SUMMARY:Kandace Springs at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Pianist and singer Kandace Springs is one of the premier female artists of the jazz/soul genre. Her natural gifts for lyricism and soulfulness have earned her recognition worldwide. Further\, her late mentor Prince described her as having “a voice that could melt snow”.  \nThe Nashville native has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments. Here\, she has made several national TV appearances\, and headlines major jazz festivals. Moreover\, she has collaborated with such luminaries as Christian McBride\, Roy Hargrove\, David Sanborn and Norah Jones. The Washington Post exclaims\, “Kandace Springs’s voice is undeniable. It’s one of those generational voices; from the first note\, you know it’s special.”  \nShe embodies the same spirit and soul of the great vocalists of the past on whose shoulders she stands. She simultaneously draws on jazz legends Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae and multi-genre masters like Nina Simone and Roberta Flack. To that end\, Springs recently released an orchestral reimagining of Billie Holiday’s Lady in Satin. Kandace looks forward to releasing a new album in Spring 2026 and hitting the road backed by her ace all-female rhythm section.  \nKandace’s 2024 release\, Run Your Race\, was a tribute to her late father\, legendary Nashville soul singer Scat Springs. Here\, it is the first album of hers to feature almost all original songs. Every song was written by Kandace both solo and with some stellar collaborators. Prior to that in 2020\, Kandace released The Women Who Raised Me. There\, the album garnered five-star reviews from DownBeat and The New Yorker. Additionally\, it won the Deutscher JazzPreis for best vocal album of the year.

SUMMARY:Dance Your Brass Off ⏤ Mardi Gras Celebration ft. Brass Messengers\, McNasty Brass Band\, and BrassZilla at Turf Club
DESCRIPTION:This show is taking place in both the Turf Club and Clown Lounge. Be sure to check out the Mardi Gras celebrations and bands playing on BOTH stages! And sponsored by Jazz88! \nThe Brass Messengers are a Minneapolis street band playing mostly original music inspired by global sources. The BMs formed from the annual rubble of the Heart of the Beast Mayday Parade and Ceremony in Minneapolis.  The musical origins were found in the music of Africa\, the Carribean and Balkans\, but now the BMs play whatever works\, throwing in a country song to the crying drinkers\, a high speed polka or two for the midwest dancers\, running in circles with the little ones\, activating gatherings of our activist kin or a bit of Black Sabbath for the metal crowd. But mostly\, it is original music that rises from the heart of the band that can only be described as a homegrown Minneapolis street music sound. \nBased in the Twin Cities\, MN\, McNasty Brass Band brings the Minneapolis sound to new territory by combining the spirit of New Orleans with elements of Prince\, old school funk\, and a splash of R&B. Since their debut EP release Southside Fridays in early 2015\, the McNasty Brass Band has been continuously writing music to push the limit of what a fully acoustic dance band can do. It’s their raw\, organic brass sound that makes the music so infectious. A reckless\, ten-piece megazord of horns and drums\, McNasty Brass Band can blow the walls off a house party\, march down the streets of a parade\, or own the stage with the confidence of a well-oiled groove machine. \nWhether it’s happening in a theater\, in a roadhouse\, or by the side of the road\, BrassZilla will deliver its hip-shakin’ beer jazz. Something that’s a little chilly and a little hot and makes the head start to move with a certain kind of groove. Something that everyone needs. BrassZilla was founded in 2011 as a way for three horn players to explore their love of jazz\, funk\, blues\, and other genres while touring with the Minneapolis rock band Chooglin’. That exploration led to the addition of drummer Andy Deckard and produced original compositions that defy typical notions of genre or style.

SUMMARY:FAT TUESDAY with Jack Brass Band and Up North Rollers Brass Band at Icehouse
DESCRIPTION:6PM DOORS 7PM SHOW \nFood and beverage menu available the entire show \n$18 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $25 AT THE DOOR (+taxes) \nCelebrate Mardi Gras with “Feel-Good Music” from the Jack Brass Band\, as Wynton Marsalis once said\, “If you like your gumbo spicy\, and your music hot\, check out the Jack Brass Band. The Jack Brass Band was formed in 1999 in the Twin Cities. Based on the traditions of New Orleans’ brass bands\, they are the ambassadors to the Crescent City’s rich musical history. The band plays “Feel-Good Music” for audiences of any age\, for any occasion. The band has the ability and repertoire to play everything from old New Orleans jazz from Louis Armstrong’s era\, to the modern street Mardi-Gras anthems with the instrumentation\, feel\, and energy they have mastered through countless gigs\, parades\, festival appearances\, and trips to New Orleans to listen\, learn\, and play alongside the masters. Simply put\, the Jack Brass Band brings the party to any event with a rich tradition and a groove that will make you want to get up and dance to the New Orleans sound. The Up North Rollers Brass Band is a New Orleans-style brass band based out of the Twin Cities. The group was established in 2024 when Ben Collicott\, trombonist and recent transplant to Minnesota\, recruited several fellow Michigan Tech alumni to share his passion for the second line music of New Orleans. The ensemble digs deep into the Crescent City’s brass band culture and strives to be authentic to the modern New Orleans style while also paying dues to the tradition.

