The moment
Manning Fireworks was seven weeks old and MJ Lenderman was suddenly the most talked-about guitarist in indie rock — the Asheville deadpan behind Wednesday's squall and Tigers Blood's leads, now the headliner himself, singing about houseboats and Lightning McQueen while every critic in America drafted the same profile. John had clocked him two years earlier opening for Plains at this same venue. Ryan Davis opened this night; John saw him headline Deep Cuts a year later. The web keeps weaving.
From the time
- Manning Fireworks
“The September 2024 breakout — slacker drawl, crying-in-the-beer guitar, and the fall’s consensus indie record.”
