Overview
Actual human soft-mist-hanging-over-pines Sufjan Stevens is returning to the Opera House for a four-night series of shows as part of Vivid LIVE, following the release of his seventh studio album Carrie & Lowell earlier this year.
After the 'neon-explosion' that was 2010's The Age of Adz, Stevens returns to his roots on this new record, with a series of delicate, polished folk songs plucked out on banjo and acoustic guitar. It's inspired by the death of his mother (the Carrie of the title) and family holidays they took to Oregon when he was a boy.
Take this friendly reminder to pack tissues for 'Fourth of July’ — though you can also expect banjo-accompanied Christmas classics, US regional history (from the time he told us he'd write an album for each of the 50 states and we all believed him because he's Sufjan Stevens), and inimitable tenderness with musical instruments.
