Kevin Morby plays Aspen ahead of Little Wide Open

Kevin Morby plays Belly Up Aspen on 13 May with Liam Kazar, just two days before the release of Little Wide Open via Dead Oceans. That timing makes the show a strong 13 May live/news item. Little Wide Open was produced by Aaron Dessner and has been described as one of Morby’s most personal and vulnerable records.

The album completes an unintended trilogy connected to his return to Kansas City after Sundowner and This Is A Photograph. The Aspen date sits right at the edge of release week, which is often when songs begin to transform from studio objects into communal stories.

Morby’s strength has always been his ability to make American travel, memory, roadside imagery and emotional restlessness sound relaxed but meaningful. With Liam Kazar supporting, the evening should appeal to listeners who like indie rock with folk warmth, sly humor and a road-dusted sense of place.
