SUMMARY:Hunter Hayes: The Evergreen Tour @ Taft Theatre
DESCRIPTION:HUNTER HAYES ANNOUNCES NEW RECORD\nWITH ACCOMPANYING TOUR \n \nTAFT THEATRE \nFRIDAY\, APRIL 17 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, December 12 at 10am \nCincinnati\, OH (12/4/25) – Today\, 5x GRAMMY® nominated and PLATINUM-selling\, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter\, Hunter Hayes announced his new album\, Evergreen\, releasing March 6th\, 2026. In addition to the forthcoming album\, Hayes also announced his 2026 headlining Evergreen Tour\, which will kick off on March 25th in Hopewell\, VA and stop by Cincinnati\, OH for a performance at Taft Theatre on Friday\, April 17. Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines will support as special guests for the Cincinnati performance. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10am on Friday\, December 12 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nThis new project features pop\, country\, R&B\, and indie rock-infused elements while exploring themes of growth\, connection\, and joy. Recorded with Alex Flagstad\, Evergreen captures the full scope of Hayes’ creativity – songs that are as emotionally rich as they are musically daring. From the buoyant optimism of “Around the Sun\,” to the playful vulnerability of “Every Piece\,” and the infectious tension of “Wait\,” these recent releases reveal Hayes as a songwriter in constant evolution\, whose heart-forward storytelling continues to resonate across generations. \nOf the record\, Hayes says\, “Evergreen started as a series of letters from my future self. In some ways a prayer\, and in some ways manifestation. I wanted to make a project from the future. It’s full of hope\, optimism\, light and love. It’s an escape from reality as well as a new way to appreciate the good things in our everyday life\, and how every experience shapes us to better and brighter versions of ourselves as we create a better version of our future.” \nA warm\, cinematic statement on growth\, renewal and self-discovery\, Evergreen blends hope\, authenticity\, and emotional clarity into a collection that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. The album examines the core value that love\, presence\, and compassion begin with the self. Across its songs\, Hayes questions long-held beliefs about performance\, worthiness\, love\, and masculinity\, embracing a definition of strength that is soft and evolving. Guided by his motto\, “Be good to yourself and the world around you\,” Evergreen showcases Hayes at his most fully expressive artistic chapter yet. \nABOUT HUNTYER HAYES \nGRAMMY®-nominated\, multi-instrumentalist and PLATINUM-selling artist\, Hunter Hayes is an embodiment of a musician that embraces evolution and redefines boundaries. Bursting onto the scene with his PLATINUM-certified debut album\, Hayes has charted a unique course through the genre-bending course he was destined to explore. \nThe Louisiana native has amassed over 3 billion global on-demand streams since his debut\, with seven singles achieving gold and 10x PLATINUM certifications. His electrifying on-stage performances have not only stolen the hearts of fans but have also earned him spots on tours with superstars like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood\, and resulted in his own sold-out headlining shows across the US\, Canada\, Europe\, and Asia. \nWith more than 50 award nominations and wins\, including five GRAMMY® nominations\, Hayes’ journey is just getting started.

