Craig Finn of The Hold Steady has announced a trio of intimate residency shows in Brooklyn next year. “Craig Finn & Friends” happens at Union Pool on February 4, 11, and 25, and tickets go on sale Friday, November 14 at 10 AM ET.
Craig says, “These will be intimate shows featuring a cast of my musical friends performing songs with me. Different folks each night, special guests, etc. You might be able to guess some guests, you might be surprised at others. You’ll have to come to the show to find out! I know these will be very special musical affairs and the sets will vary greatly from night to night. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and I’m psyched to be pulling it off this February in one of my favorite small rooms in town.”
Craig began his tour with Patterson Hood earlier this month, and coming up he has The Hold Steady’s 2025 Massive Nights run at Brooklyn Bowl, along with shows in Europe and the UK. See all dates below.
