An intimate solo performance by acclaimed singer/songwriter **Josh Rouse**. With his signature mix of pop, rock, and Americana, Rouse first emerged in 1998 with his debut album, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, which Billboard called a “dark horse gem.” Over the next two-plus decades, he’s released a steady stream of critically lauded records that have solidified his status as one of his generation’s greatest songwriters.

Unfortunately, we do not have a daytime box office operation so online is the only way to purchase tickets.

To mark 20 years since its release in 2005, Josh Rouse returns – with his full band – to perform his fifth album, Nashville, in full!

You don’t have to work hard to enjoy Rouse’s music. His songs present themselves to you with an open heart, an innate intelligence and an absolute lack of pretension. They are clear-eyed, empathetic and penetrating. Without pandering, they seek to satisfy both your ear and your understanding. The verses draw you in with telling detail, both musical and thematic, and the choruses lift and deliver. They resolve without seeming overly tidy or pat.

Josh Rouse was born in Nebraska, and following an itinerant upbringing he eventually landed in Nashville where he recorded his debut Dressed Like Nebraska (1998). The album’s acclaim led to tours with Aimee Mann, Mark Etzel and the late Vic Chestnut. The follow-up – Home (2000) — yielded the song Directions, which Cameron Crowe used in his film Vanilla Sky.

For his breakthrough album, 1972 (2003), which happens to be the year he was born, Rouse decided to cheer up a bit. Noting that he’d earned a reputation for melancholy, he says, with a laugh, ‘I figured this is my career, I might as well try to enjoy it.’ While the Seventies are often identified with singer-songwriters, Rouse was primarily attracted to the warmer sound of albums back then, as well as the more communal feel of the soul music of that time.

The follow up, Nashville (2005) continued the hot streak and expanded his audience further.
