The Riverside Theater continues to bring quality live performances to Milwaukee with the recent addition of The Decemberists to their calendar on November 18th & 19th.

11/18 – The Decemberists/Laura Veirs – Riverside Theater, Milwaukee (“Long of It”)
11/19 – The Decemberists/Laura Veirs – Riverside Theater, Milwaukee (“Short of It”)

According to Pitchfork:

“The Long and Short of It” fall tour will feature multiple-night stands in every city it hits, with each night dubbed either “Long of It” or “Short of It”. According to a press release, “‘Long’ evenings will focus on the band’s epic, progressive compositions. ‘Short’ nights (while no shorter in set length, we promise) will highlight their more succinct, pop-leaning material.” In other words, you’re more likely to hear “The Tain” and “The Island” suite on “long” nights than “short” ones.

Laura Veirs, who duets with Meloy on The Crane Wife’s “Yankee Bayonet”, will open all dates on the tour.”
