Mon Rovîa at First Avenue — Friday, Nov 7

On Friday, November 7, Minneapolis gets a chance to welcome one of indie folk’s most introspective voices — Mon Rovîa — at First Avenue. Having survived civil war in Liberia, been adopted, and then carved out his own musical identity, this artists story is as resonant as his sound. 

His music blends indie folk, Americana, and a touch of pop — a fusion shaped by his lived experiences and a deep yearning for identity and healing. With over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, he’s already making waves. 

I expect a deeply personal show. Mon Rovia often weaves storytelling between songs — narrative threads about his past, struggle, and journey that invite listeners into his world. And musically, he balances softness with swelling crescendos, creating a feeling of quiet intimacy and emotional weight.

He’s also committed to giving back: for this tour, Mon Rovîa is partnering with PLUS1, donating $1 from each ticket to Hurricane Helene relief in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee. 

Don’t miss this chance to see Mon Rovîa in a room built for connection. This show is bound to create a shared space of reflection, belonging, and vulnerability. Tickets can be found here.
