Tommy Stinson(The Replacements) & Friends at Irving Theater in Indianapolis

Tommy Stinson, Karla Rose, and Little Venom rock Irving Theater. Tommy solo, backed by Karla Rose & backed by Little Venom from Seattle.

This show is a real treat! Karla Rose will open the show, Tommy will play solo, then he'll play with Karla Rose backing him on violin & vocals, then he'll play with a full backing band, Little Venom from Seattle.

In plain words, Tommy Stinson is a great American musician. You can needle-drop at any juncture of the Minneapolis native's four-decade-plus career and find a moment of great significance. Stinson was a founding and lifetime member of The Replacements. He was a key second-generation ingredient in Guns N' Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. He also led two essential bands of his own -- the aptly named Bash & Pop and Perfect -- appeared on recordings by the Old 97's, MOTH and BT.
