The details

About this event

Souled American is making a rare appearance at X-Ray Arcade, bringing their unique blend of traditional roots and rock to the stage. Known for pioneering alternative country, the band is promoting "SANCTIONS," their first album in thirty years. This is a special opportunity to experience their influential sound live.

The X-Ray Arcade is the perfect venue for this intimate performance. With doors opening at 7 PM, it's a great idea to arrive early to secure a good spot. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, this concert promises a memorable night.

From the organizer

Like a secret that can be kept no longer, the elusive & influential Souled American emerge for a rare appearance to promote SANCTIONS, their first record in thirty years. The band began in Chicago in 1986, hybridizing traditional roots music with roll & roll to pioneer a style later celebrated as "alternative country." Acclaimed by Jeff Tweedy, The Jayhawks, John Darnielle, and Counting Crows, Souled American recorded 64 songs between 1988 and 1996, a legendary body of work that has been unavailable for decades and is only now receiving the attention it has long deserved.
