Old 97’s at The Fillmore

The Old 97’s are Making Their Way to The Fillmore

Travelers searching for an authentic slice of American rock ‘n’ roll need look no further: the Old 97’s, pioneers of alt-country, are rolling into San Francisco’s legendary Fillmore on April 4th for a night of boot-stomping energy, infectious melodies, and pure, unadulterated fun.
For over three decades, this Texas-born quartet has been delivering a signature blend of punk-infused twang and heartfelt storytelling that has won them a devoted following. Their songs—like “Timebomb,” “Barrier Reef,” and “Question”—combine razor-sharp hooks, road-weary charm, and an anthemic quality that feels equally at home in dive bars, open highways, and storied venues like The Fillmore.

On stage, frontman Rhett Miller is a force of nature, whipping through frenetic rockers and tender ballads with a spark that hasn’t dimmed since the band’s early days. Expect a setlist packed with fan favorites and deep cuts, all delivered with the Old 97’s trademark blend of grit, swagger, and Southern soul.

Pair this with The Fillmore’s warm, history-drenched atmosphere, and you have a night where timeless music meets timeless space. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering the band’s magnetic mix of country and rock, this is the kind of show that feels like a celebration of both music and the moments that make it worth listening to.
