Bleachers opened a five-night stand at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California on Thursday as the band resumed their Bleachers Forever Tour of North America. Singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen joined the Jack Antonoff-led band as a special guest on opening night of the run.
Antonoff summoned Jepsen to the storied Troubadour stage for an acoustic version of “I Wanna Get Better.” The song was released as the lead single off Bleachers’ 2014 debut album, Strange Desire.
Antonoff and his bandmates embarked on the Bleachers Forever Tour in June. The band is performing in support of their fifth album, everyone for ten minutes, which was released in May. The sold-out Troubadour run continues tonight.
