Soul Asylum brought its acoustic tour to Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, New Hampshire, on Thursday night, with Corey Glover billed as the opener. (tickets.tupelohall.com) Tupelo listed the show for April 23, 2026 at 8 p.m. at 10 A Street, with doors at 6:30 p.m. and ticket prices ranging from $50 for main floor or mezzanine seats to $65 for counter seats. (tickets.tupelohall.com) (tupelomusichall.com) The date was one stop on Soul Asylum’s spring 2026 acoustic run, which the band’s official site lists through Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Illinois before summer full-band dates in Europe and the United States. (soulasylum.com) Tupelo describes itself as an “intimate setting,” and the venue’s calendar markets table seating rather than a standing-room club layout. That format fits an acoustic package built around quieter arrangements and close-range audience response. (tupelomusichall.com) The show also paired two different 1990s rock legacies. Tupelo billed Corey Glover as the opener, and Living Colour’s official site identifies Glover as a member of the multi-platinum band and lists him on the April 2026 Soul Asylum acoustic dates. (tickets.tupelohall.com) (livingcolour.com) For Soul Asylum, acoustic sets draw on a long public history with stripped-down performances. Record Store Day’s official release page says the band’s complete 1993 MTV Unplugged session was issued on vinyl in 2023, giving newer fans a recent reentry point into that format. (recordstoreday.com) Those quieter shows also lean on songs that defined the band’s commercial peak. The Recording Academy lists “Runaway Train” among Soul Asylum’s 36th Grammy Awards nominations, and the band’s 1995 album *Let Your Dim Light Shine*, which includes “Misery,” received a 30th-anniversary vinyl reissue in November 2025, according to multiple retailers. (grammy.com) (goldmarkvinyl.com) (discogs.com) By Thursday afternoon, public setlist databases still showed no confirmed song list from the Derry performance, only the venue, date and the acoustic-tour billing. The draw, for fans, was less surprise than proximity: old radio staples, played in a room built for listening. (setlist.fm)
