Last time Conor Oberst was in town, one of the most epic spontaneous drum circles ever to happen in George’s parking lot broke out after the show, featuring members of the band along with a handful of talented local percussionists.
It went on for several minutes. People were literally dancing along in the parking lot at 3 a.m.
That’s unlikely to happen again when Oberst and band show up for a show at George’s on May 23, but part of the beauty of live music and performance is is, you just never know.
It will be the first trip to Fayetteville for the singer and creative force behind Bright Eyes, Desaparecidos, and member of the super-group Monsters of Folk, since that show nearly eight years ago.
Oberst’s trip to town is in part to promote his new 17 track album, Salutations, released back in March. The album includes full-band versions of the 10 songs from last year’s stripped down release, Ruminations, plus seven previously unreleased songs. Phoebe Bridgers is set to open the show.
Tickets are $26, but you won’t have to worry about all that if you’re the winner of the following giveaway. Good luck.
