SUMMARY:Open Story (Dean Magraw\, Bryan Nichols\, Jay Epstein)
DESCRIPTION:Open Story was launched in 2016\, bringing together three local veterans who somehow had never played together before. It’s not as if Dean Magraw\, Bryan Nichols or Jay Epstein has extra time to start a new band\, keeping busy with numerous projects in leading\, collaborative and supporting roles. Yet they found time to come together as Open Story. Each of these musicians is already fully booked in the Twin Cities area: Magraw with Red Planet & BluLuna\, and duos with Eric Gravatt\, Butch Thompson & Bruce Henry; Nichols with Mancrush\, and Zacc Harris Quartet; Epstein with Red Planet\, BluLuna\, Framework\, Firebell and Tall Tales. As Open Story\, Dean Magraw\, Bryan Nichols and Jay Epstein prove to be as effective as collaborators as they are talented as solo performers\, bandleaders\, and sidemen. – Andrea Canter\, JazzPolice.com

SUMMARY:Cyrille Aimée at Dakota Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:Cyrille Aimée grew up in a multilingual household full of music where she danced every day. There\, her soundtrack featured the Afro-Caribbean sounds from her mother’s native Dominican Republic. The family home was in Samois-sur-Seine\, the location of the Django Reinhardt Festival. Often\, the teenage Cyrille would climb out of her bedroom window at night to mingle with the players. Thus\, this ignited a passion for jazz. \nMoving to New York City\, her talents quickly earned her a reputation among her peers as a matchless song interpreter. She worked with Roy Hargrove and stole the show in front of the notoriously hard-to-please crowd at the Harlem Apollo. Steven Sondheim invited her to star in a tribute at New York’s City Centre\, backed by Wynton Marsalis. Her 2019 album Move On featured versions of Sondheim’s songs which received praise from Sondheim himself. Additionally\, she earned a 2019 Grammy nomination for her version of “Marry Me a Little”. \nAt the height of her New York success\, new horizons beckoned. Visiting New Orleans\, she fell in love with the energy and diversity of the city and made it her home. Then\, she teamed up with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jake Sherman\, and together they created her latest album\, 2024’s A Fleur de Peau. \nThe album combines the depth and sophistication of jazz\, the immediacy of pop\, and the irrepressible dance rhythms of the Caribbean. Furthermore\, it’s more intimate and more accessible than anything Cyrille has done before.

