Music
Concert notes, set lists and personal impressions fill this category. From the dreamy Americana of Lord Huron to Coldplay’s stadium spectacle and intimate performances at the Dakota jazz club, I share what moved me in the moment.
The Pretenders opening up for the Foo Fighters at Target Field. 🎶
We saw The New Standards play tonight outside on the rooftop of the Hewing tonight. They did a good performance as always but while the venue had promise the execution was difficult. There seemed to be more people there than the space could really handle or the bar could serve.
We were out with friends to see Martin Zellar at the Parkway Theater tonight. He performed his Neil Diamond show — covering an entire array of Diamond songs. It was a fun night! 🎶
We saw Jax Hollow at The Dakota for the first time tonight. Talented musician and performer. I think she is just getting started. 🎶
Tammy and I had a great night seeing Words & Music by Dan Wilson at the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis. He was joined my John Munson for a few Semisonic songs. The rest of the night he shared stories of various writing sessions and sang the songs that came from them. Laamar opened the night. It was great. 🎶
While having dinner at Rapids Brewing we got to hear the beginning of Grant Glad’s set and I liked what he was playing a lot. 🎶
Tina Schlieske put on an amazing show at The Dakota tonight in celebration of her 57th birthday. We had front row seats and the energy and emotion was incredible. 🎶
Seeing Laamar & Lanue at the Dakota tonight. A collaboration between Geoffrey Lamar Wilson and Lanue. Never heard them before but am enjoying it. 🎶
Driving through Springfield, MO and into the Ozarks so have to listen to Big Smith (Apple Music). Great Bluegrass music! 🎶
