Aimee Mann

One of indie rock's most celebrated voices comes to Iowa City for an unforgettable evening at the historic Englert Theatre. On Thursday, July 23, 2026, Aimee Mann brings her signature blend of confessional lyricism, intricate melodies, and dry wit to one of the Midwest's most beloved intimate venues. Known for her razor-sharp songwriting and emotionally resonant performances, Mann has spent decades crafting some of the most quietly devastating songs in the American indie canon — from her breakout work with 'Til Tuesday to her celebrated solo career and the iconic Magnolia soundtrack. Opening the evening is Kimon Kirk, whose own thoughtful songcraft sets the perfect tone for a night dedicated to the art of the well-turned phrase and the perfectly placed chord. The Englert Theatre, with its warm acoustics and storied Iowa City presence, provides an ideal backdrop — close enough to feel every nuance, grand enough to make the moment feel truly special. This is an experience for listeners who believe in the power of a great song to illuminate something true about the human condition. Whether you've followed Aimee Mann since the beginning or are discovering her work for the first time, an evening in her company at a venue this intimate is a rare and memorable gift. Tickets are expected to move quickly — don't miss your chance to be in the room.
