Los Angeles, by-way-of New Jersey, singer-songwriter and producer Sam MacPherson is on his first headlining “Powerlines Tour” … and he’ll stop by the 7th Street Entry on April 29th.

Named one of the top New Jersey artist to watch in 2023, MacPherson previously opened for Chelsea Cutler and The Brook & The Bluff, and collaborated with Stephen Sanchez, Jonah Kagen, Garrett Nash, VINCINT, and Quinn Lewis, among others.

MacPherson’s forthcoming project is slated for release later this year via Elektra Entertainment.

Los Angeles based alt-folk singer-songwriter Mikey Ferrari to open. He recently singed to Neon Gold Records (HAIM, Matt Maeson, et. al) to release “Crash Course” from upcoming Stories From Montana EP.

Ferrari adds details on the song, “Last year [when it] was a particularly dark time for me. I was living out of my car, sleeping on various friends’ couches while I was writing and recording this project. I felt like I was doing so much and was so busy but at the same time had lost track and feeling of myself and my identity despite unpacking so much of the baggage of years prior. The song is about states of depression and trauma I’ve experienced and how I’ve really questioned if I was really living a life or just inhabiting my own body. A year later I am so happy to be in a different place than I was. I am very grateful to be able to say that.”

Early in their set, singer Brandon Welchez joked that they were all pretty stinky and “would trade merch. for Lady Speedstick.” ”

English rock band The Psychedelic Furs is back in Minneapolis this Thursday, March 6th. We previously caught the Butler brothers (Richard & Tim) in 2013 and noted, “30+ years on, the frontman of legendary alt-rock group The Psychedelic Furs smiled and laughed as he twirled, crouched, and led his band through a joyous 90 min. set in First Avenue’s Mainroom Tuesday night. That obvious affection for what he does is infectious and enhances the overall appeal of seeing any act live; the Furs also no doubt helped by a healthy handful of time-honored radio classics that so many in the audience knew every word to.”

Robyn Hitchcock will be opening the show. The iconic singer is out promoting his 21st studio recording, but first-ever eponymous release. The new record is basically a re-introduction “Robyn Hitchcock” to a new audience. Hitchcock adds, “Think of me as a new act - I'm only 63. People always ask me, where should I start listening to your records? I'm a train with many carriages. I thought, I'll just make this record and if people like this one, then they'll probably like the others. If they don’t, it’s not worth them listening to any of them, really.”

Also on the bill, local DJ Jake Rudh of Transmission to play music videos as we wait for the band.

Delicate Steve is back at 7th Street Entry. Delicate Steve’s Anti- Record’s debut album This is Steve (and their first album in four years) is out now.

The last time we saw Delicate Steve, it was in 2012, and we wrote, “Oh Delicate Steve, where do I start? These dudes know how to rock. The guitar band from New Jersey played with the crowd literally last night in New Orleans at the Circle Bar. The last song, the band brought the entire to pack the tiny stage and rock the night away to the crowd favorite "Butterfly". It gets you in that mood of running and jumping in the air at the same time with cowbells and tambourines.”
