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.
