Celebrating its 25th anniversary, The Magnetic Fields will perform 69 Love Songs in its entirety over the course of two nights, for the first time in 20 years.

Originally conceived as a cabaret song cycle for the stage, lead singer/songwriter Stephin Merritt set out to write 69 Love Songs using most of the known popular music styles, from punk to country to soul and jazz. The result is simultaneously ironic, tongue-in-cheek, bitter, and humorous, creating a cult classic that launched the band into the mainstream.

Merritt will be joined by Magnetic Fields’ members Sam Davol, Shirley Simms, Chris Ewen, and Anthony Kaczynski.
