About

THE HOLD STEADY IN CONCERT:

Anchored by a muscular classic rock base, Brooklyn's the Hold Steady masterfully tell stories of struggle and redemption, punctuating their thoughtful compositions with sing-along choruses and wailing organ playing. At their live shows, the band's boot-stomping heartland piano rock runs the full gamut of emotions, as frontman Craig Finn leads fans through the band's  catalog of narrative-based songs and poetry. With their newest album Teeth Dreams due out in 2014, fans can expect more fantastic performances from the band as they hit the road for an international tour in support of the release.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

After a 2003 viewing of The Band's seminal concert documentary The Last Waltz, Brooklyn musicians Craig Finn and Tad Kubler were inspired to create a group that would revive and update heartland rock. They immediately formed the Hold Steady, releasing their full-length debut Almost Killed Me the following year to a substantial amount of critical buzz. Since then, the band's no-frills approach to narrative-based rock has gained them a cult following, propelling several of their albums to chart in both the US and UK. In support of the 2014 release of their sixth studio album Teeth Dreams, the band will treat fans to another rousing string of shows as they hit the road for an international tour.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Really tight show with a whole different feel for THS as this was the first time I saw them with no keyboard player. Great selection of songs from new album and some nice older tunes as well."

"I couldn't believe The Hold Steady was gonna play such an awesome small venue. I was a little nervous the show would suck because of the small room but nonetheless the venue was amazing as was the sound and the band."

"The Hold Steady blew me away Thursday night. The 3 guitar attack is amazing. Finn enjoys the hell out of himself on stage and they had my attention for the entire 2 hours they played. Best show I've seen in a few years."

  • So much joy at the hold steady

    Massive nights is the most wonderful time of the year! The Hold Steady brings so much joy!

  • Best Ever?!

    by Mr D on 12/9/24Brooklyn Bowl - BrooklynRating: 5 out of 5

    These were shows 46-49 for me. Each one was better than the next. The energy this band brings every night is unrivaled. The community at their shows is equally enjoyable. Not much else to say. 10/10, 5 stars, highly likely to recommend to a friend

  • Stay Positive

    The Hold Steady are the best band in the world. Go see them!

  • Well worth the long wait of 20 years

    by OaklandDoug on 6/25/249:30 CLUB - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been following the band The Hold Steady for many years but more recently Craig's excellent solo work. Working in Boston, I saw there were still tickets left for Saturday night's show at the 9:30 Club, so I pulled the trigger to take a whirlwind trip to my hometown area of D.C. and back. I'm so glad I did. It was such a great show. I was able to work my way to the front of the stage and had such a blast. I totally recommend seeing The Hold Steady if you never have. They put on a great performance.

  • Amazing Energy!

    by EKK on 6/24/249:30 CLUB - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    The band and lead singer, Craig Finn, have great energy on stage, involving the crowd with many songs. Seeing them live is the best.

  • DC is full of friendly friends...

    by Nate on 6/24/249:30 CLUB - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    ... yeah I know that line's about Philly. But! The 9:30 club is a great venue and the Hold Steady are a fantastic live band. The crowd had excellent vibes, it was a wonderful experience

  • Great Time at Brooklyn Bowl LV

    by AzNate on 10/11/23Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    Go see the Hold Steady. Show up for Built To Spill, 'cause they are great, too. What a great time at the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas. Plenty of room to groove, easy access to the many bars located throughout the venue.

  • Still the best!

    by Brian on 10/10/23Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5

    The Hold Steady delivered as always with a fantastic show. No matter how many times I see them they never get old.
