Music
We were out with friends to see Martin Zellar at the Parkway Theater tonight. He performed his Neil Diamond show β covering an entire array of Diamond songs. It was a fun night! πΆ
We saw Jax Hollow at The Dakota for the first time tonight. Talented musician and performer. I think she is just getting started. πΆ
Tammy and I had a great night seeing Words & Music by Dan Wilson at the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis. He was joined my John Munson for a few Semisonic songs. The rest of the night he shared stories of various writing sessions and sang the songs that came from them. It was great. πΆ
While having dinner at Rapids Brewing we got to hear the beginning of Grant Glad’s set and I liked what he was playing a lot. πΆ
Tina Schlieske put on an amazing show at The Dakota tonight in celebration of her 57th birthday. We had front row seats and the energy and emotion was incredible. πΆ
Seeing Laamar & Lanue at the Dakota tonight. A collaboration between Geoffrey Lamar Wilson and Lanue. Never heard them before but am enjoying it. πΆ
Driving through Springfield, MO and into the Ozarks so have to listen to Big Smith (Apple Music). Great Bluegrass music! πΆ
It was our families first time seeing Pink, but it was my Sister Alona and Craigβs fourth time. The show was amazing. So much energy, and the acrobatics were incredible. Such a range too with quiet moments and huge ones. An amazing night! πΆ
Our 13th time seeing Brandi Carlile, this time opening up for Pink. Fabulous show as always! πΆ
Tammy and I checked out Dinner Jazz with Jeremy Ylvisaker and Martin Dosh at Icehouse Minneapolis tonight. πΆ
Got to see a living legend tonight β Willie Nelson & Family headlining the Outlaw Music Festival 2023 in Somerset Amphitheater. At 90 he still can bring it. What an amazing musician. πΆ
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss at the Outlaw Music Festival 2023. Great stuff. πΆ
Trampled By Turtles on stage at the Outlaw Music Festival 2023 at Somerset Amphitheater. πΆ
At the Hook and Ladder with friends for Summer Breeze Yacht Rock Fest featuring The Lonesome Losers. πΆ
Created a new list: List of Brandi Carlile Shows. Suspect Iβm missing some but this was a quick assembly of the ones I have blog posts for. πΆ
Brandi Carlile closed out Mothership Weekend tonight with an epic set. After covering many of the recent top songs on Friday night, tonight they went deep in the catalog with tons of great songs. She also brought tons of guest musicians on the stage with her. This was the kind of performance you cannot see anywhere other than a big multi-day festival like this. Wow! πΆ
After a lightning delay with evacuation and an impromptu dinner at Mezcal (yum!) we returned to the festival to see an abbreviated performance from Emmylou Harris which was great. πΆ
We didnβt get to see much of Fancy Hagood. We arrived after they started and then lightning came through and they had to stop and have everyone leave the festival for a bit. What we heard was great though! πΆ
Hozier with a great set to close out Saturday night at Mothership Weekend. First time seeing them live and thought it was very good. πΆ
Brandi Carlile took the stage to close out Friday night at Mothership Weekend. It was a great show with a full 2-hour set covering songs from a wide range of their catalog.
