Furnace marks a whole lot of firsts for the accomplished songwriter. It’s his first time putting his long-running, popular string band, Trampled by Turtles, on hiatus to focus all of his efforts on a more personal project. It’s his first time speaking so plainly and literally about something happening in his private life.

With special guests The Pines and Erik Koskinen. First Avenue Mainroom. Friday, February 10, 2017. 7:00pm. $20.00. 18+.

Presented by: 89.3 The Current and City Pages.