Moreover\, he previously SOLD OUT every stop on last year’s WORLD ON FIRE TOUR. \nRemaining prolific\, Smith caps this wildly successful year having impressively earned his fourth consecutive #1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart with “Fix What You Didn’t Break\,” before recently gaining major traction with celebratory anthem “After Midnight” (Sony Music Nashville) – his brand-new collaboration with DIAMOND-certified superstar and 23x hitmaker Tyler Hubbard (MCA). Rallying “rowdy\, good-ol’-boy\, good-time vocals\,” as hailed by MusicRow\, it took flight as the most added at Country radio with 60 first-week stations launching the single and marking his second biggest impact date of his hitmaking career. Listen to “After Midnight” and watch the Jeff Johnson and Kaiser Cunningham-directed music video. \nABOUT NATE SMITH \nJust two years after smashing the doors open to the Country music scene\, MULTI-PLATINUM chart-topper Nate Smith has risen to the ranks of the genre’s biggest hitmakers. With over 2.9 BILLION global career streams to date\, he’s already earned his fourth consecutive #1 with current single “Fix What You Didn’t Break” (Sony Music Nashville)\, after becoming the first artist in Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart history to launch their career with three straight multi-week #1 smashes including 3X PLATINUM #1 “Whiskey On You”; PLATINUM\, record-setting\, 10-week consecutive #1 “World on Fire”; and PLATINUM #1 “Bulletproof.” The Paradise\, California-born musician made a knockout debut in 2023 with his GOLD self-titled LP\, and next brought his high-octane brand of Country to his sophomore album\, California Gold\, the following year with genre-defying collaborations featuring Avril Lavigne and Alesso (on the #1 Dance hit “I Like It”). With his TV appearances including TODAY\, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!\, Smith’s racked up nominations from CMA\, CMT\, iHeartRadio\, and People’s Choice Country Awards\, all while being recognized as ACM New Male Artist of the Year 2024\, Billboard’s Country Power Players Rookie of the Year 2024\, and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Artist 2024\, and winning acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone\, GRAMMY.com\, American Songwriter\, Los Angeles Times\, and The Tennessean (who praised him as “country music’s fastest-rising beloved voice”). Selling out crowds across the country as an incendiary headliner with his LONG LIVE COUNTRY ROCK AND ROLL TOUR next spring\, he’s also on deck as direct support for Jason Aldean’s FULL THROTTLE TOUR 2026\, after previously opening for Thomas Rhett\, Cole Swindell\, and Morgan Wallen. Dropping “After Midnight” featuring Tyler Hubbard\, after last joining forces with HARDY for “Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend\,” he also delivered the deeply poignant “Dads Don’t Die.” Smith is managed by Kevin “Chief” Zaruk and Simon Tikhman with The Core Entertainment. \nABOUT JOSH ROSS \nMCA / Mercury Nashville / Universal Music Canada / CORE Records artist Josh Ross is carving his own lane in country music. The Nashville-based singer made waves with a series of independent releases before scoring his first No. 1 hit on U.S. country radio with “Single Again” in 2025 after a 71-week climb\, notching a massive milestone in his burgeoning career. The success of “Single Again” puts Ross in an elite category as the first male Canadian country artist in nearly 30 years to top the Billboard Country Airplay chart. \nRoss is building upon this star power with his debut album\, Later Tonight\, a collection of 15 songs\, including current country radio single “Hate How You Look\,” that show off the smooth singer’s range of emotions and songwriting prowess. Having opened for superstars like Luke Bryan\, Jelly Roll\, Nickelback\, and more\, Ross has just started making his mark. \nABOUT BRANDON WISHAM \nA powerful new voice in country music\, 22-year-old singer/songwriter Brandon Wisham possesses the kind of raw talent that instantly commands the spotlight. Originally from Savannah\, Georgia but raised in Williamston\, South Carolina\, he grew up as the youngest of seven children and took up guitar as a child\, then began playing cover shows in local bars when he was just 15. At 19\, he wrote his first-ever song — “Pain Won’t Last\,” a heartrending track about losing his father to Covid — and quickly landed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and The Core Entertainment. Along with cutting his own version of “Pain Won’t Last” for 2023’s platinum-certified Religiously. The Album.\, country superstar Bailey Zimmerman enlisted the rising young musician as support for a major tour that launched in LA in early 2024. After spending much of last year on the road (including a run of dates with Josh Ross) and captivating sold-out rooms with just his soulful vocals and acoustic guitar\, Wisham headed into the studio with producer Brandon Hood (Ty Myers\, Mackenzie Carpenter). Wisham kicked off the year with the release of his debut single “Back Together” followed by “Better Than The Day\,” which shortly after got added to SiriusXM The Highway On The Horizon. With “Growin’ Up\,” Wisham shows his more introspective side and serves up a sing-along-ready reflection on coming of age\, while his latest track\, “She’s Good\,” adds an emotionally charged anthem to his growing catalog. With just four songs out\, SiriusXM The Highway named Wisham as a recent “Highway Find.” Wisham also made his CMA Fest debut this year as well as joined Chase Matthew on stage for his Kansas City show. Now with a big summer and fall ahead\, Wisham will join Tyler Hubbard\, Lakeview\, Austin Snell\, and then Nate Smith on select dates nationwide. New singles like “Whiskey’s Whisperin’” continue to build on his momentum and give a further glimpse into his reflective storytelling. The Nashville-based artist is revealing the full force of his musical prowess on his first series of singles — a deeply personal batch of songs graced with equal parts unfiltered humanity and fiercely hopeful spirit.

