Bob Mould is scheduled to play the Grog Shop on Friday, Oct. 20. A prolific songwriter, his musical career is rooted in punk and has spanned more than 40 years.
Mould is shown performing during the 2009 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California.CLEVELAND, Ohio – At first glance, Bob Mould looks like a professor. You know the type, the cool, laid-back one who knows his stuff and is approachable but can spot BS a mile away.
“As far as acoustic vs. electric, electric is sort of where I’m at in my head at the moment,” he told cleveland.com. “The last decade has been primarily electric rock music or alternative or whatever we call it. It’s convenient for me, it’s fun for me, it gives people that electric charge that the five most recent records have been built around.”
You can tell Mould slams every ounce of his soul into what he’s singing. He’s like an athlete who doesn’t take a play off or phone it in. By the end of a concert, his voice has been through a grinder. His live music and stage presence are not held up by choreography but by raw energy. “It was a turbulent time for all of us,” he said. “The record was written before Covid appeared, and we were pretty deep into the last political regime. And if there were ever for me a moment when I looked back a little bit it would have been that record. And really looking back to the fall of 1983, that was an awful year as well. Three years into the Reagan administration and being a young gay man and being told by my government that I should die for my lifestyle.
He’s had a lot of experiences to draw on. Mould’s early years in music were as formative as they were turbulent. Mould’s travels have taken him from his native northern New York home just south of Canada to the Twin Cities, where he was an integral part of a vibrant, diverse music scene. He has lived in Brooklyn, spent time in Berlin and has resided in San Francisco since 2009.“I’m pretty in touch with my crowd especially when I’m doing solo tours because I’m super serving, right? The people who come to the Grog Shop are the core fans; they know the whole catalog. I think I know what they want to hear.
