Local melody makers Consolation Champ celebrate the release of their new album Shorthand for a Long Walk — a collection of tunes for couples, parents, and pet owners meant to inspire reflection and creativity amid the demands of adulthood. 

Special guests Farewell Milwaukee join for a memorable evening of Minnesota music you can bring your kids to (enjoy free admission for children 12 & under with their parents!).   

Consolation Champ played their first show together in January of 2005 at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis.  375 performances, 37 states, 4 weddings, 11 children, and 6 dogs later, these balding buddies from Bloomington, Minnesota continue to pursue good songs and good shows that move people.  

Shorthand for a Long Walk is the band’s fourth album and was extremely fun to make.  Produced by the multi-talented Ryan Mach, it’s C. Champ’s best attempt yet at making songs with universal subject matter and a classic sound that still manage to be interesting.

Mainstays of the Minneapolis music scene since 2008, Farewell Milwaukee embraces the role that their Midwestern towns have played in shaping them artistically, garnering them fans through their authentic lyrics, lush vocal harmonies, and an honest sincerity at live shows. It is because of this, they have gathered accolades from local and national press, landed a song placement on major-network TV, opened for the Lumineers (among others), and are featured on compilations alongside Mumford & Sons, Adele and Amos Lee.
