most consistent live acts today. Modest Mouse released their highly anticipated new album\, The Golden Casket\, on June 25\, 2021 via Epic Records. The Golden Casket heralds another new chapter in the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi platinum band?s unpredictable evolution. Produced with Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee in Los Angeles and in Modest Mouse?s studio in Portland\, the album hovers in the liminal space between raw punk power and experimental studio science\, frontman Isaac Brock explores themes ranging from the degradation of our psychic landscapes and invisible technology\, to fatherhood. The twelve tracks behave like amorphous organisms\, undergoing dramatic mutations and mood swings that speak to the chronic tug-of-war between hope and despair that plays out in Brock?s head. \nDoors\n6:30 PM \nAge Restriction\n17 & Over \nVenue\nThe Salt Shed Indoors (Shed)\n1357 N Elston Ave \nPerformers\nModest Mouse \nPlease Note\nThere is a delivery delay on all orders until approximately one week prior to the show. This show will be taking place inside the Shed. Trust for Public Land is the proud charitable partner of Modest Mouse?s 2026 tour.

SUMMARY:Gov't Mule
DESCRIPTION:For three decades\, Gov’t Mule has galvanized a global fan base with their honest\, organic and daring music and improvisational virtuosity\, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless\, revered and active bands in the world whose spot amongst rock titans remains unshakable. Led by visionary GRAMMY Award-winning artist\, guitar legend\, songwriter and producer Warren Haynes – a cornerstone of the American music landscape – the enduring\, globally revered GRAMMY-nominated group has showcased its intelligence and breadth over the course of 20+ studio and live albums\, thousands of memorable performances\, and millions of album and track sales. Gov’t Mule’s most recent studio album\, 2023’s Peace…Like A River (Fantasy Records) is a timeless rock collection featuring guest appearances from Billy F Gibbons\, Ivan Neville\, Billy Bob Thornton\, Ruthie Foster\, and Celisse. Peace…Like A River – hailed as “perfection\,” “captivating\,” “riveting\,” and among the band’s best – marked the follow-up to Mule’s GRAMMY-nominated blues album\, Heavy Load Blues\, with both albums recorded at The Power Station New England during the same sessions but created in different rooms with no shared gear or instruments. Gov’t Mule – Haynes [guitar\, vocals]\, Matt Abts [drums]\, Danny Louis [keyboards\, guitar\, and backing vocals]\, and Kevin Scott [bass] – has become a human encyclopedia of great American music while adding to that canon with their signature sound. The band’s flexible interplay in the studio and on stage makes them a true living\, breathing ensemble and Haynes is lauded as one of the most formidable guitarists and vocalists of the modern era and a prolific songwriter and producer.

SUMMARY:Violent Femmes
DESCRIPTION:Violent Femmes\nDate\nSunday\, Aug 16\, 2026 • 7:00 PM \nEvent Starts\n7:00 PM \nDoors Open\n5:30 PM \nEvent Details\nBlister in the Sun         Add It Up \nGone Daddy Gone       Kiss Off \nOne of the most underrated rock bands of the ’80s post-punk era\, Milwaukee’s Violent Femmes created a genre of music that was as unique as their name. They were pioneers of the underground alternative-rock scene before it was cool. \nThe beloved cult band’s acoustic-driven folk-punk sound was original and immediately recognizable. Their stripped-down approach conveyed a sense of urgency and raw emotion. \nIt took a while\, but the band’s infectious\, jittery brilliance could not be denied. After their emergence\, they released their debut album\, Violent Femmes. From start to finish\, this platinum-selling LP remains a stone-cold classic. \nFull of angst-ridden anthems\, their collection of 10 studio albums provides a rich repertoire of music. Several tracks have been featured in movies and on TV to evoke ’80s nostalgia or quirky\, restless energy. \nNow\, a bit older and wiser\, the Femmes happily celebrate their 45th year together. Be sure to catch them live before they’re “Gone Daddy Gone.” \n––––– \nFun Fact: In 1981\, a member of The Pretenders saw the Femmes playing on the sidewalk in front of Milwaukee’s Oriental Theatre where The Pretenders were about to perform. Singer Chrissie Hynde invited them inside to play a brief set before they took the stage. \nhttps://www.geneseetheatre.com/events/detail/violent-femmes-2026 \nCheck out more events here!

