Lucy Michelle returns to The Hook with her indie-pop group Little Fevers. Sam Cassidy opens.

 

Little Fevers is an indie-pop group from Minneapolis made up of the remaining members of the folk pop orchestra Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles who in 2014, traded their acoustic instruments for electric guitars and synthesizers. Reflecting their new sound, they adopted a new name, Little Fevers and released their debut record Field Trip, which blended their electric indie sound with new wave influences. Field Trip was followed by their 7 inch Singles released in 2017 featuring Chris Koza (Rogue Valley) on  guitar.  Two years later, Little Fevers enlisted guitarist Paul Puleo (Knife World and Southside Desire) and completed work on their second full length record Strangers.

“This Minneapolis quartet could slot neatly in amongst a Mates of State record, a Pavement full-length and Vampire Weekend’s first album.” – Noisey

 

Minneapolis roots-rock songwriter Sam Cassidy is known for his spirited live shows that showcase his stirring vocals and deft guitar work. Named Best Acoustic Performer by City Pages in 2017, Cassidy composes hard-luck ballads with a distinct Midwestern twang. He draws on the life of ordinary people as well as his own experiences to paint vivid pictures of struggle and joy, hard work, and taking it easy. Pulling on influences from classics like Springsteen and Petty, as well as contemporaries like Laura Marling and Waxahatchee, his songs explore the grey area between right and wrong and try to examine what brings people to do the things they do.  Backed by the most handsome band in Minneapolis- The All Night Canyons, the live show is not to be missed.
