Midwest Made – NEWSKI

Sunday, Jul. 16 | 7:00pm ET (6:00pm CT)

Indie/Alt

Wisconsin’s ‘90s alternative revivalists NEWSKI make their Acorn debut in our Midwest Made summer concert series. American Songwriter says of NEWSKI : “Showcases the unapologetically frank but not overly aggressive nature of 90s alt. rock perfectly."

About the Artists:

A revival of 90s alternative.

Coming off recent collaborations with Nada Surf's Matthew Caws, Barenaked Ladies co-founder Steven Page, and Brian Vander Ark of the Verve Pipe, 90’s influenced alt-rock outfit BRETT NEWSKI & the No Tomorrow launches eight new tracks, a soundtrack to his book titled “It’s Hard to be a Person: Defeating Anxiety Surviving the World, and Having More Fun.”

He has been featured on Rolling Stone, NPR, American Songwriter, SiriusXM, Boston Globe, Paste and SPIN.

Newski has played alongside acts like Pixies, Violent Femmes, Courtney Barnett, Manchester Orchestra, Better than Ezra & New Pornographers. He continues to tour over 100 dates per year.

Newski's podcast Dirt from the Road dives into strangest travel stories, mental health boosts, and how to navigate the hurdles of being a person in modern times. Guests include The Lumineers, All American Rejects, Dashboard Confessional, Guster, Heartless Bastards, Verve Pipe, Toad the Wet Sprocket and Frank Turner.
