If you’re a fan of Field Report (aka former Justin Vernon cohort Chris Porterfield) but would like to see him in a more intimate setting, he’s also playing an early show at Mercury Lounge on Saturday (7/21). Tickets are still available and we’re also giving away a pair. Details on how to enter are below.
