Two months after the release of his sophomore album, Owl City (Owatonna's Adam Young) will play his biggest home-state concert to date at Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul on July 30. Tickets won't be on sale until April 1 at relatively Minnesota-cheap prices, $25-$28. Mat Kearney and Unwed Sailor will open.
The venue choice doesn't exactly fit in well with the title of the record, "The Bright and Beautiful," which lands May 17. The disc was recorded and self-produced at Young's place in Owatonna. Grammy-winning engineer Joseph Puig (Green Day, John Mayer) mixed the album.
