Get your tickets to see Iris DeMent in Indianapolis, IN. Happening on Sunday, June 22, 2025 at Shelton Auditorium at Butler Arts Center. Doors open at 7:30 PM.

With an inimitable voice, as John Prine described, “like you’ve heard, but not really,” and unforgettable melodies rooted in hymns, gospel, and old country music, Iris DeMent is simply one of the finest singer-songwriters in America as well as one of our fiercest advocates for human rights. Her debut record Infamous Angel, which just celebrated its 30th anniversary, was recently named one of the ?greatest country albums of all time? by Rolling Stone, and the two albums that followed, My Life and The Way I Should, were nominated for GRAMMYs. From there, DeMent released three records on her own label, Flariella Records, the most recent of which, The Trackless Woods (2015), was hailed as ?a quietly powerful triumph? by The Guardian. DeMent?s songs have also been featured in film (True Grit) and television (The Leftovers) and recorded by numerous artists. Fittingly, she received the Americana Music Trailblazer Award in 2017.