SUMMARY:LAMP feat. Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski at Icehouse
DESCRIPTION:6pm Doors / 8pm Showtime \nFull food and beverage available for this show \n$22 Adv (+fees/taxes) $30 Doors (+fees/taxes) 21+ \nLAMP feat. Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski Interstate jammers LaMP — featuring Vermont-based Russ Lawton (drums) and Ray Paczkowski (keys)\, alongside Brooklynite Scott Metzger (guitar) — distill singular\, road-honed improv instincts into taut\, instrumental epics. While each of the players has extensive experience with other gigs — Lawton and Paczkowski with the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) and Soule Monde\, and Metzger through projects such as Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (JRAD) and Medeski\, Martin\, Metzger & Cline (MMMC) — LaMP has hewed its own path. The trio is currently touring behind their second studio collection\, One Of Us\, that packs 10 tracks into 35-minutes of kaleidoscopic interplay and club-shifting grooves. It’s the cleanest distillation of the LaMP sound yet\, a mission statement of improvisational group-think and compositional chops. Throughout its runtime\, One Of Us acts as a showcase for the myriad of sonic flavors LaMP brings to the table\, delivering a listen which works both as deep headphone immersion or a packable-party custom-tailored to deliver the jams to upcoming 2025 tour hangs. As word has spread and crowds have grown with each subsequent tour\, it’s become clear that LaMP ft. Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY:Laurels String Quartet (feat. Aby Wolf & Eric Mayson) at Berlin
DESCRIPTION:A vital force in the Minneapolis music scene with reach far beyond it\, the Laurels String Quartet has supported stars including Father John Misty\, Semisonic\, and Ondara but have never stepped out as headliners themselves. This March\, that changes! The Laurels will host a five-week residency at Berlin\, joined by a rotating cast of exceptional artists from their creative orbit. \nThis evening\, Laurels String Quartet and Aby Wolf will further develop their electric collaboration of voice and strings. The quartet will also be joined by multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter\, and producer Eric Mayson in a genre-bending performance that blurs the lines between indie and chamber music. \nDoors for the first set will open at 5:30 p.m.\, while doors for the second set will open at 7:45 p.m. \nLaurels String Quartet:\nJosh Misner – Violin\nLaura Harada – Violin\nErica Burton – Viola\nJacqueline Ultan – Cello \n⊹ \nAfter a chance meeting over a decade ago\, the Laurels String Quartet quickly became a staple of the Minneapolis music scene. Their collective instinct for tuning into the emotional frequency of a song has amassed the group collaborators near and far. Artists such as Belle & Sebastian\, Father John Misty\, Lucius\, jeremy messersmith\, Macklemore\, Dan Wilson\, Jason Mraz\, Rogue Valley\, Motion City Soundtrack\, the New Standards\, and Ondara have sought their company on stage and in the studio. The quartet has appeared on Late Night with David Letterman\, PBS\, The Current\, and NPR and has performed on stages across the country\, from the celebrated outdoor festival Rock The Garden at the Walker Art Center to the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn\, NY. \nAby Wolf grew up in the Driftless Region of northwestern Illinois\, honing her ear for harmonies by singing while her mother practiced Erik Satie piano songs. At the age of 19\, Wolf moved to Minneapolis and began collaborating with musicians across a spectrum of hip-hop\, neo-soul\, weirdo electronic improv\, rock\, jazz\, and classical crossover. Whether she is writing vocal arrangements; fulfilling commissions; or performing in clubs\, theaters\, and schools everywhere from Brainerd to Bratislava to Beijing\, she brings an elastic skillset and a palpable element of joy to whatever endeavor she pursues. A lifelong learner with an ever-expanding curiosity\, Wolf has a sound distinguished not by typical markers of genre or instrumentation\, but by her impressive range of expression and experimentation. \nComposer\, collaborator\, and multi-instrumentalist Eric Mayson has an insatiable curiosity that pulls him in many directions. He works with theaters\, dance companies\, bands\, and orchestras\, and he loves playing Dungeons & Dragons and reading history. In 2019\, he began training in aviation\, and he is currently working as a flight instructor at Mankato Regional Airport.

SUMMARY:The New Standards at Crooners Supper Club
DESCRIPTION:Jazz\, Tradition\, Cabaret\nMinnesota stalwarts The New Standards create an intriguing blend of everything from classic cabaret to punk rock\, from the freedom of jazz\, to the soul of pop and rock. They make it work through offbeat humor and sheer musicianship. The instrumentation is simple: John Munson of Trip Shakespeare/Semisonic fame on bass; Chan Poling\, founder of the new-wave group The Suburbs on piano; and Steve Roehm on vibes. Chan and John split the singing. A footstomp here\, a shout-out there\, a fiery solo\, and it’s cooked. Simple\, elegant\, illuminating. \nChan Poling: Piano\, Vocals \nJohn Munson: Bass\, Vocals \nSteve Roehm: Vibraphone \nThe New Standards is a “revelatory” (StarTribune) Twin-Cities-based trio with a global following. Formed in 2005 as an off-shoot project between three Minneapolis-based musicians and friends\, The New Standards has grown into a globe-spanning adventure — filling theaters and clubs and spawning several CDs\, videos\, cartoons\, and dance and theater projects that have charmed and delighted an ever-multiplying legion of faithful fans.

SUMMARY:Amanda Pascali at the Cedar Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:As the rising voice of America’s most ethnically diverse generation of young people\, singer-songwriter Amanda Pascali writes music that speaks to the experience of growing up as a first-generation American. Blending folk/American influences with Mediterranean\, Balkan\, and Latin rhythms\, Pascali’s songs are powerful tales of America told through the eyes of immigrants and those who have always felt like the “other.” \nAmanda Pascali embodies the complexity of modern identity. Born to a mother from Cairo who grew up in France and an Italian father raised in Romania\, she’s a mixed-race\, bilingual Gen Z troubadour perpetually caught between worlds. Quoting poet Ijeoma Umebinyuo\, she says\, “I’m often ‘too foreign for here\, too foreign for home\, and never enough for both.’” Rather than lamenting this displacement\, Pascali has transformed it into her artistic superpower.
