David Kushner
at Fillmore
livenation.com

Certified multi-platinum folk pop singer and songwriter David Kushner is currently on tour and will stop in Minneapolis, at the new Fillmore on September 18, 2024.

David Kushner at Varsity Theater (21 Sep 2023)

We saw Kushner in Sep 2023, and wrote, “David Kushner is having a moment right now. One that involves being strapped to a rocket of a hit single “Daylight” and launching into the stratosphere of fandom. Just to enter the Varsity Theater involved getting in a line that almost circumvented the Dinkytown block. The mood of the young crowd inside was palpable as they sang along to d4vd’s “Here With Me” while the stage was being set. And when it was go time, the screaming was on a level that I have never quite experienced. It was loud, it was sustained and it was louder than the actual music.”

According to the tour poster, Rosie and Henrik to open.

ROSIE at 7th Street Entry (11 June 2023)

We saw Rosie in Jun 2023, and said, “Closing out the night was Rosie … on her “Healing” Tour. Before we can get to the ‘healing’ part, Rosie played a few sad songs, including “Sad Sad Sad” and “Social Stamina”. As the set hit the mid-way mark with a cover of Coldplay’s “Fix You”, Rosie shifts to “LLYM” (which stands for “lie like you love me”)… a song sung in Spanish and English. She ended her set with another set of sad songs, “Never the 1” and “Someone You Once Had.””

CSS at Fine Line, Minneapolis (09 May 2024)

05/09 CSS at Fine Line CSS Setlist CSS Suxxx I Love You Music Is My Hot Hot Sex Hits Me Like A Rock Alcohol Move Dynamite F**k Everything Hollywood (Madonna cover) City Grrrl Teenage Tiger Cat Red Alert This Month, Day 10 Let's Reggae All Night Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above -- Encore -- I Wanna Be Your J.Lo Art Bitch Alala Read More CSS Brazil's CSS (although I believe the ladies are all now resides in Los Angeles for the moment) just announced their summer tour. The show should be a fun dance party, especially if they are going to be playing songs like "Hangover" off their new…

Brazil’s CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) returned to the Fine Line, in Minneapolis… happy to return in over a decade.

Opening the show was Luna Muse, doing a drag show by lip-syncing to such pop song as the Ting Tings’ “That’s Not My Name”, Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl”, and La Roux’s “Bulletproof.”

CSS (25 Jun 2013)

It’s been a long time, but CSS (Lovefoxxx, Ana Rezende, Carolina Parra and Luiza Sá), has reunited and celebrating their 20th Anniversary as a band. Yes, we were there for the band, at the Fine Line, in Jun 2013, and wrote, “This marks the first time we get to see CSS minus Adriano Cintra, who left the band last year. So how has this affected CSS on their recent tour and their music on Planta? No change. CSS is still fun, dance, alternative, pop, youth music. Whatever Lovefoxxx and company is doing, the formula is still working. It was fun to watch singer Lovefoxxx undergo some "costume changes" throughout their set. The white jacket was first to go, then the long dress, the two white fans, and finally the awesome cape at the end.”

Lovefoxxx tells so many wonderful little stories about the band. For example, the first time she went to the audition for CSS, she was wearing a Motorhead T-Shirt (because she liked the design). She didn’t know any of their songs, except for “Ace of Spades”, and she had a fear that the band would question her about Motorhead. Thankfully, no one bothered to mention about the shirt.

She then asked the audience if they could name five other Motorhead songs… of course, no one in the audience could muster up an answer.

For the introduction of “Teenage Tiger Cat”, Lovefoxxx explained that when she was young, she used to write songs about sex … but as she got older, she would write songs about cats.

Throughout the show, Lovefoxxx removed layers of clothing, starting with a baggy black cover to a yellow puffy jumpsuit, to a white T-Shirt, to a full body leotard. It was fun to watch her transform, and it just tells me that the band put a lot of thought and stage presence to their shows.

For the encore, Lovefoxxx tells us the secret origin of “I Wanna Be Your J.Lo”. Apparently, the band wanted to do a cover of Sleater-Kinney’s “I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramones”, but she didn’t know the lyrics… so she threw in Jennifer Lopez’s “Jenny from The Block” with some rap lyrics to make “I Wanna Be Your J.Lo” truly a CSS classic.

CSS is so fun to see live. If you’ve never seen them, you need to see them on this tour, as it could be the last time we see the band.

