Jack and Emily Campbell

Colorado-based Jack Campbell & the Head Mess draws on the Minneapolis songwriting tradition of stuffing infectious pop earworms and unique harmonic flavors into a fuzzy garage rock package. Their danceable indie rock veneer, akin to influences such as Sondre Lerche, the Replacements, and Elvis Costello, conceals deeper themes of mental health and relationship struggles. This performance at Trident will feature the group's duo configuration with Emily Campbell on woodwinds and the addition of several special surprise instrumentalists.
