John Craigie returns to The Waldo on September 17, with special guest Humbird. Tickets are on sale now. For over a decade, John Craigie has made music that brings people in, not with spectacle but with sincerity and songs that feel like conversations. His new 2026 album I Swam Here , released on Zabriskie Point Records, was written and produced by Craigie and recorded between New Orleans and Astoria. Following 2024's Pagan Church with TK & The Holy Know-Nothings, which spent six weeks at #1 on the Americana Albums chart, I Swam Here feels both expansive and intimate, shaped by the musical history of the Gulf Coast and the stillness of the Pacific Northwest. Craigie remains a tireless live performer, touring throughout the U.S., Europe, and Australia, appearing at festivals like Newport Folk, Pickathon, Edmonton Folk Festival, and High Sierra, and sharing stages with Langhorne Slim, Sierra Hull, Gregory Alan Isakov, Brett Dennen, and Jack Johnson. His annual #KeepItWarm Tour donates $1 from every ticket sold to regional nonprofits, and his John Craigie On The River trips on the Tuolumne and Rogue have become beloved gatherings for fans. Humbird is a Minneapolis-based folk and Americana band led by singer-songwriter Siri Undlin, blending storytelling with varied arrangements to explore themes of place, memory, and social issues. General Admission tickets are $35 in advance, $40 day of show. Doors open at 6:30, with concessions available. Concert begins at 7:30.
