Low's Alan Sparhawk, Trampled by Turtles bringing new music to the Fitzgerald Theater
Low's Alan Sparhawk, Trampled by Turtles bringing new music to the Fitzgerald Theater originally appeared on Bring Me The News. It's been a busy run over the last year for Alan Sparhawk. The former Low songwriter released his first (more or less) solo album last year, the electronics and autotune-heavy White Roses, My God. He has been touring almost constantly in 2025 and even spent time playing guitar with Circuit des Yeux. This week, he's released another record, a collaboration with fellow Duluthians, Trampled by Turtles. Sparhawk and his bluegrass counterparts will celebrate the record with a home-state show at The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul on Dec. 11. They'll perform their new nine-track record at the show, accompanied by an opening set from Nona Invie (Dark Dark Dark), who also happens to have a weekly June residency at Berlin in Downtown Minneapolis that starts on Sunday. (Similar to Sparhawk, Invie released their first solo record earlier this year.) Tickets for Alan Sparhawk with Trampled by Turtles go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Must-see concerts this week: Kendrick Lamar, Paul Simon, Bob Mould
Here's a look at what's hitting Twin Cities stages this week. Tuesday, April 15 at The Cedar Cultural Center After a tour with Alan Sparhawk and the release of Halo on the Inside, the powerfully voiced Haley Fohr brings her dark, spectral music to the Cedar. The Chicago-based artist has an unmistakably powerful voice with an impressive range. The new record — produced by MN-based artist Andrew Broder — alternately feels influenced by Ministry, Aphex Twin, Philip Glass, and Kate Bush. Saturday, April 19 at Palace Theatre Bob Mould isn't just getting an honorary degree from Macalester College this spring; he's bringing his three-piece — with longtime collaborators Jon Wurster and Jason Narducy — to the Palace on the back of his 15th solo album, Here We Go Crazy, an album that feels reflective without navel-gazing or throwing his punk roots so far aside as to feel staid. Poster Children open. Saturday, April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium The Grammy-winning rapper and star of February's Super Bowl Half Time Show will open his new tour at U.S. Bank Stadium. He'll be accompanied by SZA, who guests on two tracks of K Dot's new album, GNX. Expect a theatrical presentation from one of the most influential contemporary names in hip-hop. Sunday, April 20 and Tuesday, April 22–Wednesday, April 23 at Orpheum Theater The legendary songwriter retired from touring years ago, in part because of "severe hearing loss." Nonetheless, he's back on the road with a show designed by his team in collaboration with the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss, which allows him to comfortably perform. It'll be Simon's first performance in Minnesota since his 2018 farewell tour. Sunday, April 20 at The Armory My Morning Jacket recently released is, the group's 10th studio album. Co-produced by Brendan O'Brien — a departure from having Jim James play a big role, if not the only role, in producing the past nine albums — it's notably different than their last few records. It doesn't rekindle the fire of their early records but does capture the kind of consistency that has made them something of an institution. I suppose that all means that the songwriting is tight, often catchy, but is without the adventurous spirit that blended alt-country with bombastic indie rock and a willingness to draw on more eclectic influences. That's not a terrible thing, especially for longtime fans who want to revel in what they already like about the Louisville rockers. Grace Cummings on Monday, April 14: ZDAY feat.

Must-see concerts this week: Jack White, AC/DC, Grant Hart tribute
Stadium tours, tributes to Twin Cities music greats, and a whole lot of other musicians are coming through the Twin Cities over the next handful of days. Here are the concerts worth catching during the week of April 7. Monday, April 7, and Tuesday, April 8 at Palace Theatre It was just last fall that Jack White appeared at First Avenue for an underplay shortly after the release of No Name. Now, the tour is circling back around to some bigger venues. During his two-night stand at the Palace, don't expect an epically long concert. He prefers to keep audiences wanting more. While the shows are sold out, there will be low-cost student tickets available at the door. But, if past setlists are any indication, there will be plenty of White Stripes songs. Thursday, April 10 at First Avenue Alan Sparhawk (of Low) released his first solo record last year (if we're not counting 2006's Solo Guitar). A persistent experimenter, White Roses, My God wasn't uncharted territory, but it was a departure from what fans expected from Low. Now, he's announced a collaborative album with fellow Duluth musicians Trampled By Turtles. But before that record arrives, he'll headline First Avenue in a co-bill with Mount Eerie. The prolific and elastic Phil Elverum project is a nice pairing with Sparhawk. Saturday, April 12 at Fine Line The quartet has come a long way since they went viral for a performance of their song "Racist, Sexist, Boy" at the LA Public Library years ago. They came through the Twin Cities last summer, opening for Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, and Rancid at Target Field. Now, following the release of their second album, No Obligation, they're headlining Fine Line on Record Store Day. For the record-buying holiday, they'll be doing a signing at Electric Fetus earlier in the April 10 at U.S. Bank Stadium AC/DC's first U.S. tour in a while will kick off at U.S. Bank Stadium. They may be in their '70s, but they're still at it and have, perhaps surprisingly, managed to continue ringing the bell for new generations. (See: My daughter.) Thursday, April 10 at Cloudland Theater In a benefit for LA Wildfire Relief, the long-running Twin Cities rock outfit Rank Strangers will headline a tribute to the late Hüsker Dü drummer and solo artist Grant Hart. The lineup for the night also includes Brian Herb, Nato Coles, The What Have Yous, and on Monday, April 7: Jack White at Palace Theatre Johnnyswim with Micah Edwards at The Uptown Theater Tatiana Eva-Marie & the Avalon Jazz Band at The Dakota Soul Trouvére at 331 Club (free) Wren + Wilde with Emmy Woods at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Roe Family Singers at 331 Club (free) Concerts on Tuesday, April 8: Jack White at Palace Theatre Ani DiFranco with Wryn at First Avenue Sawyer Hill at Fine Line Hiromi's Sonicwonder at The Dakota Just B at Varsity Theater Jackie Greene with Molly Maher at Turf Club Evening Elephants with Samy Sharif at 7th St. Entry Plvs Vltra, Comets Ov Cupid, and Erik's Iridescent Tent at Zhora Darling International Reggae Allstars at Bunker's Unattractive Giant Monster with Obchod Na Korze and Body Sensitive Marge at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Eldest Daughter with Kae Layne/The Daily Norm and Solomon Falls at 331 Club (free)Concerts on Wednesday, April 9: Scott Lucas (Local H) solo set with Busey at Cloudland Theater Tyga at The Fillmore Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas at the Fine Line Hiromi's Sonicwonder at The Dakota Jazz Is Dead feat.
