Pedro the Lion: “It’s Hard To Find A Friend” + “Control” Tour 2023!

This year, 1998’s “It’s Hard to Find a Friend” and 2002’s “Control”, turn 25 and 21 years old, respectively. To celebrate, Dave, along with guitar player Erik Walters and drummer Terence Ankeny, will play every song from both albums on tour. This will be the first and last time you’ll get to hear all these songs together on a tour. We hope to see you at one of the shows.

Strange Negotiations Film Screenings And Q&A

PLEASE JOIN US!

A very special preview screening of the SXSW premiered documentary Strange Negotiations from award winning filmmaker Brandon Vedder. The film takes an unconventionally poetic and personal approach to the music doc, exploring the spiritual, artistic and personal turmoil of David Bazan (Pedro the Lion) as he navigates his career and family-life after walking away from the foundational christian faith of his youth. This arc plays out as David tours an America that is in its own crisis of faith, highlighted by the 2016 presidential election.

David Bazan and Brandon Vedder will be in attendance for a post screening Q&A.
