FIRST AVENUE
Passenger / Stu Larsen
We caught Passenger (aka /Passenger.) at a tiny, tiny venue called the Hollow, inside the Local bar, in Minneapolis in 2008. Now the man behind Passenger, Mike Rosenberg, is back with his latest album Whispers and he's sold out First Avenue's mainroom. What an incredible achievement.
Opening up, is listed as Stu Larsen, although he's not mentioned anywhere on Firstavenue.com.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 28
CABOOZE
Chicago Afrobeat Project
We last mentioned Chicago Afrobeat Project on the bill for the Cedar's African Summer in 2013.
The 8-piece group's biggest influence is obviously Fela Kuti, one of the pioneer of Afrobeat. So they were really happy to get drummer Tony Allen (Fela Kuti's drummer for the first 15 years) to play for them... expecting to record a full album set for 2015.
Obviously the name Tony Allen means something, as they've bolded his name on the forefront of their tour poster to read: The Chicago Afrobeat Project, featuring Tony Allen.
It would seem that the Chicago-based project is kicking off their US tour with Minneapolis.
