On Saturday, August 9, Southerly will play a solo homecoming show at Project Lodge in Madison. Southerly began as the project of Krist Krueger, a Madison, Wisconsin-based songwriter. Krueger later moved to Portland and recruited a full band, but still sings, writes and arranges the music of Southerly. Krist Krueger is also a seasoned recording engineer, record label manager and professional booking agent. He remains hands-on in all aspects of his music.
Southerly’s lush, orchestral pop is reminiscent of The National, Brendan Benson, Richard Ashcroft, and Elliott Smith. Krueger recorded the second Southerly album, Storyteller and the Gossip Columnist, with his own full orchestra and horn arrangements. The arrangements flesh out the songs, which center on Krueger’s otherwise intimate singing style. Even in his solo performances, you can almost hear the sweeping and swooning violins, horns and backing vocals that surround Krueger’s every note.
Check out Southerly live on August 9 at:
Project Lodge
817 E Johnson St.
Madison, WI 53703
