SOUL ASYLUM TO PLAY OLD NATIONAL EVENTS PLAZA

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2021 AT 10 AM

Evansville, IN – March 8, 2021 – Soul Asylum, in anticipation of their upcoming “Back In Your Face” tour, will rock the stage at Aiken Theatre on Sunday, August 1, 2021, with supporting act Local H. “We are so excited to bring Soul Asylum to the area, proving live music is indeed back. We can’t wait to hear what they’ve been working on since last year’s album release,” notes Alexis Berggren, General Manager of The Plaza.

Soul Asylum was formed in the early ’80s by high-school friends Dave Pirner, Dan Murphy, and Karl Mueller, and became part of the celebrated Minneapolis local music scene alongside fellow indie bands the Replacements and Hüsker Dü. This success led to the band entering the major-label mainstream with 1988’s Hang Time and its 1990 follow-up, And the Horse They Rode In On, before achieving a commercial breakthrough with 1992’s triple platinum Grave Dancers Union, featuring the Grammy award-winning single, “Runaway Train.”

The band’s latest album Hurry Up and Wait was released in April 2020 and led to their highest Billboard Chart position since 1995. Soul Asylum front man Dave Pirner reports that making the band’s twelfth studio full-length, Hurry Up and Wait, was a completely seamless, enjoyable and productive experience. John Fields, who worked with the band on three previous albums, co-produced the project in the band’s hometown of Minneapolis.

Opening act, Local H, was formed in Zion, Illinois in 1990.  Known for their unorthodox two-piece setup, Local H became best known for their hit, “Bound for the Floor,” a single from their album, As Good as Dead which peaked at No. 5 on the US Alternative Billboard Chart.  Their most recent album, Lifers, was released in 2020.
