Bad Books Tickets

Bad Books is a collaborative indie rock/folk project formed in 2010 by Kevin Devine and Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra, with core members over the years including Robert McDowell, Chris Freeman, and Ben Homola. The music blends intimate voice-and-guitar storytelling with fuller indie rock arrangements, creating a sound that resonates with fans of both indie folk and modern rock. Based in the United States, Bad Books has built a dedicated following through consistent touring and thoughtful, cinematic records.

Whether you’re a longtime devotee or discovering their music for the first time, you’ll find Bad Books’ work rooted in honesty and collaboration. We’ve got you covered for tickets, tours, and official updates as they come through venues across the country.

Key moments in Bad Books’ catalog include a self-titled debut (2010), II (2012), III (2019) which shifted toward a more intimate, cinematic sound and received strong press attention, and the Daytrotter Session (live, 2016). The band celebrated the 10th anniversary with Bad Books (10th Anniversary Edition) in 2020, and II: Revisited followed in 2023. A notable track, Forest Whitaker, premiered via Rolling Stone in 2012 and became a defining single for the project. The music also reached broader pop culture through a feature in How I Met Your Mother (Bass Player Wanted, Season 9). For fans and newcomers alike, Bad Books offers a compelling blend of storytelling and mood-driven arrangements.
