John Moreland brings his unique Texas sound to Minneapolis Turf Club during his countrywide tour. Following the release of his album, “Big Bad Luv”. John’s sound is nothing but raw and from the heart. Hits such as Break My Heart Sweetly, John has a unique sound that will leave audiences in a trance. Don’t let the small venue fool you either. John is a relentless touring musician and if you have the opportunity to hear the singer song writer on June 16th do not miss it. Tickets are still available HERE
Grab you a drink, or dont, and be ready for some nostalgic feelings it’s gonna be a good one. Some recommended tunes for those not savvy(yet) with his music: Break My Heart Sweetly, Tulsa County Stars, You Don’t Love Me Enough to Cry.
The replay of John Moreland’s network television debut is…glorious and affirming and a sucker punch. He is announced by Stephen Colbert, lights disolve, and the camera slowly focuses on the person midway across the unadorned stage, revealing him beneath muted blue lights. He is a big man. Seated, alone, cradling his acoustic guitar. He looks like nobody who is famous. Then he begins to sing, to caress the song “Break My Heart Sweetly,” and all that remains is to whisper, “Oh, my god.” In Colbert’s studio everybody stood, like they were in church.
