Nashville based, Oregon born multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer Mat Kearney will be headlining the State Theatre in Minneapolis on September 12, 2024.

Mat Kearney at Roy Wilkins Auditorium (27 Oct 2016)

We saw Mat Kearney in Oct 2016 and wrote, “Another familiar face to the area is Oregon native and Nashville-based singer-songwriter Mat Kearney, who took a break from creation of the follow up to last year’s Just Kids (Republic Records), to join the Tour de Compadres. Kearney’s generous fifty-minute set was testament to his own headlining potential in a venue this size and he made the most of his time. With a band that included Minneapolis resident Tyler Burkum on guitar (ex-Audio Adrenaline, Leagues) , Kearney’s set sounded robust and much more electronic and full sounding, than his initial folk singer-songwriter vibe. Before ‘Nothing Left to Lose’, Kearney feigned a quick verse of ‘Purple Rain’ before quickly discarding it, admitting he’s never played the song before, then redeemed himself by declaring us the “coolest cold city” in America.”

Darren Kiely to open.

The Sydney duo Royel Otis is returning to the USA this fall. This upcoming First Avenue show in Minneapolis on September 15, 2024, has long sold out.

Royel Otis at Amsterdam Bar (23 Apr 2024)

We were lucky enough to have caught the band in Apr 2024 and wrote, “The hottest band in the world right now is Sydney’s Royel Otis (duo Otis Pavlovic and Royel Maddell), out on a world tour to support their debut album PRATTS & PAIN (via OURNESS). The band sold out the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, in St Paul, on Tuesday night, with many young and even old/retired fans coming out on a work night to get a glimpse of the band, thanks to their viral cover of “Murder on the Dancefloor” … which, of course, the band saved near the end of the set to play, to very happy fans on the dancefloor.”
