Molly Brandt with The Host Country at CSPS Hall on Friday, August 22, 2025 @ 8PM.
Brandt gives you that same feeling live on stage and in her studio recordings. You’re pulling up a stool next to her and she’s got tales to tell you—her own, other real-life stories, and fictional fables that ring true no matter how much melodrama and poetic detail they contain. Like the storyteller himself, Tom T. Hall, Brandt knows just what to tell and what to hold back to fire up the listener’s imagination.
The Host Country brings you rock infused with Americana, blues, folk, and a bit of synthy goodness. Original lyrically-driven music that's inviting and sincere, tinged with the rawness of the emotions that live within love, longing, regret, joy, and everything in between. Dual vocalists & songwriters Ty Wistrand (guitar) and Diana Weishaar (keys), along with Tom Rue (bass), Chris Marshall (drums), and Michael Lovan (guitar) use their music to tell a story that's heartfel, reatable, and magnetic.
This is a General Admission seated show held in the Main Theater of CSPS Hall. Doors will open 1 hour before showtime.
$17 Advance | $23 Door
