SUMMARY:Belfast Cowboys "Musical Mistletoe"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n		RSVP ON FACEBOOK\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nThe Hook and Ladder Theater \n\nDoors 7:00pm :: Music 7:30pm \n\n21+ \n\nGA: $20 Advance  / $25  Day of Show\n\n\n		COVID-19 Policies\n	\n\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nBelfast Cowboys “Musical Mistletoe”\nLove Songs & Hot Dance Numbers From Nine Not-So-Tiny Reindeer\n\n—–\nThe Belfast Cowboys one of Minnesota’s most popular bands\, return with their special annual holiday show. We’ll have a holly jolly time as they help us celebrate the season. The band promises to incorporate rockin’ holiday tunes into their usual wide-array of Van Morrison and other rock songs. No matter if you’ve been naughty or nice\, this party will entertain you and your guests.\n\n \nThe Belfast Cowboys are a nine-piece\, horn-driven band from Minneapolis that specializes in the music of Van Morrison – mixing rock\, blues\, roots and soul sounds. Led by veteran songwriter and guitarist Terry Walsh and powered by a four-piece horn section\, the Cowboys have flourished in the renowned Minnesota music scene\, and have consistently packed houses and wowed crowds since 2002.\n \nTerry Walsh got his start playing in various Twin Cities rock bands and toured as Slim Dunlap’s bass player in 1997\, opening for Son Volt. In 2001 the idea to form a Van Morrison tribute band was formed\, and Terry spent the rest of the year learning Van songs and building an all-star band\, with Joe Loskota on keyboards and Vic Volare running the horn section. The band played their first show at the old 400 Bar on Saint Patrick’s Day 2002.\n \nMany musicians played with the band over the first few years\, and continue to do so today\, but the ‘A’ team was soon established: Dan Kowalke on guitar and backing vocals\, Joe Baumgart (bass)\, Dave Kirby and Dave Haugen (drums\, backing vocals)\, Joe Loskota(keyboards\, backing vocals)\, Paul Gronert (sax)\, Matt Hanzelka (trombone)\, Tim Martin(trumpet)\, Vic Volare (sax\, flute) and Terry Walsh (lead vocals\, guitar\, harmonica\, piano).\n \nThe band has expanded their content over the years to include rock and soul covers along with Terry’s own originals\, which have become fan favorites. Now a beloved staple in Minnesota\, the 9-piece Belfast Cowboys averaged over 120 shows a year before the pandemic. The bar-tested troubadours are known for playing epic sets at their weekly Minneapolis gigs and drawing large crowds to outdoor festivals. Occasionally they’ll venture beyond the Midwest to play Ireland\, Phoenix\, New York’s Times Square\, and once opened for the band Chicago in front of 15\,000 people.\n \n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

SUMMARY:Yuletide Sweater Ball feat Pistol Whippin' Party Penguins' with Brotherhood of Birds\, Feeding Leroy

