The Arcadian Wild come back to the Orpheum after seven years

The Nashville folk trio plays Flagstaff on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2027, on its Make It Out Alive Tour, returning to the room it last played in August 2019.

In August 2019, the Arcadian Wild played a summer night at the Orpheum Theater in Flagstaff. They're coming back to the same stage, this time in the middle of a northern Arizona winter, with two more records behind them.

The Arcadian Wild play the Orpheum Theater in Flagstaff on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2027, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $22 to $28 through See Tickets. The show was announced Oct. 7. It's the band's first Flagstaff & Sedona date since Aug. 10, 2019, which was also at the Orpheum.

The Arcadian Wild are a Nashville-based folk and pop trio. The new album is *Make It Out Alive*, and the band started teasing it this spring with the single "Comes Around Again," then followed with "Cool To Know You." The tour carries the album's name. Its U.S. headline run has included stops in Iowa City, Minneapolis, Chicago, Asheville and Atlanta, and Minneapolis's Parkway Theater billed its October show as the Make It Out Alive Tour. The run continues into the new year, which is how it reaches Flagstaff in February.

There's another record between the two Orpheum dates. In 2023 the band released *Welcome*, previewed with the single "Lara." So the 2019 crowd has missed two full album cycles. Anyone who first heard them at that summer show will be hearing a band that has kept writing and kept refining its sound.

The Orpheum is a good place for that. With room for 1,000, it's a real downtown theater stage. For a trio whose songs lean on harmony and acoustic detail, that's the right kind of room: big enough to feel like an occasion, small enough that the quiet passages don't disappear.

At $22 to $28, this is one of the friendlier tickets of the winter, and a Tuesday night in February is exactly when a town needs a good reason to get out of the house. Folk shows in Flagstaff tend to draw a mix of longtime locals, students and people who came up from Sedona for the night. A trio built on voices and strings suits that crowd.

A few things to know. It's a 7:30 p.m. start on a weeknight. February in Flagstaff can mean snow, so check the roads if you're coming up from the Verde Valley. No support act is listed yet, so watch the Orpheum's listing for an opener.

Seven and a half years is a long wait for a band that already knows the room. On Feb. 2, the Arcadian Wild pick up where they left off, with a new album and a midwinter Tuesday that's worth leaving the house for.
