The guy Mat­thew Sweet always wished he could be. Pos­sibly. He’s in town for one show only. (Remem­ber Mat­thew Sweet?)

From the press-release:

Jon Auer is co-founder of one of the most crit­ic­ally-acclaimed power-pop bands, The Posies, and has also spent a good deal of time in the legendary Big Star with the grand­daddy of all ’em power-pop­sters, Alex Chilton. He also finds time to be the self-con­fessed num­ber one solo sad­core artist in the world.

With his excep­tion­al song­writ­ing, emin­ently-hum­mable melod­ies, and unique music­al vis­ion, he takes listen­ers to son­ic and emo­tion­al ter­rit­or­ies far bey­ond the expec­ted para­met­ers of the pop genre.

John Auer brings his sig­na­ture gui­tar-work and angel­ic voice to MVP for one very spe­cial, intim­ate night.

Sat­urday the 3rd of March
MVP, Dix­on Street
Doors open at 8pm.
$20 pre­s­ales from Slow Boat records ($15 with an Act­ive Card).

Thanks to Steph­en for the heads up (and for mak­ing me look like I know a bit about music…)
