[ROCK] Most fans probably know Garrett Klahn as singer and guitarist of the post-hardcore band Texas is the Reason. Earlier this year Klahn released his first solo record, and if there is one thing the maturing musician knows, it is how important just one record can be. Texas is the Reason is now highly praised as one of the pioneers of emo music, but the band, which only existed for three years, only released one LP, 1996’s Do You Know Who You Are. On his solo record, Klahn does not aim to recreate that magic—he aims more so to summarize a career so far. That means pulling some of those emo sentiments and matching them with rock or psych-folk sounds to create a record that emotionally affects as much as it physically moves. Garrett Klahn comes to Mohawk Place on his first full band tour with his band the Surrounding Areas on Monday, October 24 with local support from Del Paxton and the Good.
