Paul is celebrating his new self-titled release with a concert at The Hook & Ladder.\n \nDerek Houston (The Iguanas\, Clifton Chenier\, Antone’s 50th Anniversary Band) is flying up from New Orleans to join the band for this special show. \n \n\nThe new album\, simply entitled PAUL CEBAR\, explores themes of love\, loss\, resilience\, and celebration—woven through with the sonic threads of soul\, reggae\, Tex-Mex\, gospel\, rock\, and beyond. Cebar\, known for decades as a beloved purveyor of R&B gems\, world rhythms\, and roots music\, describes the new album as his most personal yet: “This one’s really where I’m at. This is me.” Produced in collaboration with Alex Hall (J.D. McPherson\, The Cactus Blossoms)\, the album features members of Paul Cebar’s Tomorrow Sound band\, along with notable contributions from his extended musical family in New Orleans and Chicago. \n\nKnown for his work in the R&B Cadets\, Paul Cebar & The Milwaukeeans\, and Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound\, Cebar has entertained audiences with infectious\, dance-happy\, genre-hopping music that has earned a loyal following from the public as well as his peers. Joe Elyhas described him as “an American original\,” while Bonnie Raitt proclaimed: “I’ve been a fan of Paul’s for a long time.” Nick Lowe\, meanwhile\, hailed him as “the real thing: a proper soulful cat with the tunes\, the chops and the voice to swing this epoch back to its senses.”\n \n“Paul Cebar has been a musicians’ musician for as long as I’ve known him. Nothing wrong with that but how sweet it would be if at last the wider public could finally catch on to what the rest of us have known for all these years (in my case nearly thirty) that Cebar is the real thing: a proper soulful cat with the tunes\, the chops and the voice to swing this epoch back to its senses.” – Nick Lowe

SUMMARY:The Belfast Cowboys "Giving Thanks"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n\n		RSVP ON FACEBOOK\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 “Giving Thanks”\nBenefiting Foothold Twin Cities \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.  They have become one of Minnesota’s (and The Hook & Ladder’s) most popular bands.\n \nLed 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 Lockton 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\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.\n \n\n*A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Foothold Twin Cities\,  Over half a million people and children in Minnesota live below the official poverty line which often means that they are one surprise expense away from being homeless.  Foothold Twin Cities pays that expense for families who are referred by trusted sources. https://www.footholdtwincities.org\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.

DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n\n		RSVP ON FACEBOOK\n	\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nThe Zen Arcade Stage at The Hook and Ladder\n\n\nDoors 7:00pm :: Music 7:30pm \n\n\nGA: $11 Box-Office / $13.20 Online / $16 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 EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nThe Long Honeymoon & Famous Volcanoes Double Album Release!\nw/ Barking with Ghosts—\nPop-rock bands The Long Honeymoon and Famous Volcanoes are thrilled to co-host their album release parties at the Mission Room on November 13\, 2025. Local favorites Barking with Ghosts (who released their debut album at the same place with the same lineup last spring) round out the bill. \n—\nThe Long Honeymoon\nMinneapolis-based indie rock band The Long Honeymoon has been filling venues and exciting fans for nearly 3 years with their high-energy shows\, featuring original songs with their signature multi-part harmonies\, deft arrangements and tight grooves. Its members\, veterans of a variety of beloved Twin Cities’ bands (The Humbugs\, Lee Rude\, Atomic Flea\, The Bazillions\, Charlie Bucket\, and The Radio Spares)\, combine a deep love of classic pop-rock with a modern sound and joyous spirit.\n \n“The World is Waiting\,” the band’s debut album\, contains 11 original songs that have been road-tested over the past several years at bars\, outdoor venues\, and breweries. The album was produced by the band with help from local legends Jacques Wait (Rank Strangers\, The Twilight Hours) and David J. Russ (ELnO\, Something Fierce\, Holiday Ranch\, Dan Israel). And there’s lots more where those came from – a 4 song EP is already finished and will be released this spring! \n“The World is Waiting” will be released digitally on October 10\, 2025\, with a limited-edition vinyl pressing available online (here!)\, at shows\, and at local record stores shortly after that. The Long Honeymoon will be performing this fall in support of the album. \n\n—\nFor 20 years Famous Volcanoes has been spewing musical lava of full on rock\, rootsy Americana\, multi-layered pure pop and traditional bluegrass.  The Volcanoes proudly wear their influences on their ragged shirtsleeves putting a Midwestern spin on a Crazy Horse meets quirk pop sound.  With three full length recordings (and another on the way) this five piece Minneapolis band have performed on stages from regional dive bars to Hollywood hotspots to back yard BBQ’s.    —\nBarking at Ghosts is a Minneapolis-based power-pop trio specializing in tightly crafted original songs\, hooky riffs and melodic vocal harmonies. Their music reflects a shared passion for classic rock and pop\, psychedelia\, post punk and rockabilly. Debut LP Hearing Horns arrived in April 2025 and features ten original songs that range from punky power-pop to folky jangle and achingly pretty melancholy.\n \nGuitarist Johnny Wilson (Go Buttons\, Evil Sulu) is a native North Carolinian and has fronted bands in NC\, St. Louis and Minneapolis. Drummer Chris Hansen (Pioneer Son\, Clockwork) is a native Minnesotan and gigged for years around the state before forming the band Hearing Horns in 2013 with Johnny and bassist John Hile. In late 2023\, Montana transplant and veteran bassist Rob McClain (Tim Montana & the Shrednecks\, Jeremy Scared)\, met Chris by happenstance at Chris’ optical shop. Barking at Ghosts was born.\n \nAll three members share a background in the fine and applied arts. Johnny works by day as a freelance graphic designer after a long career designing for Best Buy Corporate. After a career in graphic design\, Chris now runs Owl Optical in Minneapolis with his wife Julie. Rob is currently working towards his BFA degree at the University of Minnesota. Before that he worked in film and theater and owned his own company for over twenty years.\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.
