BoDeans played to a sold-out show at the Weesner Family Amphitheater at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley, last night, July 28th.
Opening up was Minneapolis' the Honeydogs. The band's age and music styles are a good fit for the BoDeans. With seven band members of varying age, I can see why Lara called them straightforward mature rock. The brass section (trumpet and trombone) does add a nice punch to their music. They ended their set with "10,000 Years" and "Devil We Do."
You can tell that Wisconsin's BoDeans has quite a big fanbase in Minneapolis. Sure, their fans are all now aging parents with their children, but they were still quite dedicated fans.
Although the BoDeans is playing live shows to promote their latest album, American Made, they knew what the fans wanted: the hits. What they did right was that they sandwiched the new songs (like "Flyaway" and "All the World") between old favorites.
I have to say that the new songs sounded great live, there's a hint of Irish traditional and Johnny Cash-influence in them, especially when you hear the fiddle and accordion.
They ended their set on a strong finish with a double-wammy of crowd-pleasers "Fadeaway" and "Good Things." They could've have left it there and the audience would've been satiated. With only five minutes to spare, they came back for a quick encore of their big hit single, "Closer to Free."
BoDeans' latest album, American Made, is out now.

Our first thoughts on the BoDeans and Honeydogs show.
Topics discussed:
• Subway Music In The Zoo series: BoDeans at the Weesner Family Amphitheater at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley.
• Weesner great lighting and birdshow in the daytime.
• Sold-out show for this Sue McLean's show. The only independent female local music promoter.
• 26-year band mixes of young & old members. Set list is a good mix of old and new (but mostly old as they closed out their set).
• Song of the show is BoDeans' "All the World," from American Made
BONUS: New songs from American Made sounded great.
