[POSTPONED: June 27, 2021] Mountain Goats (solo) [rescheduled from June 4 and October 12, 2020; moved to September 26, 2021]
I thought this date might go on since things are starting to reopen, but presumably it wasn’t going to be 100% capacity, so it was pushed back just a few more months.
Unfortunately, the new date conflicts with another show, so 18 months of waiting for nothing.
When this show was rescheduled there were still a few chairs left. Musikfest Cafe seems like a pretty safe venue–lots of distancing available. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to a show yet. Having it postponed, made the decision for me.
I like The Mountain Goats quite a lot. I think John Darnielle is a great songwriter.
I’ve never seen them (or him) live and I’ve often thought it would be an enjoyable night, but they’re usually just under my radar.
I’d usually prefer to see a band rather than its lead singer solo, but in this case, I don’t know if it would make that much of a difference to me. Seeing him at the Musikfest Cafe would be pretty fantastic–a great venue with excellent acoustics.
The biggest surprise to me is how quickly his shows sell out. If this one hadn;t sold it, it was very close, by the time it was postponed.
