After 15 years in Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Gibbard didn’t make his first solo album in search of a new beginning; instead, it closes a door. “These songs span eight years, three relationships, living in two different places, drinking then not drinking” he says of the dozen tracks that comprise Former Lives. “They’re a side story, not a new chapter.” Gibbard brings his new side story to the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 14 with support from Damien Jurado. Tickets to the show are $35 + service fees. The show starts at 8pm and is all ages. Buy your tickets here or enter our contest below for a free pair!