Special guests Brotherhood Of Birds and Feeding Leroy will be joining in on the festivities. These three talented and highly-acclaimed groups will keep the holiday party jumping throughout the evening.\n \n \nStraight from the great Mill City comes the Pistol Whippin Party Penguins. Don’t let the name fool you! This is not a violent group of flightless aquatic birds looking for a party\, but rather 6 self proclaimed gentlemen\, 2 guitars\, a mandolin\, a bucket of fiddles\, bass\, wheatstick drums\, and a 4 part vocal harmony that will make a grown man cry. As they celebrate the release of a couple new singles\, “Terrified” and “Lone Wolf Blues“\, this group from Minneapolis strives to maintain the original spirit of traditional American music while continuing to play new original music and creative cover songs. The combination of folk\, rock\, blues\, bluegrass\, and the occasional stage banter will create an experience that anyone can enjoy!\nFeeding Leroy began as a duo\, when Lee Martin and Sonja Bjordal started performing together in Park City\, UT. They had a weekly gig through out one fateful summer and decided they had found what they were meant to do. The two took their show back home to Duluth\, MN\, on the shores of Lake Superior where they have been performing regularly ever since. They took on a few more band members\, recorded an album\, had a couple name changes\, but it has all led them to become… Feeding Leroy\, living a simple life\, playing tunes around the country and finding inspiration along the way. They have also recently taken to the open road\, bringing this up north sound to new cities across the nation. It’s country music at its core\, it’s fun\, its original\, it’s Feeding Leroy. \n\nBrotherhood of Birds (BoB) is a Twin Cities-based\, Minnesota progressive acoustic string band whose original compositions bring together traditional and modern styles. After hatching in 2021\, the group has been recording and making a splash on regional venues and festivals. Their tag team style lineup makes every show unique while showcasing some of the premier players in the genre that that Twin Cities has to offer.\n \n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=90&v=MhksKbY4UR0 \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Here’s their story from the last decade….\n \nLike many musicians who play the music of Django Reinhardt in the US\, Mississippi Hot Club was spurred by a love for bluegrass picking. It was around 2013 when MHC lead guitarist\, Joshua Parlanti\, and former rhythm player\, Luke Zupan\, were at home working out an old-timey tune\, when Luke asked\, “Have you ever thought about doing Django stuff?” But Josh recalled “Limehouse Blues” by Reinhardt\, and at the time\, playing jazz manouche seemed like an insurmountable task.\n \nAs Josh and Luke toyed with more approachable Django numbers\, such as “Minor Swing” and “Dark Eyes\,” they were active in the bluegrass band Natural Gadget\, with Ian Stenlund\, his brother Kai\, and JP. The group played at clubs like Nomad for a couple years\, and have one recording to crystallize that moment in time.\n \nEventually\, Josh and Luke’s love for Django led them to add more gypsy jazz songs to their repertoire. As members of Natural Gadget moved out of town\, Josh and Luke found new musicians to collaborate with who had a similar budding interest in the genre. Craig Sandberg joined the fold playing upright bass. Excited about their progress\, they began the search for a violin player to complete the true Hot Club ensemble. Craig knew of a classically trained violin player\, Alissa Jacobsen\, who was also playing in old-timey bands in the area.\n \nAlissa was not familiar with jazz manouche\, and when agreeing to join the group\, thought that she was joining a punk group a la Gogol Bordello. She took to the songs and improvisational style immediately – and now Alissa filled the space beside Django that Stephane Grappelli once did.\n \nAfter compiling enough songs for a live set\, their first show as a band with Josh\, Alissa\, Luke\, and Craig was held at now defunct Honey club\, opening for now long-time collaborators The Gentlemen’s Anti-Temperance League. During this time\, MHC live sets were a mix of bluegrass and gypsy jazz.\n \nWith this line-up\, they recorded their debut album\, Hidden Willow Farm\, recorded in a barn at Alissa’s grandmother’s farm in 2014. Josh was the engineer.\n \nNot long after their first gig and recording\, Craig announced that he would be moving out of state. Josh called Ian and asked for the phone number of a bass player that Ian knew\, Jason Stanek. Ian told Josh that he would give him the number if he could play rhythm in the band as well. Ian had learned the la pompe style of rhythm from his buddy in high school\, Sam Miltich\, who by that time was a world-wide-recognized gypsy jazz guitarist. Josh agreed\, and now MHC had two rhythm guitar players and a new bass player for a time.\n \nJason didn’t stick around long\, and Joseph Downing saw MHC perform at 331 Club. He mentioned wanting to play bass with MHC\, so Joe entered as Jason left. This was also a pseudo reunion\, as Josh\, Luke\, Ian and Joe are all from the Iron Range town of Grand Rapids\, MN (Alissa is originally from Stillwater\, but we call her our surrogate Grand Rapidian). This line-up continued for many years. In 2016\, they recorded Flour & Sawdust on the 2nd floor of a duplex that Ian was renting. This record was engineered by Kai Stenlund\, and mixed by Kai and Josh.\n \nJust one year later\, in 2017\, MHC booked their first session at a professional studio\, Wild Sound Recording Studio\, where they produced Swing Cities with Steve Kaul behind the board. Josh and Ian then mixed the record in a basement that Josh was renting in Uptown. As a matter of fact\, after returning the mixes to Steve for mastering\, Josh was hired as an engineer at Wild Sound.\n \nThroughout this time\, they performed at venues and festivals in the Twin Cities and in Wisconsin\, including Twin Cities Jazz Fest\, were hired to play several weddings and other private parties\, and curated the annual Prohibition Swing Night\, first at the Bedlam\, then several at the Hook and Ladder.  They began to fully develop their current sound during a residency at Palmer’s Bar when Josh primarily played electric guitar and the band began to stretch out the solo sections\, resulting in a unique\, somewhat modernized interpretation of the Hot Club sound.\n \nNow\, when they are on stage together\, MHC has the connection and energy that only a 10 years of playing together can create. Come celebrate a decade of music with us at the Hook and Ladder Theater on January 25th!\n\n—\nBOX-OFFICE Tickets Are Available in The Zen Arcade During Hours of Operation.

John’s that guy on the bus who sits quietly\, looking tired like the rest of us. The difference is he is sitting there composing a song about your life and those painful poignant moments you dust off on the way home between life’s chores. His songs show us our lives and the subtle but important things that become universally important hallmarks of our Midwestern journey.  \n\n \nJohn glimpses it all through a poet’s heart. When he stands bravely on a stage with a guitar and begins singing\, we get to see it too.  \n\n \nThe songs John writes keep winning awards from prestigious songwriting showcases. Including the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk competition\, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriter Showcase\, and the Great River Folk Fest songwriter contest. (That’s some hot sh-t folks!)\n \n“Rootsy singer/songwriter John Louis [is] equal parts John Prine and Robert Earl Keen.” – Minneapolis StarTribune  \n\n \nFolksinger-songwriter Kelley Smith is a hopeless romantic who fancies old poetry and grandpa sweaters. All at once whimsical and haunting\, Smith delivers deeply affecting lyrics with wry charm and a time traveler’s voice. Prone to melancholy and daydreaming\, Kelley spent her childhood roaming the woods of Minnesota and singing to forest animals. To this day\, her longing for that landscape runs deep and seems to find its way into her songs in one way or another.\n \n Since 2022\, Kelley has had the honor of sharing stages with folks like Charlie Parr\, Dave Simonett\, Alan Sparhawk\, Wild Horses\, Kelly Hunt\, Drew Peterson\, Stephen Wilson Jr.\, Molly Maher\, and more. Most often performing solo or as a duo\, Smith interprets old folk songs on guitar and banjo\, in addition to her original music.  ”Her authentic\, rootsy sound\, falling somewhere between country\, folk\, bluegrass and old-time music\, is a pitch-perfect vehicle for the themes she explores...” – Adventures in Americana \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

