Jon Auer is coming to town

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…)
