Mavis Staples Guthrie Theater |
Mon., February 2, 7:30pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
The powerful, gospel-drenched voice of Mavis Staples conjures up an encyclopedic array of gritty howls, soulful moans, striking melismas, urgent whispers, and fervent cries that originate in the depths of her soul. They're also fueled by a lifetime of singing songs that have provided hope and... More >>

Romantica Fine Line Music Cafe |
Sat., December 6, 8:00pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
In this economic climate, it's an especially fine testament to a band's appreciation for its fans that it puts on a free show, or, scratch that, free shows. Romantica doesn't need to have free shows. People will and do pay to see them. Yet for the second time in recent memory the local lovelies... More >>

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Pantages Theatre |
Tue., December 2, 7:30pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
A human dynamo who at age 50 has more electrifying energy than entire—hell, multiple—bands a fraction her age, Sharon Jones may not have Tina Turner's legs, as she says, but she's sure got the voice, the spirit, and the moves. Only in the last few years has Jones, after hooking up... More >>

Cheetah Nunchuck Downtime Bar |
Every week Thursday, 10:00pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
Imagine the Seven Samurai, except instead of being assembled to protect an impoverished village from a band of crazed, bloodthirsty raiders, they're put together to provide the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul with old-school turn-of-the-'70s funk a'la the Meters and the J.B.'s. That's Cheetah... More >>

III Kings Sound System Nomad World Pub |
Every week Wednesday, 8:00pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
Anyone can throw on a red-green-and-gold ensemble, guzzle Red Stripe after Red Stripe and natter on about how they had a real deep experience getting zooted to a midnight showing of The Harder They Come, but to actually make your way as a Selector, well, that's another thing entirely. For over... More >>

Lucero; the Evening Rig Triple Rock Social Club |
Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., December 5 until Sat., December 6, 9:00pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |

This might be an affront, but there is something very Goo Goo Dolls about the Memphis band Lucero, which is playing two nights this weekend in celebration of the Triple Rock's 10th anniversary. Now, look, there's nothing wrong with that. Remember that song "Iris"? Maybe not, but you definitely... More >>

Too Much Love First Avenue |
Every week Saturday, 10:00pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
Few people know more about dance music and its history in Minneapolis than Dory Kahale, who has more aliases than Cybil if she were a chat-room perv.

Transmission Clubhouse Jager |
Every week Wednesday, 10:00pm |
Minneapolis (Downtown) |
|
The hundred-year-old space at 923 Washington Avenue North cleans up real nice.
