Billy Bragg will play the Academy of Music in Northampton on Oct. 9.
The British singer-songwriter, who notably came to fame by bashing out melodic punk rock solo on an electric guitar, combined anti-Tory political diatribes with sweet, clever love songs.
Along with more than a dozen solo LPs, he notably recorded two albums with Wilco, Mermaid Avenue in 1998 and Mermaid Avenue Vol. II in 2000, using old Woody Guthrie lyrics.
Bragg’s highest charting U.S. single was 1991′s “Sexuality,” which he co-wrote with Johnny Marr.
Tickets range from $35 to $55 and can be purchased at aomtheatre.com.
