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.

SUMMARY:CJ Chenier & The Red Hot Louisiana Band at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Clayton Joseph Chenier is Creole music royalty. His father\, the legendary Clifton Chenier\, invented the style of music we know today as Zydeco. Moreover\, Clifton is the first Creole musician to be recognized with a Grammy Award. \nRaised in this indigenous American culture with its own distinctive language\, cuisine and music\, C.J. delivers soulful vocals along with jaw-dropping masterful accordion-driven rock\, Zydeco and blues. \nC.J. spent his childhood in the tough tenement housing projects of Port Arthur\, Texas. C.J. joined his father’s band on his twenty-first birthday. His first gig was playing for the opening of the now world-renowned Antone’s in Austin\, Texas. \nOn the road\, his father showed him how to front a world class touring band. He taught C.J. how to run the family business and how to develop his lifelong passion for music into a career. When Clifton died in 1987 his son\, C.J.\, adopted the Red Hot Louisiana Band. Moreover\, he recorded his debut album for the great American independent label Arhoolie Records. \nC.J. has also played with John Mayall\, The Gin Blossoms\, Ray Parker\, Jr.\, Joe Sample\, Jimmie Vaughan\, Sonny Landreth and Buckwheat Zydeco. Also\, The Jon Stewart Show and CNN have featured him. Additionally\, he has performed at numerous music festivals around the world. Further\, he is a consistent crowd pleaser for The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. \nAttending a C.J. Chenier show is a transformative experience. You may come in tired and beat up just from living in this world – but you will leave renewed and happy.  And that is the promise C.J. makes. “You can’t come to my show and stay unhappy. You’re going to break a smile before too long. This is happy music.”

SUMMARY:Meshell Ndegeocello at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Meshell Ndegeocello has survived the best and the worst of what a career in music has to offer. She eschewed genre for originality\, celebrity for longevity\, and musical trends for musical truths. Fans have come to expect the unexpected and follow her journey. Then\, she delves into soul\, R&B\, jazz\, hip-hop\, rock\, all bound by the search for love\, justice\, respect and resolution. Thus\, these sonic investigations have defied and redefined expectations for women\, for queer artists\, and for black music for over thirty years. Additionally\, she remains one of few women who write the music\, sing the songs\, and lead the band. \nA bass player above all else\, Meshell brings her warm\, fat\, and melodic groove to everything she does. She has earned a Grammy award among numerous nominations. Moreover\, she has played alongside the Rolling Stones\, Madonna\, Alanis Morrisette\, James Blood Ulmer\, and The Blind Boys of Alabama. Also\, Tony Allen\, John Medeski\, Billy Preston\, and Chaka Khan. As for her own bass-playing influences\, she credits Sting\, Jaco Pastorius\, Family Man Barrett\, and Stevie Wonder. Meshell is always grateful to share the stage and believes music is a fellowship. Here\, she looks to spread that gospel with every creation and collaboration.  \nNdegeocello says that she tries to create music that musicians enjoy playing. “I really love the musical interaction – the playing off of each other\,” she says. “It’s such a divine experience. Playing music is one of the few spaces where I feel genderless and raceless. And when the audience can dance\, move\, and experience transcendence while we are playing live\, it feels like I have purpose.”

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Chris Graham brings an intimate guitar trio to Jazz Central Studios featuring bassist Calvin Caron and drummer Adam Nussbaum. This group will deliver an evening of creativity\, interplay and groove – rooted firmly in the jazz tradition. \nA native of the Twin Cities\, Graham first entered the local jazz scene as a young standout while still in high school\, learning directly from many of the community’s legends and elders.

Immersed in the vibrant NYC jazz world\, he had the privilege of studying and performing with master musicians such as Reggie Workman\, Chico Hamilton\, Vic Juris\, Lage Lund\, Ben Monder\, Tyshawn Sorey\, and many others. \nAfter several years in New York\, Graham returned home to the Twin Cities and shifted his focus for a time toward steel-string acoustic guitar. During this period\, he joined forces with local singer/songwriter Lucy Michelle and helped form The Velvet Lapelles\, a group that enjoyed a successful run throughout the early 2010s. Around 2017\, he re-entered the jazz scene and has since collaborated with many of the region’s finest musicians\, including Javier Santiago\, Aaron Hedenstrom\, Ted Olsen\, Miguel Hurtado\, Dan Carpel\, Pete James Johnson\, and more. \nFeaturing: \nChris Graham – guitar \nCalvin Caron – bass \n Adam Nussbaum – drums

SUMMARY:Yohannes Tona & Kenni Holmen at Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Kenni Holmen and Yohannes Tona\, bandmates in Cory Wong’s touring group\, will headline an incredible weekend of music on Feb. 6-7 at Berlin. Alongside their monster band\, they’ll apply their unique\, high-energy\, funky jazz style to songs you know and their own originals. Expect fun stories and unexpected musical twists! \nBand Members:\nYohannes Tona – Bass/Compositions\nKenni Holmen – Saxophone/Compositions\nSteven Hobert – Keys\nSteve Jennings – Drums\nGeoff LeCrone – Guitar \n⊹ \nYohannes Tona was born in Awassa\, a vibrant city in southern Ethiopia where he taught himself how to play the guitar by watching his parents’ choir rehearsals. After gaining national recognition in the Ethiopian church scene\, he moved to the capital\, Addis\, to pursue musical education at Yared Music School. This was followed by a scholarship to his dream school\, Berklee College of Music in Boston. He spent nearly two productive years at Berklee before landing the role of music director at an Ethiopian Evangelical church in St. Paul\, where he would settle and start a family. \nSince the early 2000s\, Tona has built himself a name as a band leader and a sideman\, performing along some legendary Minneapolis artists and international musicians. Such names include Cory Wong\, Dr. Mambo’s Combo\, Nachito Herrera\, Jef Lee Johnson\, The Sounds of Blackness\, and The Steeles. While grateful for the incredible experience of playing big stages with such great names\, Tona believes he is also responsible for sharing his original music—music that reflects his Ethiopian/African roots and the American experience—with the world. \n⊹ \nKenni Holmen is one of the most active recording and touring musicians from the Twin Cities area. He has performed with Prince\, Cory Wong\, Michael Bolton\, Celine Dion\, Johnny Mathis\, Tony Bennett\, T.C. Monk\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Doc Severinsen\, the Minnesota Orchestra\, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra\, just to name a few. Holmen has recorded with Janet Jackson\, Rod Stewart\, Prince\, Gladys Knight\, Chaka Khan\, Cory Wong\, The Fearless Flyers\, Ben Sidran\, Babyface\, Mandy Moore\, and more. He has toured throughout the world since 1992.
