Hot Club of Cowtown
|
|
Elana James, Whit Smith, and Jake Erwin love to swing. But their obsession has a split character, its potent dichotomy right there in their trio's name: Hot Club (as in Django Reinhardt's and Stephane Grappelli's Paris-based Gypsy jazz) of Cowtown (as in deep in the heart of Texas where Bob...

Pokey LaFarge
|
|
Decked out in a fedora and vintage clothes, Pokey LaFarge might be taken for a youthful Bing Crosby. Crosby drifted popward, but LaFarge, who turns 30 this year, has embraced a broad swath of Americana to complement his jazz inclinations, creating a distinct persona that's definitely not of...

Rory Block
|
|
Soon after picking up the guitar at age 10, Rory Block became enthralled with the blues and was fortunate enough to track down giants such as Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, and Rev. Gary Davis, who imparted their wisdom and encouraged her fledgling skills. Some 40 years later, Block herself... More >> |

Joe Krown Trio
|
|
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. Keyboardist Joe Krown neatly fits into a lengthy tradition of accomplished NOLA piano professors, but is also adept at stirring up soulful... More >> |

Father John Misty
|
|
Josh Tillman issued a handful of solo albums before spending four years drumming and occasionally singing with Fleet Foxes, helping forge their atmospheric, Pacific Northwestern chamber folk-pop. Tillman then headed south, wandered into Laurel Canyon, absorbed the psychedelic remnants of '70s... More >> |

New Found Glory
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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 >> |

Cornbread Harris
|
|
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 >> |

Cory Wong Quartet
|
|
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 >> |

Transmission
|
|
"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 >> |

International Reggae All-Stars
|
|
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 >> |

The Bungalow
|
|
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 >> |

Open Blues Jam with Moses Oakland
|
|
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 >> |
