Advance Base at Duffy's Tavern with Safe Space and Dream Journal | Duffy's Tavern

Details

Advance Base (formerly known as Casiotone for the Painfully Alone) will be making their annual stop in Lincoln on December 11, 2023, as part of their Christmas songs tour. The event will take place at Duffy's Tavern and will feature performances by Safe Space and Dream Journal. Owen Ashworth, the talent behind Advance Base, has been incorporating Christmas songs into his music for nearly 20 years. From the beloved fan-favorite "Cold White Christmas" by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone to the recent release of Advance Base's single "Christmas Steve," Ashworth's holiday-themed tunes have resonated with listeners. In fact, there are now enough Advance Base and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone Christmas songs to compile a complete mixtape, which can be downloaded for free from Advance Base's Bandcamp page. The songs on the mixtape don't solely celebrate Christmas, but rather explore the complex emotions and realities that come with the holiday season. Ashworth's music combines sparkling electric piano and warm electronic drones, creating a backdrop for poignant lyrics that touch on the experiences of lonely Midwesterners navigating strained family dynamics and mundane jobs during the Christmas season. These songs are both humorous and melancholic, showcasing the depth and authenticity that Ashworth is known for. Each December, Ashworth takes his Christmas Mixtape on tour, bringing his introspective and heartfelt compositions to audiences across the US and Canada. This year, the tour will make a stop in Lincoln, where Ashworth will be joined by Safe Space from Omaha and Dream Journal from the local music scene. Don't miss the chance to experience the emotional resonance of Advance Base's music and immerse yourself in the spirit of the holiday season. Tickets for the event are available for $8.
