The act
Formed in 2015, out of New York, NY, Wild Pink leaned on the catalog they built into a live act with national reach.
Wild Pink is the New York indie-rock project of John Ross, formed in 2015 and built around a heartland-rock sensibility that critics have compared to Tom Petty by way of Sufjan Stevens. Their 2022 album ILYSM was written and recorded during Ross's cancer treatment and remission. Fifth album Dulling the Horns followed in 2024.
The venue
The Southern Café & Music Hall sits at 103 South 1st Street, a 300-capacity intimate listening room operated by Starr Hill Presents under booker Danny Shea.
Southern programs eclectically across rising indie, folk, and singer-songwriters. The room held 251 for the Wild Pink show, 84% sell-through.
The night
Doors 7:00 PM. Set 8:00 PM. All ages. Ticket prices are set on the on-sale.
Truth Club opens at doors with a 30-minute set.
Why now
