Billy Bragg Coming to Boulder Theater This October

Billy Bragg will play the Boulder Theater this fall (October 12, 2017). Doors: 7:00 pm | Show: 8:00 pm. Tickets on sale 10 a.m. this Friday, April 14, 2017 at bouldertheater.com - $25.00 GA | $30.00 - $35.00 RES plus applicable service charges.

Fresh from touring the world with Joe Henry and galvanized by 'events', not least the worrying rise of popularism, Billy Bragg is dealing with it in the best way he knows how, by strapping on his electric guitar and heading out on tour across the US in October, under the title 'Bridges Not Walls'. Billy, in one-man Clash mode, will perform songs from his 30+ year career, some pertinent covers by his heroes and mentors and some freshly minted songs about the state of the world.

Billy Bragg has been a fearless recording artist, tireless live performer and peerless political campaigner for over 30 years. Among the former Saturday boy's albums are his punk-charged debut Life's a Riot With Spy Vs Spy, the more love-infused Workers Playtime, pop classic Don't Try This At Home, the Queen's Golden Jubilee-timed treatise on national identity England, Half-English, and his stripped-down tenth, Tooth & Nail, his most successful since the early 90s. The intervening three decades have been marked by a number one hit single, having a street named after him, being the subject of a South Bank Show, appearing onstage at Wembley Stadium, curating Left Field at Glastonbury, sharing spotted dick with a Cabinet minister in the House of Commons cafeteria, being mentioned in Bob Dylan's memoir and meeting the Queen. At their best, Billy's songs present 'the perfect Venn diagram between the political and the personal' (the Guardian).
