Two things jumped out at me immediately – the exceptional singing\, and the level of confidence in the performances.

SUMMARY:The 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\n Doors 7pm / Music 7:30pm / 21+\n GA: $22 Box-Office / $25.05 Online / $27 Door\n\n\nBOX-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 EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\nThe Belfast Cowboys  – Musical Mistletoe!\nLove Songs & Hot Dance Numbers From Nine Not-So-Tiny Reindeer\n— \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 \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\n \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 \n\n\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 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			\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.

The Cornbread\, as he often refers to himself\, has been playing blues\, boogie-woogie and rock n roll piano for Twin Cities audiences for decades…roughly 7 of them now. Yes\, Cornbread opened for The King (Elvis). Yes\, a young Cornbread appeared on MN’s first recorded rock & roll record (with Augie Garcia). Yes\, Cornbread has been the recipient of numerous prestigious (Blues Hall of Fame\, Sally Award\, etc.) recognitions. Yes\, Cornbread is Jimmy Jam’s dad.\n \nBut\, the fact that Cornbread still holds down weekly and monthly gigs across the Twin Cities at restaurants like The Loring Pasta Bar and Hells Kitchen\, as well as playing local music venues\, weddings\, churches\, old folks homes and private events as often as he can\, is what might just make him the most special artist in our artist-rich community.\n \nPlease join us as we celebrate the holidays with a 98 year old living legend\, James Samuel ‘Cornbread’ Harris\, Sr. \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.

Americana\, Roots\, Bluegrass\, and a boot-stompin’ good time!\n— \n6:30 pm – Doors7:00 pm- The Penny Peaches (Lounge)7:15 pm – Turn Turn Turn (Theater)8:15 pm – The Penny Peaches (Lounge)8:30 pm – Maygen & The Birdwatcher (Theater)9:45 pm – The Penny Peaches (Lounge)10:00 pm – Joseph Huber Band \n————- \nMaygen & The Birdwatcher \nMaygen & The Birdwatcher are expanding their horizons in multiple ways this year. The Americana Dream\, the band’s sophomore record (expected fall 2025) from the MN group led by songwriters Maygen Lacey and Noah Neumann is a sonic travelogue that charts where the group has been and where their collective gaze is headed. The record follows their 2021 debut Moonshine\, as well as festival opportunities to share stages with fellow genre luminaries like Sierra Ferrell\, Old Crow Medicine Show\, and Grace Potter and being awarded Album of the Year from the Midwest Country Music Organization. Along with co-producer John Fields (Brandi Carlile\, Miley Cyrus)\, Maygen & The Birdwatcher’s new album represents a full embrace of the literal definition of Americana\, as well as a deep love for the ground we walk on and the future of the planet itself. On The Americana Dream\, the group continues to push themselves while making it sound effortless through the pure strength of their creations.\n  \n\nJoseph Huber hails from the state of Wisconsin\, and seems to bring forth the varied voices of whatever it may be that lies dormant within either the fertile soil or the callous concrete of that world. It has been said\, “You don’t just like Joseph Huber’s music. You feel it’s something that the rest of the world needs to hear\, and how criminal it is that it isn’t spreading far and wide.” That sentiment could be related to the fact that the voices which Huber unearths are subtle and take more than a hurried listen to truly absorb. A person who appears reserved and matter-of-fact in everyday speech brings forth songs that are anything but that.\n \nTurn Turn Turn is a trio who bonded over their mutual love of close harmony 60s and 70s country\, folk\, and pop music and formed an original Americana band. To create their distinctive sound\, the band “turns” to the distant past of early American recorded music\, “turns” again to that renaissance of the 1960s and 1970s\, and finally “turns” again to the present looking forward. Members Adam Levy (guitar\, vocals)\, Savannah Smith (guitar\, vocals) and Barb Brynstad (bass\, vocals) are all mainstays of the Minnesota music scene and together craft an infectious\, pop-infused Americana. Even though Turn Turn Turn was born as a cover band\, the group’s original material – sweetheart alt-country folk-pop  – quickly stole the spotlight.\n \n\nThe Penny Peaches are a family band with an alt-Americana sound. Sister songwriters Hattie and Grace Peach feature lyrical storytelling\, blood harmonies\, and soaring melodies in their songs. Hattie brings lead vocals\, acoustic guitar\, and fiddle to the group.
