LAMBCHOP: Kurt Wagner Solo
Wednesday, October 8 at 7:30 PM, $20
On October 7, Merge Records will release OH (ohio), the new album by Lambchop, a group the All Music Guide has called "arguably the most consistently brilliant and unique American group to emerge [in the past two decades]." Recorded in Lambchop's hometown of Nashville and produced by part-time 'chopper Mark Nevers at his Beech House studio. It features 11 new songs all written by Kurt Wagner, many with evocative titles - the stately soul folk of "Slipped Dissolved and Loosed," the galloping rhythms and chiming guitar-piano interplay of "National Talk Like a Pirate Day," and the shapeshifting, nearly funky "Popeye" - that have become a Lambchop hallmark. Tonight, hear Lambchop's music through a rare Kurt Wagner solo tour around the release of OH (ohio).
