Featuring veteran stalwarts of the Crescent City scene, the Joe Krown Trio has long held down the Sunday-night slot at the Maple Leaf in Uptown New Orleans.

New Found Glory First Avenue : 6:00 p.m. May 25
It's crazy to think that it's been 10 years since New Found Glory released Sticks and Stones — especially for the fans. The bulk of us are nearing our 30s. In our teens, we belted out the lyrics to "The Blue Stare" and "It Never Snows in Florida" with adolescent emotion. Those days are... More >>

Dr. Mambo's Combo Bunker's Music Bar & Grill : 9:30 p.m. every Mon., Sun.
1987 was a notable year for Minnesota: the Twins won the World Series, Prince released one of his best albums in Sign 'O' the Times, and St. Louis Park's own Coen Brothers released their first great comedy Raising Arizona. 1987 was also the year that Dr. Mambo's Combo was formed, and it just so...

American Revival Mill City Nights : 8:00 p.m. May 25
Indie-rock with traces of country is a tough genre to innovate in, and even tougher to simply retread the same ground. Minneapolis band American Revival doesn't reinvent the indie-rock wheel, but it does add something immensely enjoyable to the genre, which is more than good enough. Their new... More >>

Cory Wong Quartet Artists' Quarter : 7:00 p.m. every Tue.
Usually when someone's referred to as one of the best-kept secrets in town, it's an aspiring journeyman or a niche-genre artist that's flying under the radar. But as the weekly resident of one of St. Paul's premier clubs, Cory Wong doesn't quite fit under either category -- the jazz-and-more... More >>
St. Paul (Downtown)	Jazz

Transmission Clubhouse Jager : 10:00 p.m. every Wed.
"Retro" is a tricky niche to slot a dance night into. Usually you've got to find yourself an era and a genre, hew towards the hits, and maybe garnish it with an outsized wink, a double-pistol-point and a smirking acknowledgement that you think the past is, well, kinda goofy. But Transmission... More >>

Cornbread Harris Loring Pasta Bar : 6:00 p.m. every Fri.
You might've heard of his son -- a man named Jimmy who teamed up with another man named Terry, the rest being R&B history -- but Cornbread Harris is a Twin Cities legend in his own right. Harris is a WWII vet who joined Augie Garcia to record the area's first rock'n'roll record (1955's "Hi Yo... More >>

International Reggae All-Stars High Five Bar & Grill : May 24
Make all the jokes you want about the climate differences between Kingston and Minneapolis, but the cultural ones aren't as hard to reconcile. The aptly dubbed Lynval "Golden Voice" Jackson and his band have been a welcome and frequent presence in Twin Cities clubs for years now, and they're... More >>

Nachito Herrera Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant : 8:00 p.m. May 31
Nachito Herrera has taken an eventful route from Cuba to Minneapolis -- a child prodigy at 12 performing Rachmaninoff with the Cuban Symphony Orchestra, a student of Buena Vista Social Club pianist Ruben Gonzalez, and a composer, arranger, and musical director leading a number of ensemble bands...

Open Blues Jam with Moses Oakland Famous Dave's BBQ & Blues Uptown : 8:00 p.m. every Sun.
Moses Oakland relocated from the Bay Area to the Twin Cities back in 1987, and since then -- well, it'd probably be easier and less space-consuming to list all the venues he hasn't played and the legends he hasn't gigged with. A blues, soul and jazz aficionado well-versed in a wide array of... More >>
Uptown/ Eat Street	Blues

The Bungalow The Record Room : 10:00 p.m. every Thu.
Friday night gets all the love, Wednesday night has its nudge-wink "hump day" cachet and everyone hates Mondays so much that there's no choice but to go out and wash that start-of-the-week ennui away. But what about Thursday, the day of the week where people are most likely to put... More >>