SUMMARY:Puscifer's Normal Isn't Tour @ Taft Theater
DESCRIPTION:PUSCIFER’S NORMAL ISN’T TOUR\nCOMES TO CINCINNATI \nTAFT THEATRE \nAPRIL 19 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, October 24 at 10am \nCincinnati\, OH (10/21/25) – Puscifer\, the multi-dimensional band featuring Maynard James Keenan\, Mat Mitchell and Carina Round\, brings their highly-anticipated Normal Isn’t Tour to Taft Theatre on April 19. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10am on Friday\, October 24 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nThe tour celebrates the band’s first new album in over five years\, Normal Isn’t (Feb. 6\, Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG). The record channels the post-punk influences that shaped the members’ early musical experiences while pushing into darker\, more guitar-driven territory. \n“We’re definitely leaning into our early influences\,” Keenan shares. “It’s the place where goth meets punk. It’s where I came from.” \nWritten and recorded across Arizona\, Los Angeles\, and on the road during last year’s Sessanta tour\, Normal Isn’t blends the dark electronics and sharp humor Puscifer is known for with a more spontaneous creative process. “From the outset\, we had discussed an element of rawness and edge\, which guitar brings\,” shares Mitchell\, who co-produced the album. “We got rid of the guard rails and made the music more aggressive. \nFor Keenan\, this release represents a new approach to songwriting. While he’s always been deeply involved in shaping Puscifer’s sound\, this time he set-up his own digital recording system and built full song ideas before presenting them to Mat and Carina. \nThat shift gives the music fresh immediacy\, one that Round says changed the dynamic in the studio. “Instead of just saying\, ‘I want this to sound like Fleetwood Mac on cocaine if they had a baby with PJ Harvey\,’ Maynard was showing us his intention\, which was really cool\,” she explains. “In Puscifer\, any idea can totally change without any preciousness\, and everybody is on board – not unlike an insane asylum. We found each other because we’re demented in a symbiotic way.” \n“Normal Isn’t reflects this time we are living in\,” Keenan adds. “As storytellers and artists\, our job is to observe\, interpret\, and report. We take in our environment and share what we see\, and what we see around us does not appear normal. Not by a long shot.” \nContributors to the new collection include Greg Edwards (bass)\, Gunnar Olsen (drums)\, and Sarah Jones (drums) with guests Tony Levin (bass on “Normal Isn’t” and “Seven One”)\, Danny Carey (drums on “Seven One”) and Mr. Ian Ross (father of Atticus Ross\, who narrates “Seven One”). \nNormal Isn’t is available now for pre-order and pre-saves (https://Puscifer.lnk.to/NormalIsnt)\, including multiple limited-edition vinyl variants: standard black\, indie retail orange swirl\, a Puscifer.com exclusive black ice and clear with black splatter\, and a Queen B Vinyl Café fruit punch in tan with black and white splatter. The album is also available on CD\, cassette\, and digitally. \nABOUT PUSCIFER \nPuscifer is a band of three creative confidants\, namely Mat Mitchell\, Carina Round\, and Maynard James Keenan\, who fuse music\, performance\, and visual art into a singular experience. Over the years\, Puscifer has carved an indelible mark on the cultural landscape\, releasing a series of acclaimed albums\, selling