Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band with Jenny Lewis

Conor Oberst and The Mystic Valley Band with Jenny Lewis
Conor Oberst's unique brand of roots Americana folk rock has gained him significant acclaim and set him on a trajectory to widespread popularity.  His prolific songwriting and leading voice led him to create and take to the road with The Mystic Valley Band in 2008.  Their collaboration on his self titled album, earned him "Best Songwriter" by Rolling Stone magazine, while their latest album, Outer South, makes for a multi-textured and enticing musical symbiosis.  Bring a blanket and come Downtown to enjoy the songs that have earned them a dedicated following. 

 

Jenny Lewis has transformed before our eyes from a shy indie-rocker to the authoritative, take-no-prisoners singer/songwriter/frontwoman we know today. Tack sharp and unafraid, channeling songs through either Rilo Kiley or her solo work, her staggering range has brought her critical acclaim around the globe.

 

This event is not ticketed, but space is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

No alcohol, glass containers, weapons, commercial cameras, tripods, bicycles or pets will be allowed on the lawn of the park, and all bags will be subject to search.  Out of respect for the artists, no audio or video recording or flash photography permitted.  There is no rain date or location for this event.

Lawn opens at 2 pm. Jenny Lewis on at 3:30. There's a good line now so if you want a good spot come on down! No seating - bring a blanket.
