Besides being a critically acclaimed solo artist, Jon Auer is the singer/songwriter/co-founder of The Posies and a current member of musical legends Big Star. On his most recent solo release Songs from the Year of Our Demise, Auer displays his undeniable knack for combining the highly melodic with the emotionally and psychologically complex, arguably mining more intimate and cinematic territories than in any years previous and in the process creating the best reviewed work of his career. NPR picked Songs… as one of the best releases of 2006 and in the last two years Auer toured everywhere from Australia to Zurich and many points between. His one-man troubadour-style show is the perfect way to experience his compositions and stories at their most revealing and rewarding.
