Caroline Rose
with IAN SWEET
at First Avenue

Country/folk singer Caroline Rose is headlining First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on April 20, 2024. The singer’s latest The Art of Forgetting (New West Records) was nominated for Best Recording Package.

Caroline Rose (31 May 2016)

We caught Rose in May 2016 and wrote, “Opening up the show was Caroline Rose in “modern-day hobo” wear, complete with flip-flops. We previously seen the vagabond with Rateliff in 2014 and we wrote that they were “Americana” but noted that they seemed to go beyond that. Rose is joined on stage by Pat Melvin on bass, Brett Lanier on pedal steel, and Dan Davine on drums. Notably gone is the upright bass! ”

Ian Sweet (06 Aug 2022)

Ian Sweet to open. We saw her a few times, the last being in Aug 2022: “Despite what Ian Sweet told us on stage, this was Sweet’s fourth time in Minneapolis (she mentioned she’s been three times on stage). She could be right, she may have cancelled an appearance… but according to our W♥M archive, this was her fourth time here: The first, in May 31, 2017 with Girlpool and Snail Mail at 7th Street Entry. The second with Ted Leo And The Pharmacists in November 11, 2017. The third as headliner at the 7th Street Entry October 29, 2018.”
