 SolasTickets are on sale NOW for a slew of great fall shows at The Cedar. Please join us for a Bill Kubeczko Appreciation Concert with Eight Head and special guests (9/7), as The Cedar community gratefully acknowledges the many contributions of former Artistic Director Bill Kubeczko. You can also get tickets now for the somewhat unusually named diva and violinist Joan As Police Woman (9/13), and the sweet harmonies of Storyhill (10/3). For lovers of the Emerald Isle, be among the first to get your tickets for a trio of Irish-themed shows in October: great Irish-American band Solas (10/10) with a superb new singer from Kilkenny in the form of Máiréad Phelan, and their first new studio album in over three years; Irish fiddle champion Liz Carroll (10/17) with the Twin Cities own Daithi Sproule (Altan) providing an opening set, and inspired support on guitar; and a multimedia evening of Irish uilleann pipe music presented by the Great Northern Irish Pipers Club, Piperlink (10/3). Also now on sale, and with a great set of pipes of her own, singer-songwriter Melissa Ferrick makes a welcome return to The Cedar (10/21), as do seasonal favorites Neal and Leandra, returning with their Holiday Show (12/14) (early purchase highly recommended, given that the N&L Holiday Show has been an advance sell out show for the last three years straight!). Last but certainly not least, be sure to get your tickets early for a man in a class of his own when it comes to playing the harp-like West African kora: the great Toumani Diabaté (11/13) in a solo performance in support of his acclaimed release The Mandé Variations (Nonesuch).
Tickets for individual Nordic Roots Festival (9/26--9/28) shows will go on sale at noon Fri Aug 8, not Aug 1 as previously announced. Nordic Roots Festival passes are now available for only $99, and provide entrance AND preferred seating for all Festival concerts.
 The Magnetic Fields Ani DiFrancoTickets are on sale now for two very hot Cedar artists performing October shows at the State Theater: Magnetic Fields (10/10) and Ani DiFranco (10/3). Tickets for both shows can be purchased from Ticketmaster outlets, and the State Theatre. Regular Cedar outlets and the Cedar Ticketline will NOT be selling tickets for these two shows.
