Aimee Mann brings 'Bachelor No. 2' to Englert Theatre
The singer-songwriter will focus on her breakthrough album during a July 22 stop on a six-city Midwestern tour.
Aimee Mann is scheduled to perform at the Englert Theatre in Cedar Rapids on July 22, 2026, as part of a six-city Midwestern tour centered on her album Bachelor No. 2.
The Gazette reported that the show gives local fans a chance to hear the 2000 release in full.
Mann recently sang backing vocals on the 1987 Rush track "Time Stand Still" during a Los Angeles appearance. "It was so cool that (Rush vocalist-bassist) Geddy (Lee) asked me to sing 'Time Stand Still' when Rush opened their tour in Los Angeles," she said. "It was super fun. They couldn't have been nicer."
She added that the experience let her focus on the song without broader performance pressure: "Sometimes songs are just more fun to write when you don't have to worry about being up tempo or cheerful."
Tickets and set details have not been released.
