Vincent Lima books the Blind Pig for April 4

The Island Records singer-songwriter, who writes whole albums around Greek myths, plays an all-ages Sunday show on First Street next spring.

Most singer-songwriters write about breakups. Vincent Lima wrote a whole album about Orpheus and Eurydice, then followed it with one about Perseus and Andromeda. On Sunday, April 4, 2027, he brings those songs to The Blind Pig.

The show was announced Oct. 20. The Blind Pig's own calendar lists doors at 6 p.m., all ages, $30.15, with a $5 door surcharge for anyone under 21. TicketWeb has the same date with doors at 6:30, so check before you leave the house. Either way, it's an early Sunday night that ends in time for Monday.

Lima is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist on Island Records. His debut album, To Love A Thing That Fades, came out in September 2025. It retold the Orpheus and Eurydice story across 15 tracks about love, loss and hope. It's a big swing for a first record, and it gave him a clear identity: folk-rooted, indie-leaning songs with a novelist's sense of structure.

The next chapter is already underway. Lima has announced his second album, Your World Is Big Enough, due Jan. 22 on Island, along with the single "Atlas." This time the frame is Perseus and Andromeda, and he uses the myth to work through a conflict between exploration and commitment: the pull to keep going versus the pull to stay. So by the time he gets to Ann Arbor, the new record will have been out a couple of months, and this will be one of the first chances to hear it in a club.

By April, the new record will have been out a couple of months, and this is a chance to hear it in a club.

The room makes sense. The Blind Pig, at 208 S. First St., holds about 400 people. For a songwriter whose albums reward close listening, a room that size means you can hear the lyrics and the fingerpicking, not just the singalongs. The all-ages door matters in a college town too. Some of the people most likely to show up for an album built on classical mythology are still a few years short of 21.

If you're new to him, start with To Love A Thing That Fades from the top, then put on "Atlas." By April you'll know whether you're in.

Doors at 6 (or 6:30). Don't be late for the first song.
