The Mountain Goats

A Mountain Goats show is more a reunion than a concert, with fans smiling knowingly to each other and chanting along rowdily. The camaraderie is born from John Darnielle’s long career of storytelling and frequent touring. An energetic guitar strummer who surrounds himself with skilled musicians, he’s a yarn-spinner at heart; expect to hear songful tales from Beat the Champ, a typically wry, affecting latest LP themed around pro wrestling.
