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.

SUMMARY:Los Lobos at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:It’s a matter of time. Fifty years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work\, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running\, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. \nThey’ve also recorded seventeen studio albums\, seven live LPs\, three compilations\, two EPs\, two DVDs\, and contributed over forty guest appearances on their friends’ recordings. They have garnered five Grammys\, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction and the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award. \nBut beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all\, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather\, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others\, working for peace and justice. Further\, they’ve penned some of the most literate and important music of their time. They transform the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope\, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. \nThe young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul\, R&B\, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues\, jazz\, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos\, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots. \nQuite simply\, they are one of the tightest\, one of the best\, one of the most prolific bands ever. And\, amazingly\, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it\, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo\, Louie Pérez\, Jr.\, Cesar Rosas\, Conrad Lozano\, Steve Berlin.”

SUMMARY:BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet at the Parkway Theater
DESCRIPTION:For the past 50+ years\, GRAMMY Award-winning Cajun legends BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet have been making some of the most potent and popular Cajun music on the planet. \nBorn out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members\, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals\, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz\, blues rock\, folk\, swamp pop\, Zydeco\, country and bluegrass — captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans\, to Carnegie Hall\, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England. \nLaissez les bon temps rouler! \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheir most recent album and the 25th in their fifty-plus-year career\, is titled From Bamako to Carencro\, alluding the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako\, in Mali\, West Africa\, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette\, LA suburb of Carencro)\, a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil’s roots. Since becoming the first Cajun band to win a GRAMMY with L’amour Ou La Folie (their Traditional Folk Album\, released in 1998) and then a second GRAMMY in 2010\, Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, BeauSoleil has garnered many accolades\, including a total of twelve GRAMMY nominations. They are regular guests on Garrison Keillor’s NPR show A Prairie Home Companion\, where Keillor has dubbed them as “the best Cajun band in the world\,” and their music is so integral to the Cajun culture that they have been featured on the critically-acclaimed New Orleans–based HBO series\, Treme. Critics unanimously agree that it is “bon temps\, every time they play\,” (New York Times).
