SUMMARY:The 3 Ms Third Annual Celebration // Minnesota Music Masters: McLaughlin/Monroe/Mayer at the Parkway Theater
DESCRIPTION:A night of exceptional original compositions from three highly-awarded Minnesota artists whose careers span decades\, musical genres\, and across the globe. What can you expect this first Monday in March?  Melody Melody Melody! Featuring Billy McLaughlin\, Michael Monroe\, and Peter Mayer! \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmmy Award-winner and acoustic guitar vanguard\, Billy McLaughlin returns to The Parkway with more new compositions from the far reaches of the solo guitar galaxy. If you don’t know Billy’s music\, or what he’s been through to keep making it\, this show is a must-see. Acoustic guitar that defies gravity. \n“…you might swear Billy McLaughlin is two of the greatest acoustic guitar players you’ve ever heard.”—Pittsburgh Post Gazette \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Monroe\, “MN Acoustic Music Master\,” (Star Tribune) performs original music on vocals\, crystal/bamboo flutes\, and plays Seaton Guitars from the Gunflint Trail\, hand-crafted with 200-year-old wood from the bottom of Lake Superior. \nMonroe’s award-winning instrumental soundtracks have been featured on PBS/CBC and the Toronto Enviro/New York Indie Film Fests in Chased By The Light; and was also awarded an Emmy for Soaring On Mended Wings. \nMonroe returned to the Twin Cities following 28 years on the North Shore of Lake Superior near Grand Marais\, 11 of which were “off the grid” where he recorded his first 12 albums using solar power. He presented Log Cabin Concerts in his cabin for 800 people a year for 17 years\, which were featured on KSTP’s Jason Davis’ OnTheRoad\, and in Lake Superior and Cabin Life Magazines. \n“With heartfelt sincerity and a poetic touch in both the lyrics and music\, Monroe explores subtle\, quiet places that spark the imagination.”—Wintersong CD Review\, City Pages  \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMinnesota’s Peter Mayer has been singing and songwriting full-time for 25 years\, performing in venues across the United States and beyond. He writes songs for a small planet–songs about interconnectedness and the human journey — songs about life on earth and the mysterious and wondrous fact of our existence. He also writes songs about dress hats\, pumpkins and pajamas\, and even love and freight trains just like a good folk musician should. His music has been performed by artists like Kathy Mattea\, David Wilcox\, Claudia Schmidt\, Anne Hills\, Priscilla Herdman\, Darryl Purpose\, Billy Jonas\, and Ronny Cox\, to name a few. His work has been included in song books\, church hymnals\, and folk radio playlists across the country. Peter has eleven albums to his credit\, and has sold over 100\,000 of them. He lives in Stillwater\, Minnesota with his wife and two daughters.

SUMMARY:Al Di Meola at Dakota Jazz Club Night 2
DESCRIPTION:Al Di Meola is one of the top guitarists of our time. Here\, he has enjoyed a celebrated career that has spanned more than four decades. His fascination with complex rhythmic syncopation\, provocative lyrical melodies\, and sophisticated harmony are at the heart of his music. Among his myriad critical accolades are multiple Grammys and Grammy nominations. Additionally\, twelve awards from polls conducted by Guitar Player magazine\, which inducted Di Meola into its Gallery of Greats. \nA bona fide guitar hero and prolific composer\, Di Meola has created more than thirty albums as a leader. Furthermore\, he has collaborated on about a dozen others. These include fusion supergroup Return to Forever (with Chick Corea\, Stanley Clarke\, and Lenny White). Also\, the celebrated acoustic Guitar Trio (featuring fellow virtuosos John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía). Further\, the Rite of Strings trio (with Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty). Here\, his dazzling technique has made him a hero to fretboard fanatics. However\, the depth of Di Meola’s writing\, along with the soulfulness and inherent lyricism of his expressive playing\, have won him a worldwide fanbase beyond the guitar aficionado set.

