Lambchop: An Intimate Piano Performance

Kurt Wagner of Lambchop brings his intimate piano show to the Howard Assembly Room, joined by Minneapolis-based musician and producer Andrew Broder.

In a rare opportunity to see these two incredible musicians up-close and personal, this special collaboration strips down Lambchop’s classic songs to their essence, and highlights their emotional power, beauty and complexity.

Lambchop was formed in Nashville in 1986 and has since released over a dozen critically acclaimed albums on City Slang and Merge Records. Their sound has evolved to incorporate elements of soul, jazz, and country into their music. Throughout it all, Kurt Wagner’s voice has remained the heart and soul of the band, a powerful and emotive instrument that can convey a world of emotion with just a few well-chosen words.

Andrew Broder, meanwhile, has carved out his own niche in the music world as a producer, musician, and frontman of the experimental group Fog. With his deep knowledge of music theory and his love of experimentation, Broder has become known for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in music, blending genres and sounds in new and exciting ways.

Together, Wagner and Broder have worked on some of Lambchop’s most critically acclaimed albums, including The Bible and Showtunes. On these records, Broder’s contributions were instrumental in creating the lush, layered sound that Lambchop is known for. By combining Wagner’s heartfelt songwriting with Broder’s sonic experimentation, they were able to create something truly unique and memorable.

Their concerts together promise to be a continuation of this fruitful collaboration, with Wagner and Broder pushing each other to new heights of creativity and expression. Whether you are a longtime fan of Lambchop or are new to their music, this is a date that you won’t want to miss.
