9 pm, $5, 21+

Annalibera is a twang-shoe chambergaze band founded by Nebraskan Anna Gebhardt in 2010 when she started composing songs in the bedroom of her college apartment. In 2012 she began playing shows in Des Moines, Iowa with guitarist Ryan Stier (of the River Monks and Extravision). That fall after the pair recorded with Phil Young (of TIRES), he joined the group on bass and brought his then-drummer Chris Marshall with him. Nicholas Naioti (of MR NASTI) joined them as drummer on tour in 2013 and has been playing with them ever since.

So, the classically-trained singer/pianist escaped the opera world, joined with three Iowa D.I.Y. music scene veterans and multi-instrumentalists, and since then they’ve toured and played festivals around the Midwest. In 2014 they self-produced their debut LP, Nevermind I Love You, at Phil’s studio Wabi Sound. Set for release on March 24, 2015, Nevermind I Love You was described by BBC writer Andy Von Pip as “one of the most spellbindingly beautiful, assured and astonishing debut albums we’ve heard in quite some time.”