SUMMARY:Sarah Morris & Molly Dean at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Morris brings her crystalline voice and award-winning Americana songwriting\, pairing technical precision with emotional depth that lingers. Here\, her stories have been honed from conservatory training to national stages. Molly Dean joins the evening with a genre-blending approach that mixes folk\, indie\, and singer-songwriter influences. Additionally\, Molly will share songs from her latest release Interwoven. Together\, the evening offers engaging\, intimate performances – a night of thoughtful\, well-crafted music and storytelling.  \nMolly Dean is a Minneapolis-based vocalist and multi-instrumentalist known for her versatile\, genre-blending sound. Her music draws from folk\, indie\, and singer-songwriter traditions\, with a focus on clear melodies\, thoughtful lyrics\, and strong musicianship. \nHer latest release\, Interwoven\, explores themes of connection\, personal growth\, and shared experience.

Called “A bright\, clear\, brilliant songwriter” (L’Etoile Magazine)\, Morris wields a keen eye and a captivating voice.

SUMMARY:Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:In Chicago\, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent\, world-renowned Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for over thirty years. There\, the band’s big sound is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets. It’s fueled by Lil’ Ed’s gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues string bending\, along with his rough-edged\, soulful vocals. The Chicago Sun-Times says\, “Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials are the hottest purveyors of bottleneck boogie to come out of Chicago since Hound Dog Taylor.” \nLil’ Ed Williams comes to the blues naturally. His uncle\, slide guitar king and master songwriter J.B. Hutto\, taught him how to feel\, not just play the blues. Nine albums and thousands of performances later\, Lil’ Ed is now universally hailed as a giant of the genre. Additionally\, the band includes bassist (and Ed’s half-brother) James “Pookie” Young\, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton. Also\, they have remained together for over thirty years\, an extraordinary feat for any group. Moreover\, the band fuels Ed’s songs with their rock-solid\, road-tested\, telepathic musicianship. \nThe group took home the Living Blues Award for Best Live Performer in 2011\, 2012 and 2013. They won the prestigious Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year in both 2007 and 2009. The Associated Press says\, “Williams fills Chicago’s biggest shoes with more life and heat than anyone on stage today.” \nTheir infectious energy\, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razor’s edge by their many years together. Lil’ Ed\, Pookie\, Mike and Kelly have seen sports stars and presidents\, musical fads and fashion trends come and go.

SUMMARY:Dean Magraw\, Gary Raynor\, Jay Epstein at the Hat!
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by decades of performing and recording with a cornucopia of heroic Artists\, Dean Magraw’s poetic musical dynamism mines the depths of passionate healing melody stirring up textures of the unusual and the familiar as the music weaves the simple story of how we feel right now.\n“Dean’s guitar playing transcends\, transports and lifts the soul to a higher level as he weaves\, cajoles and entices every note from his instrument. The note\, length of note\, tone of note\, the bending of the note; every colour of the note is explored and delivered with a master’s care and love. Just as important are the silences with which he knits his music… these can only come with being at one with one’s art. Dean Magraw is an incredible world class musician who’s modesty only makes him more appreciated by the listener.” -Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan)\n“Dean Magraw… so liquid\, lyrical and effortless it’s like listening to a dancer.” -Steve Tibbetts\n“Dean Magraw unveils soulful melodic grooves intricately designed to heal the broken dancer\, confuse the boldest mathematician\, and eradicate ennui in our lifetime.” -Nick Lethert \nHome

Opener Mary Hanson Scott will create live compositions with saxophone and electronics\, exploring the interplay between sound\, the body\, the earth\, and the cosmos. \n⊹ \n\n“The five J’s in this multidisciplinary artist’s name represent a central fact of his life and work: He has a stutter.

Sometimes he forgoes voice altogether to make enigmatic\, peaceful instrumental pieces.” – New York magazine \n\n⊹ \nJJJJJerome Ellis is a stuttering\, Afro-Caribbean composer\, poet\, and performer. Through an interdisciplinary practice that focuses on oral storytelling; improvisation; and the interrelations between speech\, silence\, disability\, and religion\, they have collaborated with choreographers\, rappers\, playwrights\, booksellers\, typographers\, podcasters\, toddlers\, and filmmakers.

As a jazz saxophonist\, they have performed with Joseph Daley\, Aaron Scott\, and Shayna Dulberger. Recent sound design/composing credits include Help (The Shed)\, Passage (Soho Repertory Theatre)\, the Radical Craft Design Salon (TED Conferences)\, and LAB RAT by A$AP Rocky (Sotheby’s/YouTube).
