Blondshell, the Los Angeles grunge and indie rock band, plays Newport Music Hall on its tour following the album 'Violins'.
Blondshell plays Newport Music Hall on Thursday, May 20, 2027. The show is part of the tour following their third album, Violins, and they're the only act on the bill.
Blondshell hails from Los Angeles, California, and plays a blend of grunge, indie rock and alternative. That description covers a fair amount of ground: the grunge side brings the heavier, distorted guitar tones, the indie rock keeps things melodic and song-focused, and the alternative side lets them pull in a bit of everything in between. It's the kind of sound that can shift from a loud, driving chorus to something more stripped-back and quiet within the same track.
Coming off their third album, Violins, this tour is the first time they're taking that new material on the road. If you've been following them, you'll recognize the Los Angeles roots and the grunge-indie-alternative mix they've built around. The set will lean on the new record, so you'll hear the songs from Violins as they were meant to be played live.
