The Decemberists in Concert at Stage AE (Tues., 5/7/24)

The Decemberists’ fourth album, The Crane Wife, was one of their biggest. It permeated numerous facets of popular culture. “The Crane Wife 3,” a cut from the album, appeared on “Scrubs,” and the band performed it on the season six finale of “Parks and Recreation.” However, the song “16 Military Wives” from their third album Picaresque, first put them on people’s radar. The Portland, Oregon, group has amassed a gathering over the past two decades with its indie, folk-rock sound. The Decemberists are touring in advance of their new album, As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again, which is set for release on June 14. Their concerts are known for audience participation, so be ready to contribute to their show at the Stage AE. Opening are Ratboys. Doors Open at 7 p.m. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (C.M., R.H.)
