The Scarlet Goodbye is a musical adventure, spawned out of the chance meeting of two Minnesota Music veterans who come from different sides of the street. Daniel Murphy and Jeff Arundel may seem like an unlikely mash-up, but they weave their pasts together in an intoxicating (and at times intoxicated) mix that recalls Big Star and The Hollies… musical, melodic, loud, soft… and above all, emotive.

Special guest John Swardson, is based in Minneapolis and writes songs that “bleed through the holes in the soles of his boots; a songwriter of uncommon emotional detail, depth, and empathy.”

The Aster Café will be enforcing a vaccination policy for this show. All attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination or 72 hour negative test.
