Dan Rodriguez Live at The Bend Theater

About this event

Join us Friday, December 11, 2026, for an intimate evening with Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter Dan Rodriguez, bringing his warm, soulful brand of Americana to the historic Bend Theater stage. What to Expect Dan’s live shows are built for listening — heartfelt storytelling, rich acoustic arrangements, and a voice that fills a room without needing to shout. Expect a set that draws from his catalog of albums and EPs alongside songs from his newest release, Wander, which he considers the best work of his career. It’s the kind of night where the room goes quiet between songs because people actually want to hear what he says next. About Dan Dan Rodriguez built his career in Minneapolis before trading city life for a homestead in a small Minnesota town, where he now lives with his wife and their three homeschooled boys. When he’s not on the road or producing other artists in his home studio, he’s likely out in the garden, in the woods with his kids, or tinkering with one of his many hobbies — photography, bow hunting, fly fishing, woodworking, beekeeping, even restoring vintage motorcycles. That grounded, close-to-home way of living comes through in his music. Over the years he’s shared stages with acts like The Civil Wars, NEEDTOBREATHE, Andy Grammer, Matt Nathanson, Drew Holcomb, Sister Hazel, and more. His songs have found their way into television shows, films, and commercials — most notably when Budweiser featured his song “I’ll Be Waiting” in a national Super Bowl ad. Why Come Out This is a rare chance to catch an artist with major-stage credentials in a small, historic room built for exactly this kind of night — no bad seats, no wall of sound, just a great songwriter and a room full of people paying attention.