out famed venues\, appearing on the lineups of Coachella\, Bonnaroo\, and other major festivals\, and even curating their own touring festival\, Sessanta. They’ve provided what was essentially the soundtrack to the first season of “Yellowstone\,” and their albums regularly land on the top 30 of the Billboard Top 200. They’ve made memorable appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the “The Late Show\,” bringing their signature blend of precision\, wit\, and theatricality to late night television. \nPuscifer has also welcomed a revolving door of collaborators\, from musicians like Greg Edwards\, Gunnar Olsen\, and Sarah Jones to remixers including Trent Reznor\, Atticus Ross\, Phantogram\, and Sir Mix-A-Lot\, as well as actors Bob Odenkirk and Milla Jovovich. It’s also a universe for the (mis)adventures of original characters: Billy D\, (his wife) Hildy Berger\, Major Douche\, and Special Agent Dick Merkin. More than a band\, Puscifer is a creative ecosystem; a boundary-pushing collective where sound\, story\, and spectacle collide. \nPuscifer.com\nYouTube.com/pusciferdotcom\nInstagram.com/puscifer\nFacebook.com/puscifermusic\nTikTok.com/@puscifermusic01

SUMMARY:Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat LIVE @ Lexington Opera House
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat – Live on Stage! at \nthe Lexington Opera House on Wednesday\, April 22\, 2026 \nGeneral On-Sale Begins Friday\, December 5 at 10 A.M. \nLocal via Ticketmaster.com and LexingtonOperaHouse.com \n \nLEXINGTON\, KY (December 2\, 2025) –– Few children’s books have stood the test of time quite like Dr. Seuss’s 200-word masterpiece ‘The Cat in the Hat’. As the top-selling children’s author of all time\, the story is as popular now as it was in the 1950s when Oxford University-educated Theodor ‘Seuss’ Geisel wrote the book.  Now\, both children & adults alike are sure to be left in raptures by this zany and imaginative stage show\, which will bring the story to life on stage at the Lexington Opera House on Wednesday\, April 22\, 2026! \nThis version of the show has been credited by the Dr. Seuss estate as being the Number 1 version of the show worldwide\, with over 300 performances in over 60 cities.  The play was adapted for the stage in 2009 by the National Theatre of Great Britain\, telling the story just like the book\, of a brother and sister\, bored at home on a rainy day…(without their Mother!!??) when they are visited by none other than ‘The Cat’ in his red and white striped Hat….(which they let in the door!!??). Their outspoken and outraged pet Fish (yup\, the fish talks… and is the babysitter!?) is astounded and concerned\, but the cat is not easily deterred. He will teach us all to make our own fun with nothing but a little imagination.  “It’s fun to have fun\, but you have to know how.” Along with his friends\, Thing One and Thing Two\, they turn the house upside down\, leaving mess everywhere\, but have no fear because The Cat brings in his red ‘Picker-Up Machine’ and all returns to normal before Mom walks back in the door. \nA timeless tale with a twist—this energetic adaptation bursts onto the stage (and maybe into the aisles). Expect laughs\, surprises\, and just a bit of delightful disorder! \nTickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 A.M. on Friday\, December 5\, at ticketmaster.com\, lexingtonoperahouse.com\, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.

