Alex Lahey Setlist

It’s hard to believe that last Tuesday’s Alex Lahey show, at the 7th Street Entry, was her fourth time as headliner in the area.
Opening the show was Liza Anne, with her drummer friend Allie (Allie Cuva). Allie is actually a songwriter herself and have gone on tour as the opener for the Katy Kirby and Sun June show in Mar 2022. In the middle of Liza’s set, Allie took up the guitar and sang one of her songs, “Long Vacation.”
We previously saw Liza with Lucy Dacus in Oct 2019. She had a full band, back in 2019, and the band was clearly undressed for Minneapolis’ weather. There were no complaints at Tuesday’s show, so I’m assuming Liza came to Minneapolis prepared.
Songs on Liza’s set included “I Shouldn't Ghost My Therapist” and, my favorite, the ironic upbeat song “Cheerleader”, which ended her set… complete with a pair of pom poms.
As the Australian songwriter Alex Lahey confessed, she loves Minneapolis… but the first time that she came here in 25 November 2017, she had no idea this place (Minneapolis) existed… let alone people living here. The second time she came back, in 01 August 2018, she was treated so warmly that she now looks forward to play the city and make sure Minneapolis is on her tour itinerary.
Tuesday’s night was no exception, with many fans screaming as soon as Lahey took the stage. As you can see from the setlist, some songs were from her new album The Answer Is Always Yes (Liberation Records). She even played a couple of requests, “You’ll Never Get Your Money Back” and “Wes Anderson”. The latter is a love song about going to see a Wes Anderson film, “We went to the movies because I know you like Wes Anderson. You held my hand the whole time, and, no joke, you have the softest skin.”
Based on her fanbase and her love for Minneapolis, it won’t be long when Alex Lahey will be back in town.
