The Lone Bellow
What: Acclaimed indie/folk trio The Lone Bellow are hitting the road this spring for the continuation of their US headline tour in support of their critically praised new album “Love Songs for Losers. Love Songs for Losers” marks an exciting departure for the band as they struck out on their own for the first time and self-produced, whereas for previous albums they’ve teamed up with elite producers such as Aaron Dessner (The National) and Dave Cobb. They also stepped outside the familiar studio setting and recorded the album over the course of eight weeks at Roy Orbison’s former home in Nashville. The result is the group’s most expansive and eclectic body of work yet as they celebrate their 10th Anniversary since forming as a band.
When: May 14, doors open at 6 p.m., start time: 7 p.m.
Where: Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord
