Jesse Welles: Red Tour 2026 in Omaha

Jesse Welles brings his Red Tour 2026 to Omaha on August 19, blending his raw folk protest style with the alt-country energy of opening act Ratboys. Welles, known for his viral protest songs addressing contemporary issues, has been described as a modern Woody Guthrie. His setlist will likely draw from his catalog, including tracks from his acclaimed albums **Red Trees and White Trashes** and **Under The Powerlines**.

Ratboys, a Chicago-based indie rock and alt-country band, will open the evening, offering a mix of twangy guitars and heartfelt lyrics. Together, the lineup promises a night of introspective and politically charged songwriting, perfect for fans of thoughtful Americana and folk.

Welles gained widespread attention in 2024 for his social media folk protest songs and has since performed at Farm Aid and on national television. This Omaha date is part of a broader tour, giving local audiences a chance to see an artist on the rise.
