March 21, 2011, Monday - The BoDeans at the Guthrie

Time: 7:30 pm

Location: Guthrie Theater, Wurtele Thrust Stage

Twenty three years after their T-Bone Burnett produced debut Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams led them to win a Rolling Stone reader's poll as Best New American Band, the BoDeans are still rocking and harmonizing gracefully, touring the U.S. regularly and exposing the kids of their longtime steadfast fans to real, heartfelt and trend-free music. Best known for their mid-90s Billboard Top 20 hit anthem Closer To Free, the dynamic musical duo — Kurt Neumann (vocals and electric guitar) and Sam Llanas (vocals and acoustic guitar) — is still focused on writing songs that bring good things to the world. Reflective of Neumann's feeling that his and Llanas' songwriting on their compelling ninth studio album, Mr. Sad Clown, is among their most exposed and vulnerable ever, the two are in perfect harmony when singing together.