SUMMARY:Kenny Wayne Shepherd @ Taft Theater
DESCRIPTION:KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD\nANNOUNCES 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR\nCELEBRATING GROUNDBREAKING DEBUT\nLEDBETTER HEIGHTS \nTAFT THEATRE \nAPRIL 23 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, October 3 at 10am \nCincinnati\, OH (9/29/25) – Platinum-selling\, five-time GRAMMY-nominated blues-rock icon Kenny Wayne Shepherd has announced a major new tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his groundbreaking debut album\, Ledbetter Heights. The “Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour” will launch February 19th\, 2026 in Dallas\, TX\, and will bring Shepherd and his band to Cincinnati\, OH for a performance at Taft Theatre on April 23. \nThe tour will feature songs from Ledbetter Heights\, performed in its entirety as well as songs highlighting Shepherd’s remarkable 30-year career. This anniversary celebration marks a new chapter for Shepherd – one that revisits the fire and grit of his 1995 debut while showcasing his evolution as one of modern blues’ most vital and enduring voices. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10am on Friday\, October 3 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nThirty years ago\, a young Kenny Wayne from Shreveport\, Louisiana – armed with a Fender Strat – brought the blues roaring back into the mainstream. With fiery fretwork\, pop-rock hooks\, and a deep reverence for the genre\, Shepherd’s debut album\, Ledbetter Heights\, became a breakout success – going Gold within months\, Platinum by early 1996\, and eventually landing the guitarist at No. 3 on Guitar World’s list of top blues artists\, behind only B.B. King and Eric Clapton. \n“In a lot of ways\, this is the album that gave me everything\,” says Shepherd. “Revisiting it put me back in touch with the wonder and excitement of those days. I didn’t know what lay ahead. I just knew I loved playing the blues.” \nOriginally recorded while Shepherd was still in high school\, Ledbetter Heights was the culmination of years spent absorbing Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix licks on cassette\, then translating them into a sound all his own. He wrote or co-wrote nearly every track on the record – uncommon for a teenage blues guitarist at the time – and named the album in honor of an historic neighborhood in his hometown\, paying tribute to local blues legend Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter. \nThe album catapulted Shepherd into the national spotlight and set the tone for a career that’s seen him tour with the likes of Bob Dylan\, Van Halen\, The Rolling Stones\, and Lynyrd Skynyrd; earn five GRAMMY nominations; and release a string of chart-topping albums that bridge blues tradition with modern rock swagger. \nFar from resting on early success\, Shepherd has remained one of the genre’s most restless and respected innovators. His 12-album discography (plus two albums with supergroup The Rides\, alongside Stephen Stills and Barry Goldberg) reflects a deep commitment to blues history – and a refusal to stand still. His recent collaboration with 91-year-old blues icon Bobby Rush (Young Fashioned Ways) and the genre-busting double album Dirt on My Diamonds Vol. 1 & 2 are proof of an artist still stretching\, still growing\, still listening. \nThis 30th anniversary chapter promises to bring things full circle\, especially for longtime fans who will finally get to hear vocalist Noah Hunt perform the Ledbetter Heights material live. Hunt has appeared on every other Kenny Wayne Shepherd album since his debut\, but never sang on the original release – making this tour a meaningful and long-anticipated moment. As Shepherd puts it\, “That’s always been the missing piece – and now the circle feels complete.”

SUMMARY:Alice Cooper @ Rose Music Center @ The Heights
DESCRIPTION:ALICE COOPER \nANNOUNCES SPRING 2026 HEADLINE TOUR \nROSE MUSIC CENTER AT THE HEIGHTS \nSATURDAY\, APRIL 25\, 2026 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, January 30 at 10AM \nHUBER HEIGHTS\, OH (1/26/2026) – Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame and music icon ALICE COOPER has been bringing his thrilling theatrics to audiences of all ages for decades\, drawing equally from horror movies\, vaudeville\, and garage rock. He will return to stages this spring on his headline “Alice’s Attic” tour\, which includes a return to Huber Heights\, OH for a performance at Rose Music Center on Saturday\, April 25. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday\, January 30 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office. \nAlice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock.  Drawing equally from horror movies\, vaudeville\, and garage rock\, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs\, guillotines\, fake blood and boa constrictors. \nWith a schedule that includes six months each year on the road\, Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new\, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock\, Cooper (in both the original Alice Cooper band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo\, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn\, like a great horror movie\, even in an era where CNN can present real life shocking images. \nAlice insists he’s still motivated to continue touring and recording albums.  Currently booked through the end of 2026 across both the USA and Europe\, Alice released a new album last July\, “The Revenge of Alice Cooper\,” a reunion of the original Alice Cooper band that rocked the world in the ‘70’s – their first new album together since 1973\, once again produced by Bob Ezrin. \nWith his influence on rock & roll and popular culture long since acknowledged\, there is little that Alice Cooper hasn’t achieved in his remarkable career\, including platinum albums\, sold-out tours and any number of honors and career achievement awards.  As he heads out on tour in 2026\, Alice shows no signs of slowing down.

PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINING TOUR \nSELF-TITLED 6TH STUDIO ALBUM OUT TODAY \nTAFT THEATRE \nMAY 5\, 2026 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, October 17 at 10AM \nCincinnati\, OH (10/10/2025) – St. Paul & The Broken Bones\, who NPR Music has hailed as “one of the nation’s best live bands\,” today release their 6th studio album\, the self-titled St. Paul & The Broken Bones via their own label\, Oasis Pizza Records\, distributed by Thirty Tigers. The album\, from the ever-evolving Southern-soul giants\, signifies both a reinvention and a reunion\, stretching out with the confident experimental spirit of The Alien Coast and (2022) and Angels in Science Fiction (2023)\, but with a warmer\, accessible\, and fun sound that recalls the exuberance and buoyancy of their breakout debut\, Half the City (2014). St. Paul & The Broken Bones is available on all formats here. \nToday\, the band also announced their 28-date North American headlining tour\, which will kick off in March 2026 and find the band performing in Cincinnati at Taft Theatre on May 5\, 2026 with support from Brother Wallace. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday\, October 17 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nWith the new LP\, co-written and produced with the decorated Eg White (Adele\, Florence + The Machine\, Sam Smith) and tracked with the band – consisting of Janeway\, Phillips\, guitarist Browan Lollar\, drummer Kevin Leon\, keyboardist Al Gamble\, trumpeter Allen Branstetter\, saxophonist Amari Ansari\, and trombonist Chad Fisher— at the renowned FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals\, the band decided to stop pushing so hard and simply focus on classic “song craft.” For Janeway\, these 10 thrilling tunes feel like “comfort food\,” like hanging out at a “great barbecue joint.” \nThe album follows 2023’s Angels In Science Fiction\, and with that vibrant era in the rearview\, there was an opportunity to regroup\, which resulted in a return to their roots\, if through a circuitous path. Janeway started collaborating with a series of co-writers and featured artists\, eventually finding the perfect partner in White: a prolific\, London-based pop-rock veteran who’s co-written and produced hits with stars like Adele (“Chasing Pavements”) and Celine Dion (“Water and a Flame”). Aided by that expert ear\, Janeway finished a batch of new music he was proud of—but he pivoted back to full-band mode in January ’24\, regrouping with his old friends at FAME Studios\, where they’d mixed their debut\, Half the City\, over a decade earlier. \nIt had been several years since they’d written together in this format\, and during the session Phillips asked an intriguing question: ‘Hey\, man\, can I hear some of the stuff you wrote with Eg White?” Janeway was initially reluctant to bring this music “into the band sphere\,” but his co-founder convinced him otherwise. They dusted off some of those tracks\, melding them with the new group-written material. “Basically\, our philosophy for the record was ‘best song wins\,'” the frontman says. \nThe resulting songs felt like a comforting hug\, lived in\, confident\, and fun. “Fall Moon\,” includes a rippling Hammond organ and nostalgic brass; the bluesy “I saw the light” with a chorus of the swaggering “Ooo-Wee”; the stabbing electric keys and signature falsetto sweetness on “I Think You Should Know”; the deep-pocket bass and growling hooks on “Nothing More Lonely”; the breezy slice-of-life that is “Seagulls\,” St. Paul still branches out in subtle ways stretching out the experimental muscles the band has developed over the years. \nWith St. Paul & the Broken Bones\, Janeway felt like they’d taken their sonic searching as far it could go—or at least “without doing some kind of death-metal album.” But it raised a lot of important questions: “‘What are we doing? What is the band now?’ You go through that kind of identity-crisis stuff. What is the band\, and is this still creatively satisfying?” The answer is a resounding yes. “Making this record was a long journey\, but I think it’s one of those rare times where it felt really worth it\,” Janeway says. “It feels very much like a renewed energy. And who knows? We might make our death metal record next.”St. 01
