MINNEAPOLIS, MN (March 29, 2022)
– Utepils Brewing and Sue McLean & Associates (SMA) are excited to announce a new concert event on Wednesday, July 20 - Live at Utepils featuring Drive-By Truckers.

About Drive-By Truckers (DBT)

DBT is finally back on the road after nearly two years of the pandemic lockdown. The band has built its wildly dedicated fanbase through electric live shows, more than two decades of near constant touring and its special brand of politically-minded Southern rock with urgent and poignant themes. The band had just released its 12th studio album in January 2020. The Unraveling was mostly recorded in Memphis at Sam Phillips Recording Service – nine new songs detailing the horrific state of MAGA America in songs that addressed white supremacy, school shootings and the opioid crisis.Throughout lockdown, the band played numerous virtual shows, and wrote new songs that they combined with some tracks they had previously recorded in Memphis. They released The New OK, which is made up of nine songs and picks up where The Unraveling left off, continuing the themes of an
unraveling country, but also breaking away on a more personal front. DBT is currently working on their 14th studio album, one that will take them in even more new directions.

The one and only John Swardson is going to be here every Friday in November playing some amazing tunes to go along with your delicious beer.

A Minneapolis-based musician, John Swardson grew up in St. Paul listening to Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, U2, Springsteen, Husker Du, and Van Halen. Influenced by parents who were writers and readers, John taught himself to play the guitar, singing his own songs. With four full-length records under his belt— Ablaze, Silver Dust (John Swardson and Get Gone), Dogs in the Woods (Get Gone), and Blood Moon (John Swardson and Bad Blood)—John is steadily gaining momentum as a prominent artist and songwriter within and beyond the Twin Cities music scene.

John has played clubs throughout the Twin Cities for many years as a solo artist and with various band lineups, including Los Angeles and NYC. He’s had the honor of opening for many of his favorite bands/songwriters including Sturgill Simpson, Echo and the Bunnymen, Semisonic, Dean Ween, BJ Barham (American Aquarium), and Ben Nichols from Lucero.

Join us in the Beer Garden Friday for delicious beers and great tunes.
Gawker Slowdown will get going at 6pm.
Band/artist history
Began writing in 1991 while in college. Settled in with Third Wheel in 1995, for whom I played guitar, sang, and served as chief songwriter. Released two pretty good records, toured, broke up in 1999. I wanted to keep writing songs, but wanted to not worry so much about things like promotion, selling product, etc. Decided to go the self-recorded route--the cheap self-recorded route, at that. All songs at this site were recorded with modest means from my basement studio.

About Jordan Carr:
Chaos. Jail. Loss. Gain. Fatherhood. Growing up. The Great Lakes equivalent of Springsteen (or whatever singer left his punk band for a solo career) continues to interrogate these themes with honesty and melody.
