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!"

    Soul Asylum rocked the Zoo

    by Mojompls on 7/4/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    Thursday night at the MN Zoo had to be one of the best concerts I've seen there over the last 3 or 4 years I've been going to the Music in the Zoo series. The front band Slim Dunlap came on first and played a good set. Then at 9 Soul went straight to some of their most famous work and got the crowd going. Lead singer Dave Priner voice still puts a chill up my spin and his energy on stage revivals any young musician. The zoo is a great venue for music except there is not enough space to dance. I'm headed off to the store to buy their new CD.

    Soul Asylum

    by sleepsavant on 7/4/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    The show was excellent, except for the sound set up. One of the guitar amps was set too high, and the screech of the high notes drowned out the voices. Both outside microphones were set too low, and the guitar amps were far too loud. The sound set up was amateurish, and embarrassing. The show could have been great, but it was screeching loud and nearly painful. I noticed many people leaving for periods of time to avoid hearing damage. David Pirner and Soul Asylum were wonderful, but they were damaged by the pathetic sound system.

    Soul Asylum Rocks

    by Timporal on 7/3/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    It was a great show the weather was perfect, the band Awesome! Only drawbacks were its a long walk to get there and my girl has problems with long distances. Myself I have back problems and the bench style seating was irritating. But overall I really liked this show and would recommend it to anyone.

    Great show!

    by Anneofeagan on 7/3/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    Not only was the music great but the band seemed genuinely humbled to be back on stage! Dave Pirner's young son was an unexpected star of the show; singing on stage with his dad and dancing off stage during most of the evening. We go to at least one zoo concert per year and this was one of the best we've seen!
