Pete Droge returns to The Triple Door with a full band of all-star musicians in tow. The evening will celebrate the double vinyl deluxe reissue of his debut album, Necktie Second. The set will also lean heavily on material from his new studio album, Fade Away Blue. (Out August 22 on Puzzle Tree/Missing Piece Records.) Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann), the collection is largely autobiographical, built on a series of dreamy, cinematic snapshots from throughout Droge’s life. The songs are bittersweet, balancing longing and gratitude in equal measure. The arrangements are warm and inviting, with a spotlight fixed firmly on Droge’s tender lyrics and understated delivery. The result is an album a lifetime in the making, a rich, revelatory sonic memoir that faces down doubt and despair with love, resilience, and commitment at every turn.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Droge is a songwriter’s songwriter who’s shared bills with the likes of Tom Petty and Neil Young. Since rocketing to early acclaim on the strength of his 1994 debut, Necktie Second, Droge has released a series of critically lauded solo albums, appeared in Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous; teamed up with Matthew Sweet and Shawn Mullins to form the Americana supergroup The Thorns; co-produced records for Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard and Chris Ballew of The Presidents of the United States of America; recorded three collections with his wife, Elaine Summers, as The Droge and Summers Blend.