SUMMARY:Then Comes Silence with Stranger Gallery\, DJ Gwiingwans
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n		rsvp on Facebook\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nThe Zen Arcade Stageat The Hook and Ladder’s Mission Room \n\nDoors 8:30pm :: Music 9:00pm :: 21+\n$18 ADV (Box-Office)\nNO REFUNDS\n\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nThen Comes Silence\n\n\nwith Stranger Gallery & DJ Gwiingwans \n\n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered what triumph over adversity sounds like? The answer lies in ‘Trickery’\, the seventh album from gothic post-punk legends Then Comes Silence.  \n \nIt’s 2022\, and on the eve of their first-ever US tour and eager to promote their stellar albums ‘Machine’ (2020) and ‘Hunger’ (2022) for the first time\, Then Comes Silence are suddenly and unexpectedly reduced to a three-piece.  Would their famed darkwave wall-of-sound still work with just the three bandmembers? The answer was resoundingly positive\, so much so that the band resolved to continue with the slimmed-down line-up on a permanent basis on further US (supporting Vision Video and The Bellwether Syndicate) and European tours\, and now on their return to the studio. This inadvertent metamorphosis of the band has led to a different way of creating music and performing live. \n \nTo capture the heart and essence of the trio’s live prowess\, ‘Trickery’ was recorded in just three days in Kapsylen Studio in Stockholm. With Jonas Fransson (in the band since 2015) laying down an energetic punk backbeat and sleaze punk fan Hugo Zombie (a 2018 recruit) providing inventive and rhythmic guitar lines\, the main focus remains on singer and bassist Alex Svenson\, sole surviving member from the band’s 2012 debut album\, whose velvety croon and solid bass lines are enhanced on ‘Trickery’ by retro synth sounds reminiscent of his recent solo futurist wave project Neonpocalypse. “The electronic elements are essential to ‘Trickery’\,” Alex says\, “but are also a salute to punk music\, the cradle of Then Comes Silence and the cradle of post-punk“. \n \nThe band’s existential crisis also resulted in a re-assessment of their very raison d’être\, and this is reflected lyrically on the new album. Then Comes Silence explain that ‘Trickery’ celebrates friendship\, unity and the feeling of belonging to a group\, a tribe.\n \n\n“Being a part of what many people call ‘the goth and post-punk community’ is a great privilege. After being on the road meeting people from the music scene for so many years\, we have experienced a caring and welcoming community. Both old and young\, some with a similar background and some just for the love of the music and the culture that comes with the lifestyle. No-one is free from apprehension and fear. Everyone feels some kind of alienation to a certain extent. You might often think you need to camouflage yourself to feel part of a scene\, to make a change to fit into the group. The need for friendship is strong\, so you adapt. Maybe not always the way you hoped\, but then…  there are moments when we unite and harmonize with other people and feel an incredible community together. That feeling is priceless and a blessing. Friendship is love. It is important and worth fighting for.” \n—\n\nBOX-OFFICE Tickets Are Available in The Zen Arcade During Hours of Operation.

In 2001\, the idea to form a Van Morrison tribute band was formed\, and Terry spent the rest of the year learning Van songs and building an all-star band\, with Joe Loskotaon keyboards and Vic Volare running the horn section. The band played their first show at the old 400 Bar on Saint Patrick’s Day 2002. \n\n \nMany musicians played with the band over the first few years\, and continue to do so today\, but the ‘A’ team was soon established: Dan Kowalke on guitar and backing vocals\, Joe Baumgart (bass)\, Dave Kirby and Dave Haugen (drums\, backing vocals)\, Joe Loskota(keyboards\, backing vocals)\, Paul Gronert (sax)\, Matt Hanzelka (trombone)\, Tim Martin (trumpet)\, Vic Volare(sax\, flute) and Terry Walsh (lead vocals\, guitar\, harmonica\, piano). \n\nThe band has expanded its content over the years to include rock and soul covers along with Terry’s own originals\, which have become fan favorites. Now a beloved staple in Minnesota\, the 9-piece Belfast Cowboys averaged over 120 shows a year before the pandemic. The bar-tested troubadours are known for playing epic sets at their weekly Minneapolis gigs and drawing large crowds to outdoor festivals. Occasionally they’ll venture beyond the Midwest to play Ireland\, Phoenix\, New York’s Times Square\, and once opened for the band Chicago in front of 15\,000 people.—BOX-OFFICE Tickets Are Available in The Zen Arcade During Hours of Operation.For More Information visit www.ZenArcadeTHC.comNO REFUNDS\n \n\n\n \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