SUMMARY:ARKANSAUCE and CHICKEN WIRE EMPIRE at Cedar Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:The Cedar Presents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARKANSAUCE and CHICKEN WIRE EMPIRE\nSunday\, February 15\, 2026/ Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 7:30 PM \nAll Ages \nStanding \n$22 Advance\, $25 Day of Show \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THIS SHOW\nBluegrass & Red Hearts. Celebrate (the day after) Valentine’s with two powerhouses of bluegrass: Arkansauce and Chicken Wire Empire. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARKANSAUCE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkansauce calls forth melodies of the Ozark Mountains’ rolling hills and raging rivers with their distinct blend of newgrass. This progressive string quartet features Tom Andersen on bass\, guitarist Zac Archuleta\, Ethan Bush on mandolin\, and Adams Collins on banjo. Their music features improvisational string leads matched with complex melodies\, intriguing rhythms\, and deep thumping bass grooves. Each member sings lead and harmony parts as well as contributes to the lyrics\, which offer authentic\, intelligent songwriting with hard-hitting hooks. \n\n\n\nCHICKEN WIRE EMPIRE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChicken Wire Empire is a Wisconsin-based bluegrass band known for their dynamic musicality\, thorough arrangements\, and true-to-life songwriting. The band emerged in 2016 with their debut self-titled album and have since released a prolific catalogue of studio projects and live performances. Their sixth and latest album\, Growing Pains\, releases June 1 and is a veritable culmination of the band’s growth through the past decade. \nCWE continuously captivates audiences with thoughtful\, energetic performances. Their high-level musicality turns up a fresh conversation with each show\, like a brainstorm of creative musical substance. Americana Highways writes “These musicians must enjoy what they do because their joy translates through their instruments. The energy\, fingering techniques are all proponents that deliver substance with a modicum of joy. There aren’t any low points\, missteps\, loss of heat in any of these melodies.” \nThe band has been recognized worldwide for their performances and recorded works\, with Americana UK calling their latest album “a variety which transcends genre and rewards careful listening.” Capturing the ever-evolving sights and sounds of the road through the lens of their Midwestern roots\, the band’s catalog of songs is ever-growing and CWE continues to be acknowledged for their pensive attention to detail in writing and crafting deeply engaging songs. \nChicken Wire Empire has partnered with dozens of artists from all corners of the bluegrass genre\, from Sam Bush and Peter Rowan to Vince Herman and Keller Williams. Their forthcoming album features guest appearances from Grammy-winning artists Jerry Douglas and Kyle Tuttle. The long list of collaborators has lent a lifetime of taste and knowledge to CWE’s musical journey while the band has grown into its identifiably authentic yet original sound.​

SUMMARY:Valentine's Day/ Mike Lewis & Barbara Jean at Berlin
DESCRIPTION:This Valentine’s Day\, sweethearts Mike Lewis (Happy Apple) and Barbara Jean (Dusty Heart) will perform tender tunes on guitar\, saxophone\, banjo\, fiddle\, and voice. Seated tickets include a selection of savory and sweet snacks; additional a la carte dinner & beverage menus will be available. \n⊹ \nMike Lewis is regarded throughout the Twin Cities and well beyond as one of the most creative sax players in modern music\, lending his blowing and bowing skills to a number of highly regarded ensembles\, including Bon Iver\, Happy Apple\, Andrew Bird\, and Gayngs. \nBarbara Jean grew up immersed in a world of music and sound\, honing her early gift for the violin\, and a musical legacy passed from grandmother to mother to daughter\, into a sharp eye for songwriting and a skilled hand as a multi-instrumentalist. Calling the rugged grandeur of Lake Superior’s North Shore home for the last several years\, she has developed her craft through constant live performance and has struck out on her own to take her debut record\, The Great Escape\, to fans all across the Midwest. Classically trained on the viola at the University of Minnesota\, and self-taught at the banjo\, her voice and songs transcend tradition with a mix of Americana\, Appalachia\, and an insightful vulnerability in lyric and delivery.

SUMMARY:Valentine's Day with Sophia Shorai & Tommy Barbella at Dakota Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:Sophia Shorai is a vocalist driven by an intuitive hunger for the “great song.” As a mainstay of Minneapolis music since 2010\, she possesses the rare\, chameleonic ability to inhabit any genre. Here\, she handles the complex architecture of the Great American Songbook with ease. Equally\, she evokes the raw grit of soul\, funk\, and R&B. \nHer precision was forged early. There\, she mimicked jazz legends from her father’s record collection and began classical training at age five. Shorai bypassed prestigious conservatories to dive straight into the Twin Cities’ live and commercial recording circuits. There\, she turned her voice into a versatile powerhouse. She has contributed to international films\, TV shows\, and major advertising campaigns since the late 1990s. \nWhile renowned for her mastery of the jazz idiom\, Shorai currently explores the lean\, emotive landscapes of contemporary soul and pop. Collaborating with producer Bryan Hanna\, she strips away the decorative to focus on the bone-deep impact of her original songwriting. Her new album\, TIME\, arrives in Spring 2026—a testament to a career spent proving she can sing anything\, and a soul that won’t settle for anything less than a classic. \nTommy Barbarella is one of the most active keyboard players in Minneapolis and beyond. His work with Prince’s New Power Generation (1991-96) put him on the map\, and his playing with regional funk/soul favorites Greazy Meal cemented his reputation as a go-to funk and pop keyboardist. Recently he has performed with Miley Cyrus\, Nick Jonas\, and a reunited NPG. \n“Sophia has everything a singer could want: soul\, versatility… a unique style\, and visceral love of music and performance. Whether she’s belting or crooning\, she breaks hearts.” Adam Levy\, guitarist\, singer/songwriter for The Honeydogs.
