Japanese Breakfast has once again covered Sufjan Stevens, this time with help from Frankie Cosmos’ Greta Kline. On Monday night (7/10), she finished her two-night-stand at the Salt Shed in Chicago, and, fittingly, covered Sufjan’s Illinois classic “Chicago.” She was joined by Greta (who opened the show) as well as a slew of horns and strings. Watch clips of the performance and check out the full setlist below.
On the first night of her Chicago run, Japanese Breakfast covered Wilco favorite “Jesus, Etc,” like she’s done in the past. She covered another Sufjan song, Michigan‘s “Romulus,” back in 2021.
Japanese Breakfast also recently announced a hometown Philadelphia Halloween show with Hop Along. Ahead of that her shows include appearances at Osheaga Festival, Beach Road Weekend, and more. She’ll be in NYC on October 5 at Radio City Music Hall with Ichiko Aoba. All dates below.
