SUMMARY:Sunset Series Free Summer Music in Downtown Park: Tae and the Neighborly
DESCRIPTION:From local favorites to emerging new talent\, the Sunset Series is a showcase for great talent from all genres. \nJoin us Thursday evenings\, mid-June though mid-August at 7pm in Downtown Park\, 40 Ninth Avenue S\, Hopkins. Bring a chair and some friends! \nIf there’s rain\, we’ll announce we’re moving indoors by 3pm day of concert. \nTae & The Neighborly\, a Wisconsin based Soul-pop R&B group\, found themselves playing music together in a very unconventional way. They were all neighbors\, each one living alone on one floor of a five-story flat. Cake baking is a shared passion of the five member group\, but in the sugar shortages early in the 2020 pandemic\, they found themselves so continually knocking on each other’s doors asking for a single cup of sugar that a group decision was made to all move in together and share cake-baking resources. And since everyone knows all good rhythms begin in the kitchen\, it wasn’t before long that the group began to write and perform together  across the nation. Critics hail the group as “having more kick than a bagged-up mule” (Rotary Times)  and their live show “…going down smoother than a can of [beans] warmed on the campfire” (Cowboy Gazette). All in all\, if you are looking for a dense show that will give you more inspiration fuel for self lovin’\, world changin’\, and consideration havin’ meet them where the music is made to be shared.
