Watch Craig Finn & The War On Drugs Cover Bob Seger And Warren Zevon At A Drugcember To Remember
The War On Drugs are in the midst of their hometown holiday residency, A Drugcember To Remember, which occasioned our interview with Adam Granduciel this week. Last night, at the second of three shows at Philly venue Johnny Brenda’s, the Drugs welcomed Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn to the stage for three covers and a Finn original.
The band’s second set began with Finn performing “Blankets” from his 2019 solo album I Need A New War, then sticking around for runs through Warren Zevon’s “Play It All Night Long” and John Hiatt’s “Walk On.” (You may recall that in 2018 the Drugs covered a different Zevon song with Finn.) At the end of the night Finn returned with fellow guest Matt Lowell of Lo Moon to sing Bob Seger’s “Against The Wind.”
