Big Thief played New Haven, CT (pics, video, setlist)
Having just began their winter tour, Big Thief stopped in New Haven, CT on Friday night (February 3) for a show at College Street Music Hall. Their setlist pulled from their full catalogue, but largely consisted of songs from their most recent album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You (one of 2022’s best). They also played unreleased track “Vampire Empire,” and two of Adrianne Lenker’s solo tracks, “ingydar” and “Terminal Paradise.” As in other cities, Adrianne’s brother Noah Lenker came out to play jaw harp on Dragon fan-favorite “Spud Infinity.”
Check out photos by P Squared, attendee-taken video, and the full setlist below.
As mentioned, Big Thief’s winter tour is ongoing, wrapping up on March 2 at Radio City Music Hall. The spring sees them tour the UK and Europe, and in the summer they’ll return to North America for a handful of co-headlining shows with Lucinda Williams and Nick Hakim. All dates below.
