First Avenue presents Wild Child

Magic Tuber Stringband probes the undercurrents of the landscapes around them, their music reflecting time spent living across the Southeast and studying its regional folk traditions and natural histories. 

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is the most gloriously unclassifiable American band in existence. Wendy Eisenberg is a singer-songwriter, improviser, and virtuoso guitarist. From art-rock and noise metal to free improv and freak folk, this night explores sonic fringes. 

Danish musician, composer, and producer ML Buch makes her Minnesota debut at The Cedar this Summer. Layering clean, 7-string guitar tones in open tunings over ethereal digital landscapes, ML Buch creates an immersive sound that references dream pop & shoegaze. 

On the morning of June 16th, fifteen anti-ICE organizers were indicted on federal conspiracy charges in Minnesota. Trump's DOJ has tried to smear these fifteen defendants by alleging that they are the ones who are really putting our community in danger.

We know that ICE and Trump's fascist forces are the ones putting our communities at risk. This concert is a chance to come together to demonstrate our continued solidarity and courage in the face of increasing repression.

The show will feature local heroes as well as artists from the broader community of antifascist musicians. All ticket proceeds go to the legal fund for the MN 15 (donate directly here).

Movie Couple Therapy: Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright dive into a treasure trove of relationship dynamics from this iconic franchise – including the dreaded Bermuda Love Triangle of Elizabeth, Will, and Jack! They'll talk movie scenes, relationship lessons, filmmaking insights, and lots of dad jokes.

Dustin Laurenzi and Matt Gold, key collaborators in the Chicago creative scene and with genre-spanning artists such as Bill Callahan and Makaya McCraven, step forward on Devotional Fade (We Jazz Records) with a major artistic statement, a product of extended improv sessions that capture the duo’s hypnotic interplay. This is the sound of two of Chicago’s most vibrant instrumental voices listening deeply, communing in sound. An incomparable Twin Cities trio of highly sought-after sidemen, Alpha Consumer, opens the night. 

The music of Creekbed Carter Hogan (he/they) is a quiet act of defiance made at the end of your rope. It is the warm feeling of solidarity coursing through your body as you link arms with strangers. It is a hard-won laugh, brittle but brave, in the face of what hurt you the most. It is finding hope where there is none, asking questions when you’re told to stay quiet, demanding a future you believe in, and facing a world hellbent on destruction with community, enthusiasm, and joy.
