BoDeans: 40 years of Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams... and Good Things 2026

Since their 1986 debut, BoDeans have been a cornerstone of American roots rock, blending heartland rock and alternative influences into a sound that resonates with generations. Their hit "Closer to Free" became a cultural touchstone as the theme for *Party of Five*, and the band itself is honored at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This special show celebrates 40 years of their landmark album *Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams*—a record that Rolling Stone readers named them Best New American Band.

Expect a setlist that spans the band's rich catalog, from the soulful energy of "Good Things" to the anthemic drive of "Only Love." The performance captures the raw, heartfelt spirit that made BoDeans one of the most beloved acts to emerge from the Midwest, with a live show that connects deeply with fans old and new.
