EVENT DESCRIPTION
Allison Mahal with guest Poolboy
“Midwest folk-rocker Allison Mahal is known for her “powerful voice” and “knack for heartbreaking lyrics” (NPR). On her new album, Not Over This Yet, Mahal is ready to confront the past with brutal honesty and tender consideration. The ten tracks play out like thumbing through a photo album, some snapshots burnt at the edges, blurry and overexposed, others are intricately framed, capturing first impressions of what has grown into a golden-light love. Her latest singles have earned her placements on both Apple Music and Amazon playlists, and the album has garnered attention from the likes of Under The Radar and Consequence of Sound, who wrote, “it feels as though she’s stepped into some of her own power.”
Poolboy is an indie rock band from Minneapolis. They formed in 2015 and released their self-produced EP in February of 2016, which Andrea Swenson of The Current called, “An impressive debut.” In 2017, they were named City Pages’ Best New Band.
Their newest five song EP, Good Orchard, was released in 2021 and represents a course change for the group that explores themes of existential fatigue, intimacy, and personal growth through dynamic lyricism placed within a vibrant and melodic soundscape.
Good Orchard was engineered, produced, and mixed by Con Davison (Wingman, Bad Bad Hats) and mastered by Huntley Miller (Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso).
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
