Lou Barlow

An indie-rock godhead thanks to his work with Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion, Lou Barlow brings his solo acoustic tour to Athens for a stop at our local record-pressing plant. Though he has spent much of the past decade touring and recording with the resurgent Dinosaur Jr., Barlow’s current creative streak finds him reconnecting with his singer-songwriter roots, as heard on 2016’s affecting and efficient Apocalypse Fetish EP. Expect an intimate evening with one of our most underrated songsmiths. According to a press release, “Requests will be taken, stories will be told, and Lou will be in the best setting to share the emotionally direct, melodic songs he’s known for.”