SUMMARY:Alabama Shakes
DESCRIPTION:“Raw talent never falters\,” writes American Songwriter. Though it has been more than a decade since Alabama Shakes burst onto the scene\, fans have patiently awaited the reunion of vocalist and guitarist Brittany Howard\, guitarist Heath Fogg\, and bassist Zac Cockrell. Their return isn’t just a comeback—it’s a rekindling of the electrifying chemistry that first redefined modern Southern rock\, soul\, and blues for a new generation. \nWith their 2012 debut album\, Boys & Girls\, Alabama Shakes entered Billboard’s Independent Albums chart at No. 1\, earning multiple Grammy nominations and making Rolling Stone’s list as one of the year’s best albums. Soon after its release\, the bandmates found themselves thrust into the global spotlight\, achieving such milestones as performing at the White House and on “Saturday Night Live.” \nYears of solo exploration and creative growth have only deepened the band’s artistry\, bringing renewed perspective and fire to their unmistakable sound. Reunited onstage\, Alabama Shakes channel the raw urgency of their early days while embracing the confidence and musical maturity earned over time—proving that their bond\, and their brilliance\, remain as vital as ever. \nThey are joined by opening act Liam Kazar\, a Chicago-born\, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter whose genre-fluid sound blends folk-rock\, pop\, jazz\, and alt-country with ease. Stripped-down and sonically direct\, his music moves with a quiet confidence\, illuminating Kazar’s evolution into a singular and resonant voice in indie music. \nLess Info

A cyclone of urgent\, scorched earth rock’n’roll\, Terrestrials tips the hat to the sounds of then while squarely facing up to the here and now.  \nConceived from a place of reverence for a particularly potent epoch in Oz rock\, Terrestrials mines the sound of open sky melancholia\, heat haze sizzling on the plains and jangly pub backrooms that hits an eternally poignant nerve for anyone familiar with the sound\, time and place. From there Terrestrials evolved and the idea of “Goths at the pub” became the record’s stylistic north star – iconic 80s Australiana being acid-washed with the eyeliner-stained post-punk of Sisters Of Mercy\, Magazine and the like.

SUMMARY:Charlatans UK
DESCRIPTION:One of the best loved UK bands of the last four decades\, The Charlatans’ career spans 13 albums\, 22 Top 40 singles\, three Number One albums and era-defining anthems like ‘The Only One I Know’\, ‘North Country Boy’ and ‘One to Another’. We Are Love launches a bold new era\, one that finds them at peace with their past whilst looking forward to a bright future. \nLead single ‘We Are Love’ is a celebratory statement of intent\, an urgent\, limber\, clattering love song to the human race. Propelled forward by driving drums and anthemic guitar\, frontman Tim Burgess describes it as “like an open top car ride in the credits of your favourite movie driving along the coast to somewhere amazing.” One of the first tracks to emerge from the album\, it became a pathfinder for the record\, as Collins explains: “Early on we thought it felt right. And it turned out that way: first single\, title track\, second song on the album. And things started forming around We Are Love. There was a certain energy to it that drove us forwards.” \nAn eight year gap between albums is the longest ever for one of the UK’s most enduring bands. A combination of covid\, solo projects\, life’s complexities and the fact that its five members – Tim Burgess (vocals)\, Martin Blunt (bass)\, Mark Collins (guitar)\, Tony Rogers (keyboards) and Pete Salisbury (drums) – live scattered across Europe\, meant that it took longer than usual for the stars to align at the right place\, right time\, right vibe. They took the time to carefully select a recording A-team of production duo Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange and Lightspeed Champion) and Fred Macpherson (Spector\, Rachel Chinouriri\, Jessica Winter\, Taahliah)\, plus legendary producer Stephen Street (The Smiths\, Blur\, The Cranberries)\, alongside a list of engineers\, mixers and collaborators that reads like a who’s who of alt rock greatness. The result has been well worth the wait. \nRecorded at two places that are totemic in The Charlatans’ history – Rockfield in Wales and their own Big Mushroom space in Middlewich\, Cheshire – Burgess cites hauntology and psychogeography as two concepts that swirled in his head as the band dug into the album making. For one thing\, their return to storied farm studio Rockfield for the first time in almost 30 years – since they made fifth album Tellin’ Stories – was an important step. As a band they hadn’t been there since keyboard player Rob Collins was killed\, in the middle of that album’s sessions\, in a car crash at the bottom of the track leading to the farm. Throughout the record you can hear The Charlatans’ awareness of the stuff that’s made them – the highs and the lows; the desire to honour their own mighty legacy\, whilst not being defined by it. A career-long drive to be progressive and innovative. \nTim Burgess explains: “The whole idea of hauntology and psychogeography is represented by us going back to Rockfield\, where so much history has happened for The Charlatans. That was important as a way of honouring every member who’s played in the band. So we’re honouring ourselves\, our past\, feeling that energy and reincarnating it\, doing something fresh\, brand new.” \nThis introspection brought home the fact that love is the glue that has held The Charlatans together for so long\, and that’s reflected in the 11 tracks that make up this forward-thinking\, future-facing album. \nWe are The Charlatans. \nWe Are Love.

