Craig Finn

Craig Finn, the celebrated frontman of The Hold Steady, brings his signature blend of narrative lyricism and heartland rock to a series of intimate venues across the country. Known for his vivid character-driven storytelling and conversational vocal style, Finn transforms every performance into something closer to a literary event than a conventional rock show — where bar-room poetry meets anthemic guitar. This summer tour pairs him alongside the legendary Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers, creating an unmissable double bill of two of alternative rock's most compelling voices. The tour stretches across celebrated rooms including the iconic Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, the beloved Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, and the acoustically stunning Shalin Liu Performance Center — each venue handpicked for its character and intimacy. The Bellmore Movies and The Showplace on Long Island offers a uniquely cinematic setting for an evening of music that feels as carefully crafted as any great film. Expect sets rich with fan favorites, deep cuts, and the kind of spontaneous between-song storytelling that has made Craig Finn a cult hero among discerning music lovers. Whether you're a lifelong Hold Steady devotee or discovering Craig Finn's solo work for the first time, these shows promise a rare and deeply personal concert experience. With Patterson Hood joining the bill on select dates, audiences can anticipate a genuine meeting of songwriting minds — two artists who share a reverence for American roots music, blue-collar narrative, and the redemptive power of rock and roll. Don't miss your chance to witness this extraordinary collaboration live.
