Cory Branan at Sonic Hall

Why we picked it

Cory Branan — hailed by NPR, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone as “a country boy with a punk‑rock heart” — has spent two decades crafting sharp, story‑driven songs and playing everywhere from the Ryman to the grimiest punk bars. His latest album, When I Go I Ghost, leans into a rule he set for himself: the sadder the song, the more it has to move. Restless, genre‑fluid, and endlessly inventive, Branan has been covered by Frank Turner and Dashboard Confessional and has collaborated with Jason Isbell, Laura Jane Grace, and Craig Finn. As Lucero once put it, “Cory Branan’s got an evil streak, and a way with words that’ll bring you to your knees.” $ 20+ FEES in ADVANCE 19+ | LICENSED | DOORS at 7PM TICKETS: https://www.tixr.com/e/182530
