SUMMARY:Carnival of the Animals & A Trip to the Moon | A Film and Music Even
DESCRIPTION:Do you like film and video game music? Do you like animals?

SUMMARY:Tommy Castro & The Painkillers at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Multiple award-winning guitarist\, vocalist\, and bandleader Tommy Castro is a California-based blues and rock powerhouse. Here\, he captivates audiences with his soul-drenched vocals\, searing guitar work\, and high-energy live shows. Furthermore\, as frontman of the telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers\, he’s released seventeen albums. Here\, they span a wide stylistic range—from horn-driven R&B and hot-blooded soul to gritty\, stripped-down rock and electric blues. \nWith his latest release\, 2025’s Closer To The Bone\, Castro returns to his roots. He delivers what he calls “a real blues record\, the way they would have made them back in the day.” Thus\, the album becomes Castro’s rawest and most direct blues effort to date.  \nEarly on\, Castro was inspired by icons like Elvin Bishop\, Taj Mahal\, and Mike Bloomfield. Then\, he absorbed everything from Ike & Tina Turner to John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy. There\, he developed a uniquely uplifting and soulful style rooted in blues\, R&B\, and funk. Castro formed the first Tommy Castro Band in 1992. \nCastro is one of the most decorated artists in contemporary blues\, winning ten Blues Music Awards. Furthermore\, these include four B.B. King Entertainer of the Year honors—the genre’s highest accolade. Here\, his no-frills\, 150-shows-a-year approach has earned him a fiercely loyal fanbase and praise from legends like Joe Bonamassa\, who says\, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.” \nWith Closer To The Bone\, Tommy Castro strips it all back to deliver an album brimming with grit\, fire\, and authenticity. “This is the deeper blues side of me\,” says Castro. “With these songs\, I am at my most authentic.”

SUMMARY:Isaiah Collier: Collier Plays Coltrane at Dakota Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:One of today’s most exciting saxophonists celebrates John Coltrane’s centennial! \nIsaiah Collier is a musical virtuoso in the truest sense of the phrase. He began playing saxophone at age eleven\, and his intuitive proficiency earned him attention early on. Ever since\, his band Isaiah Collier and The Chosen Few has been turning ears. \nIn 2025 he was featured on NPR’s “Jazz Night in America”\, and graced the cover of Downbeat Magazine. Additionally\, Chicago Tribune named him 2024’s Jazz Artist of the Year. New York Times selected his album The Almighty as one of the Top Ten Jazz Recordings of 2024. Furthermore\, The New York Times 2024 Fall Arts Preview featured him. Downbeat selected him as one of twenty-five for the future in 2024’s Ninetieth Anniversary issue. Also\, he won the Rising Star Award in Downbeat Magazine’s critics poll for tenor saxophone (2023)\, and soprano saxophone (2024). Then\, he was named a Steve Jobs Fellow. \nThere’s a regal\, elegant manner to Isaiah’s stage presence: he’s over 6 feet tall\, thin\, deep brown\, with high cheekbones. When not playing\, he is patiently waiting. Not contemplating his next move\, but listening to the musicians who accompany him\, listening to their stories. Here\, he explains that he’s never really hearing himself\, he’s hearing others play: some people have fire\, others have air. \nIsaiah Coller’s sound is a dynamic flurry of metaphors\, yet he can hold back when necessary. Thus\, he plays his influences\, which he describes as a “sonic time machine; you can’t really put a time or destination on it.” As far as he where he plans to take his music\, Collier says\, “I reach backwards\, and forwards simultaneously when creating art and what is ahead of me is the past.”

SUMMARY:Puuluup with Ponyfolk at Hopkins Center for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:“Puuluup are true originals with a cult following. They are doing something pretty unusual\, pushing obscure folk material towards the mainstream with a whole lot of panache.”  – SONGLINES  \nPuuluup was formed in 2014 by two talharpa enthusiasts Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson. Ramo Teder is a multi-instrumentalist and has been known for his long solo project Pastacas. He is also a looping pioneer in Estonia and has mastered these skills for twenty years already. Marko Veisson has a background in anthropology and his fieldwork in Northern Ghana as well as his love for West-African music have influenced Puuluup’s style. \nThey play their own compositions on talharpas – traditional bowed lyres\, popular in Northern Europe since the early Middle Ages and played on Western Estonian islands until the beginning of 20th century. Puuluup directs the vibrations of the talharpas’ horsehair strings through effect blocks and looper\, using alternative bowing and drumming techniques and sounds. The mellow sighs of the talharpa are paired with electronically amplified echoes\, knocks\, creaks and crackles\, while still maintaining the instrument’s natural sound. \nPonyfolk is the collaborative project of multi-instrumentalists Clifton Nesseth and Paul Sauey. Weaving together interests in folk\, rock\, jazz and orchestral music\, the duo is known for intricate arrangements\, vocal harmonies and layers of strings and keyboards. Formed as a duo in 2014\, Ponyfolk performs in a variety of configurations\, deftly transitioning between a traditional Nordic group and a folk-rock band depending on the occasion. In 2025\, Ponyfolk released their debut traditional album “the woods have shown us”\, which held the #2 spot on the Folk DJ-L chart in July. In early 2026\, they will be releasing their sophomore record.

SUMMARY:Della Mae at The Cedar Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:Della Mae is a GRAMMY-nominated all-woman string band playing bluegrass\, Americana\, and folk music steeped in rich harmonies and soul-stirring melodies. \nAs a majority queer\, fiercely feminist five-piece acoustic outfit\, [Della Mae] sing fearlessly on topics that might rile the genre’s traditionally conservative audiences. Recent albums have covered everything from domestic violence and fertility issues to the separation of families at the US border with Mexico. They also play barnstorming numbers about motorbikes and bourbon. – The Guardian\, 2022.
