About

SOUL ASYLUM IN CONCERT:

Although synths and neon clothing were staples of the '80s, alternative band Soul Asylum stuck to their guns with their guitar-driven grunge sound and ripped jeans. 30 years since after their debut, the band still knows how to rock a crowd, as Dave Pirner's unique, raspy voice carries their powerful music to new heights and stirs emotion in audiences nationwide. Whether they're playing '90s cult classic "Runaway Train" or treating fans to newer tunes, Soul Asylum always deliver a vigorous live performance, and fans can expect more of the same as they hit the road for the Summerland Tour 2014 with fellow rockers Everclear, Eve 6, and Spacehog. 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed in the early '80s by high school friends Dave Pirner, Dan Murphy, and Karl Mueller, Soul Asylum got their start performing local shows in their home state of Minnesota. After gaining a strong following in the area, they released their 1984 debut Say What You Will...Everything Can Happen, embarking on the first of what would become many rigorous headlining tours. In their three decades together, Soul Asylum have released ten albums, two reaching Platinum certification, as well as two No. 1 singles. As a defining rock band of the '90s, Soul Asylum will bring a healthy dose of nostalgia on the road with them in 2014 as they treat fans to hit-filled sets on their highly anticipated Summerland Tour. 

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Soul Asylum absolutely brought the house down! The show was very high energy and masterfully performed. These guys know what true rock & roll is all about and delivered one hell of a show. I can't recommend it enough!"

"Soul Asylum sounded great. Dave Pirner hasn't lost anything, and the band was tight."

"They were AMAZING and had so much energy! Loved every minute of it, and would definitely see them again!"

    Still the Stellar Songwriting I Cherish

    by bookwormsurfer on 7/13/22Wally's - Hampton

    The plan was to take my son to see his new favorite band for his 21st birthday. Aidan is autistic and survived leukemia and has his mother's great taste in superb musicianship. However the show was not 18 plus and I have to go back to work as a severe autism teacher on his real birthday in August. But the trouper he is, he insisted Mum who has long been a Soul Asylum fan go without him. WHAT A SHOW. The songwriting stands the test of time to be among rock's forever best. In front of me was a couple in wheelchairs and the bands kindness to them showed me this is a band with not just erudite creativity, but also HEART. I came home happy. And my son, he made me promise to take him to see Soul Asylum in a city he loves-Minneapolis, AND to a Twins game (we completed 50 states, now completing all MLB ballparks!)

    Great acoustic show.

    by SGMiller on 7/10/221932 Criterion Theatre - Bar Harbor

    Soul Asylum really delivered. Just Dave Pirner and Ryan Smith but that’s all they needed. The guitar music, lyrics and harmonies filled the Criterion. Really glad we saw them.

    by Sue on 7/10/221932 Criterion Theatre - Bar Harbor

    Great concert. The band was awesome. Been listening to their music since the 80s and so happy to have finally had the opportunity to see them. And best of all they played at the criterion Theater. An amazing place to see a band. Very intimate.

    Dishwalla Stole The Show

    by Mojough on 5/15/22Genesee Theatre - Waukegan

    Came to see Soul Asylum but left a huge fan of Dishwalla. It wasn’t even fair Soul Asylum had to follow them. Just a phenomenal performance.

    Not able to go

    by GMB93 on 11/9/21Effingham Performance Center - Effingham

    We weren't able to go due to circumstances beyond our control and wasn't able to get our money back because the last day to do so was Oct 24th and we didn't know that until the 25th. Thought we had gotten the insurance for the tickets but apparently we didn't so couldn't get our money back that way either.

    Soul Asylum Delivers .....again

    by Frankdell45 on 11/9/21Effingham Performance Center - Effingham

    Let's be honest, Dave Pirner doesn't need to do this anymore. He's written and played some great music for almost five decades now. He could sit at home and relax, release music and write soundtrack music to bring in some bread. While there was a smallish, a kind word for pathetic, crowd at the Effingham Performance Center, Pirner is a pro and knows how to deliver no matter what the crowd or lack of is doing. The man could entertain a gaggle of stoned teenagers waiting for the Seven Eleven to close so they can hangout on the roof. I was happy to hear "Veil of Tears", "Little Too Clean" and "April Fool" . Most of the crowd danced along to "Runaway Train" and that's fine but I'm there to hear some different stuff and Soul Asylum provided that relief for me. EPC is a great place to see a band, been there two other times and have not had a bad seat yet. It's a 1,200 seat venue and it's well kept and clean. The ushers are super nice and its easy to get to and parking is right there. Will attend again, here's hoping EPC books more bands like Soul Asylum. And here's hoping Dave Pirner keeps on chugging, because clearly the man is enjoying himself and so am I watching him.

    Fun Show ~ Still sound great

    by LStef on 9/19/21Cain Park - Cleveland Heights

    Cain park is a great place to see a show. Was disappointed at first when Juliana Hatfield was not opening show, but Local H was a pleasant surprise. Sounded great. Soul Asylum was fantastic as well. Played all favorites and then some.

    Awesome as Always!

    by Greg on 9/6/21Mars Music Hall - Huntsville

    Soul Asylum never disappoints! The band is tighter than ever, and put on an amazing show. Great setlist of over 20 songs that represents the entire career. They play the “hits” and the deep tracks which makes everyone happy. Do yourself a favor and go see them!!

    Good Show Bad Atmosphere

    by Ron on 8/15/21House of Blues Myrtle Beach - North Myrtle Beach

    Soul Asylum put on a very good show however the House of Blues atmosphere was boring. I'm guessing it's because people are still hesitant to go to concerts.

    Sounded horrible in front of the soundboard.

    by P. W. on 3/2/20Madrid Theatre - Kansas City

    The venue was nice and I liked the fact that they had parking with security in the vicinity. Normally, it sounds great in front of the sound board. Both main bands sounded horrible. I did not venture around the venue to see if there was a big change. I would have if I were by myself. Maybe the balcony above was jacking with things. I would have rather skipped the early bands and just watched Soul Asylum. They did sound better than Local H which isn't much for bragging rights but I am not a fan of Local H. Sound was bad enough that we left early.

    Rock At Its Best

    by Soul Asylum Fan on 3/2/20Madrid Theatre - Kansas City

    Dave Pirner and the guys put on an amazing show Friday night at the Madrid Theatre. The set list consisted of "Runaway Train" and other hits, plenty of new material off of their upcoming record like "Dead Letter" and "If I Told You", and lesser known fan favorites like "Losing It" and "Freak Accident". The band gave 100% and maintained a consistent energy throughout the show; there were no dull spots. Dave Pirner was not only entertaining musically, he revealed his playful side telling jokes and making people laugh. If you have not seen this band live, please do yourself a favor and go.

    Another Great Event At Center Stage

    by w. c. on 2/27/20Center Stage Theater - Atlanta

    The opening act Local H was great. Never heard them before but liked them. Soul Asylum was fantastic. Sound in the venue was as good as it gets and drinks were fairly priced.
