St. Paul and The Broken Bones book Tipitina's for April 22

The soul band brings its self-titled era and the new Proxy EP to Uptown on a Thursday night next spring, with The Point. opening.

A Thursday night at Tipitina's with a horn-driven soul band is about as New Orleans as a booking gets. St. Paul and The Broken Bones will play Tipitina's on Thursday, April 22, 2027, with The Point. opening and the show starting at 9 p.m. The date was announced Oct. 26, and tickets are on sale through TicketWeb.

Tipitina's holds about 1,000 people, so this is a club show for a band that has also played much bigger rooms. Concert Archives lists a 2026 date at Charlotte's Spectrum Center among its recent shows. A 9 p.m. start on a weeknight in April also puts the show right in the thick of spring.

The band arrives with a lot of new music. Its self-titled sixth album came out Oct. 10, 2025, on the band's own label, Oasis Pizza Records, distributed by Thirty Tigers, as mxdwn reported when it shared the single "Sitting in the Corner." Another early track, "Fall Moon," was shared that August. mxdwn reviewed the album when it came out. This fall the band followed with Proxy, a four-song EP that BroadwayWorld covered as a follow-up to the self-titled record.

The band has kept busy on the road. BroadwayWorld reported a fall tour of the EU and UK, and Concert Archives lists the band on the Delbert McClinton Sandy Beaches Cruise in mid-January 2027, one of several acts on that sailing. The Tipitina's date is among the first land shows on its 2027 calendar.

The band's catalog goes back a decade and more. Rolling Stone covered the band's plans for *Sea of Noise* back in 2016, and American Songwriter has followed its album-and-tour cycles since. Two releases in a year, on the band's own label, suggest a band with plenty left to say.

Tipitina's is a room people in this town know well, and it rewards bands that play to the people in front of them. A soul band with horns and songs to sing along to fits right in. The Point. opening gives early arrivals a reason to be there before the headliner.

The show is on sale now, and with a room this size, April isn't as far away as it sounds. Get tickets while you're still thinking about it, and plan for a late Thursday night Uptown next spring.
