The event, which will begin at 9:15 PM, marks an important milestone for the artist, who is returning to Italy after a period of absence.
Ticket sales will open on Friday, March 21 at 10 AM, and it promises to be an unmissable event for lovers of singer-songwriter music.
An Artist of Renowned Fame
Bill Callahan is known for his distinctive baritone voice and the poetic lyrics that characterize his songs. With a career that began in the early ’90s with the project Smog, he has released iconic albums such as “Wild Love” and “Knock Knock.” Since 2007, he has pursued a solo career using his real name, continuing to explore new sounds and lyrical depths.
His latest studio work, YTI⅃AƎЯ, has received widespread critical acclaim and was followed by a live album titled Resuscitate!, which captures the intensity of his live performances. This record highlights not only Callahan’s interpretative mastery but also his ability to evoke emotions through every note.
A Concert Not to Be Missed
The opening words of the album YTI⅃AƎЯ—”And we are coming out of dreams / And we are returning to dreams”—perfectly encapsulate the essence of Callahan’s music. His skill in telling universal stories through songs rich with powerful imagery makes every concert a unique experience. With Resuscitate!, Callahan brings this intensity to the stage, transforming each performance into a profound and engaging emotional journey.
