SOLD OUT: Kevin Morby, Shannon Lay

press release: We're super-psyched to announce a special show by singer/songwriter Kevin Morby, who will be touring in support of his soon-to-be-released album City Music, out June 16. 

This will be a special Thursday night show, on August 31, which, to us will be the perfect warm-up for a long Labor Day weekend. 

Tickets will be available through Brown Paper Tickets starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 19. However you get them, this is sure to be an amazing show by this gifted musician. 

Kevin Morby has shared the title track off City Music. The song nearly hits the 7-minute mark and challenges what fans may have come to expect from Kevin. The song builds like a slowly accelerating subway train, as does this deeply impressionistic video, directed by Christopher Good. The video stars Kevin and actress Tipper Newton, and features cameos from friends Rodrigo Amarante, Kyle Thomas (King Tuff), Matt Johnson, Kim Schifino (Matt & Kim). "It’s a rare song for me in that it’s more about the guitar than the lyrics," explains Morby, "So when it came time to write lyrics, I wanted to make something as relatable and simple as possible to conjure up the feeling of being elated by a city's beautiful mania."