SUMMARY:The Secret Sisters with Mary Bragg
DESCRIPTION:The Secret Sisters with Mary Bragg \nSince their 2010 self-titled debut\, The Secret Sisters have brought their spellbinding harmonies to songs that untangle the thorniest aspects of life and love and womanhood. In the making of their new album\, Mind\, Man\, Medicine\, Alabama-bred siblings Laura Rogers and Lydia Slagle found their songwriting transformed by a newfound sense of self-reliance and equanimity\, threading their lyrics with hard-won insight into the complexities of motherhood\, commitment\, compassion\, and self-preservation in an endlessly chaotic world. Centered on a kaleidoscopic sound that boldly blurs the edges of country-folk\, the duos fifth full-length ultimately confronts many of modern lifes harshest challenges while leading the listener toward a more open-hearted state of mind.In our previous records there was a feeling that we had something to prove\, but now were leaning toward a place of peaceful acceptance and trying to stay immersed in the present\, says Slagle\, noting that their shared experience in parenting young children greatly informed that shift in perspective. There are definitely still moments of frustration and anger on this album\, but theres also a little more light\, Rogers adds. I think a lot of that came from getting older\, and from letting go of the pressure we put on ourselves in the past. We finally reached the point of saying\, Lets just write the songs honestly as we can\, and trust that theyll reach whoever theyre meant to reach.The follow-up to Saturn Returntheir 2020 Grammy-nominated LP co-produced by Brandi Carlile and lavishly praised by the likes of Rolling StoneMind\, Man\, Medicine finds The Secret Sisters co-producing alongside Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes\, St. Paul On Saturn Return wed gotten much more confident as far as directing the sound of the record and knowing how to capture our voices in the most honest way\, so it felt like the right time for our first foray into production\, says Rogers. The latest in a series of critically lauded releases\, the album came to life at FAME Studios (the historic spot in their hometown of Muscle Shoals) and at Sun Drop Sound in nearby Florence\, with contributions from such esteemed musicians as Alabama Shakes bassist Zac Cockrell and legendary multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell (Paul Simon\, Willie Nelson\, Levon Helm).Referring to The Secret Sisters latest chapter as one where we seek\, savor\, and settle\, the duo lifted the title to Mind\, Man\, Medicine from a lyric in Same Water: a gorgeously bluesy meditation on the search for healing in a profoundly troubled world\, channeling both weariness and empathy with soulful conviction. Theres a line in Same Water that says Mind or man or medicine/I have tried them all\, which feels like it encompasses everything we were trying to say on this record\, Slagle explains. In a lot of these songs were struggling with our own minds and emotions\, with our relationships\, and with whatever were using to try to cope and find relief.

SUMMARY:Arlo Parks
DESCRIPTION:London-born Arlo Parks won the Mercury Music Prize for her debut 2021 album Collapsed in Sunbeams\, won Breakthrough Artist at the 2021 Brit Awards\, and received two Grammy and Ivor Novello nominations. She was coined the voice of her generation. Her follow up My Soft Machine featured the likes of Phoebe Bridges and saw her continue to tour globally. 2025 saw her become the youngest ever appointed UNICEF Ambassador as she continues her humanitarian work. 2026 sees the release of her much anticipated third album Ambiguous Desire. Referencing everything from the queer hedonism of NYCs Paradise Garage to the moody nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial\, the glittering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem\, and rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish\, Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental. A soundtrack to unguarded self-expression\, it is a life-affirming new piece of work from one of musics most irrepressible voices. \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.

They sold out shows all over the world and left craters in towns and cities and festival sites across the UK\, Europe\, South Korea and North America. The album cracked the Top 20 of the UK album chart. It’s good\, you see. \nThey graced the covers of publications such as DIY\, NME\, Kerrang! Magazine\, NOTION\, and features with the likes of Variety\, The Line Of Best Fit\, BBC Radio 1\, tons of playlisting on BBC Radio 6 Music\, a KEXP session\, coverage from Pitchfork and The Needle Drop etc. etc.\, the Brighton-based duo of Phoebe Lunny  (vocals/guitar) and Selin Macieira (bass) have spent the last few years on a tear in more ways than one. \nWho Let The Dogs Out bottles everything wrong with the modern world and shakes it up. If peppering political songs with humour is like sticking a sparkler in some bread\, then their debut is like a fireworks display in the factory itself: strange\, dangerous\, exciting\, and it rips through a laundry list of social ills. It’s so good in fact that the legend Peaches herself did the one and only remix for the record.
