Old 97's to celebrate 30 year anniversary with a handful European shows

Old 97's is an American alternative country band from Dallas, Texas. Formed in the early 90s, they are one of the most enduring bands in the alt-country community. Old 97's merged power pop melodies with classic country feel, anchored by the rock-solid twang of guitarist Ken Bethea and the emotive vocals of Rhett Miller, whose tales of romantic misadventure hit a sweet spot between yearning and swagger. The band first made a nationwide splash with their second album, 1995's Wreck Your Life, while their major-label debut, 1997's Too Far to Care, revved up their rock & roll leanings and punched up the melodic hooks.

This year the band celebrates their 30th anniversary and to celebrate this the band is coming to Europe for a short string of shows:
