British singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jack Garratt is currently on tour with Mumford and Sons, but on his off days with the massive band, he's booked a few smaller side gigs - including one at 7th Street Entry on Saturday, August 8th.

We've already mentioned Garratt when we spotlighted him at this year's SXSW so we're pretty excited to get this great opportunity to check out this one-man show at this tiny venue in Downtown Minneapolis.

Madison's Electronic Pop duo Oh My Love to open the show.
