Win passes to a private Craig Finn 'Faith in the Future' listening party
June 23, 2015
Last time Craig Finn performed in the Twin Cities he was with the Hold Steady opening for the Replacements at Midway Stadium. Now, in town this weekend for a show with Heartless Bastards in the First Avenue mainroom, Craig Finn is touring in support of his forthcoming solo record, Faith in the Future.
Anticipating the release of Faith in the Future, The Current is hosting a very special private listening party of the new record more than two months in advance of its release, plus the opportunity to go bowling with Craig Finn at Bryant Lake Bowl. Enter below for your chance to win!
Faith in the Future, Finn's second solo effort and follow-up to 2012's Clear Heart Full Eyes, is due Sept. 11 via Partisan Records. And the release date has significance. The album's lead single, "Newmyer's Roof," refers to Finn's location the day of the tragic events, just a year after he made New York City his adopted home. In a note, Craig explains how the threads that run through the song came together: "It's a song about believing that something better is coming," Finn says, "It's a song about light after darkness. It's about faith in the future."
