J.E. Sunde
May 12 update: Unfortunately, tonight's show with J.E. Sunde has been cancelled as the artist tested positive for COVID today. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to have him back soon. All ticket purchases will be automatically refunded.
J.E. Sunde has been making bizarrely beautiful pop music since his days with his brother Jason and Eau Claire-based The Daredevil Christopher Wright. He may catch the uninitiated off guard; a voice that can easily slip into a far-fetched falsetto that can’t possibly be coming out of a guy this large. When combined with his guitars, tricky lyrics, and offbeat insights, it’s magic. With Bright Arcana.
$15 ($12 adv.).
media release:As the world begins to open once again, J.E Sunde will be playing songs from his internationally acclaimed third album,"9 Songs About Love" for the first time in the Midwest since it's release.
“Without upsetting the forms of folk country rock songwriting, this American from Wisconsin nonetheless distilled small miracles of delicacy and sincerity, apt to seduce lovers of the harmonies of Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen or Gram Parsons and their heirs (Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver ...).”
-Stéphane Davet, Le Monde
“JE Sunde is back with a remarkably performed new album, which encapsulates all the absurdity - and charm - of human relationships.” -Rolling Stone France, 4/5 Stars
“[9 Songs About Love] Undoubtedly the US folks revelation of the year.” -Mowno
