David BrombergAngel BandA rare live performance from the legendary guitar, fiddle, mandolin and dobro player, as he roams through a timeless selection of blues, bluegrass, Americana, jazz and folk tunes. As the NY Times noted of Bromberg, “He has such control of his audience that he can, at one moment, hold it in his hand with a tender, touching yet funny anecdotal song, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.”
Café Accordion Orchestra (CAO) performs an eclectic mix of vintage Swing, Latin, American, and French Café Music. The band first formed in 1994 with the idea of recreating the repertoire of Bal Musette orchestras, the bands that were popular in Parisian cafés and bistros in the 1920’s through 1950’s. While this romantic music is still at the heart of CAO’s play-list, they have expanded their repertoire to include Colombian Cumbia, Tex-Mex Polka, Brazilian Forro and Chorro, movie themes, and anything else that the members find appealing. Led by the quietly dazzling Dan Newton, this quintet knows the value of understatement, subtlety, and genuine swing.
Jim Walsh aka The Mad Ripple is this evening's host of the 416 Club. Jim is well-known for his occasional neighborhood jam sessions, or "hootenannies" and his writing and songwriting. You can read Jim's articles and ponderings in the Southwest Journal, Minnpost.com, Reveille magazine, among others. Last year, his first book, "the replacements: all over but the shouting: an oral history" was published to much acclaim.Tonight's guests will include Ashleigh Still, Thomas Kivey, Eliza Blue, Brianna Lane, Tim Franzich, Alison Rae, Wildflower Muse, and Harmony Hoops.
The Cedar continues the Third Tuesday Dance Night series in style with Davina and the Vagabonds. Third Tuesday is a new monthly event for couple dancing featuring live music and the great, open dance floor of The Cedar.
Davina and the Vagabonds will get things cookin' with their melting pot of blues and jazz, New Orleans style. Davina has been called the "hardest-working blueswoman in frigid Minnesota." "Two things remain consistent at all her shows, though: her throaty but cushiony voice, which has a sort of hard-mattress comfort to it that's part Bonnie Raitt, Etta James and a little Amy Winehouse, and her band's rollicking New Orleans flavor, driven home by dueling horn players and a bayou-thick standup bass.