Putumayo Presents Bossa Nova

PUTUMAYO PRESENTS: BOSSA NOVA Track Listings Blue Bossa - Ana Caram Quando Falas Coração - Mauricio Pessoa Ondas - Bïa Canto Das TRÊS Raças - Clara Bellar with Dori Caymmi Provas de Amor - Flávia Dantas Manhã de Carnaval - Amanda Martinez Meu Mundo É Hoje - Péri Dança Da Solidão - Yvy Maraey Te Esperei - Tamy Começa Com S - Orquestra Bamba Social Read More Putumayo This year, Putumayo is releasing Jazz Christmas, an uplifting collection of mostly instrumental jazz for the holidays. If you like World Music, chances are, you probably own a Putumayo album. They are known for compiling some of the best … Bossa Nova Astrud Gilberto, whose vocal performance on the first song she ever recorded, “The Girl From Ipanema,” helped bring the lasting wave of Brazilian bossa nova into the 1960’s mainstream, died on Monday at the age of 83. …

We are big fans of the Putumayo World Music record label and it’s good to know that after thirty years the label is still highlighting music from around the globe with Bossa Nova being its latest issue.

In 1993 Dan Storper, owner of a successful line of Latin American handicraft shops had an “ah ha” moment and decided to start a music label after a chance encounter, seeing the African band Kotoja play at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Think of Putumayo as that cool, hip friend who did all the legwork and has crafted a bespoke playlist to highlight a particular musical genre that you may have never heard of. At least that’s how I view it, for I have listened to many of Putumayo’s musical collections over the years, ranging from Afro-Cuban and Reggae to African and Espana.

With Bossa Nova Putumayo visits a musical genre that is seventy years old. Starting in the southern neighborhoods of Rio De Janeiro, it is a relaxed form of samba with unconventional chords, innovative syncopation and quiet vocals that seem to glide over the accompaniment.

It seems fitting that the label is visiting the genre for the woman responsible for launching the music onto the global stage just passed away this summer. It was Astrud Gilberto along with her husband, guitarist Joao Gilberto and jazz sax player, Stan Getz, that introduced bossa nova to the world with “The Girl From Ipanema,” an international hit that would go on to win the Grammy’s Record of the Year in 1964.

The first song on Putumayo’s issue is a nod to that song. Ana Caram’s cover of jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham’s “Blue Bossa'' captures what makes the music so appealing: creating a sense of place, a place of warm ocean breezes, sandy beaches as idle hours whittle away. In fact, the whole collection transports you to a place that does not involve the hectic schedule of a modern life, but provides a little respite.

As the label states on its press release: “Putumayo Presents Bossa Nova is an opportunity to present some of the contemporary voices that are keeping the heart and soul of bossa nova alive and thriving.”

Also, Putumayo has created a special 30th Anniversary Playlist, available on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and YouTube. It’s a curated list highlighting the music of the past three decades with the opening song “Sawalé” being one of the songs Storper heard Kotoja play on that fateful day at Golden Gate Park.

Bob Moses
with Amtrac
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Grammy-Award winning duo Bob Moses (Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance) returns to Minneapolis, at First Avenue’s mainroom, this April 14th, touring in support of their latest The Silence in Between.

The record is the duo’s first full-length since signing to Astralwerks, with global partnership with Domino Recording Co. Creating the album was a difficult, as Howie explains, “Making this album was a way for us to process what we’d been going through and figure out how to move forward. We lost a good friend during the pandemic, I had my first child, Jimmy’s parents went through a divorce, and there were so many other world-shaking things happening around us. We were dealing with a lot of fear and uncertainty, and music became like our life raft. It allowed us to really focus in on the purity and the magic of our working relationship, to get back to trusting our instincts and just be as honest as possible.”

Amtrac (not to be confused with Amtrak) to open.

In her first major USA tour, Brazilian singer/songwriter Marisa Monte, will stop by the State Theatre in Minneapolis on March 12th. The tour is in support of her 12th album Portas (Phonomotor/Sony Music).

If you’re not familiar with the singer, she sold 10 million albums in 2011, won numerous awards, including four Latin Grammys, seven Brazilian MTV Video Music Awards, nine Multishow de Música Brasileira awards, 5 APCAs, and six Prêmio TIM de Música.

Rolling Stone Brasil considered Monte, the second greatest singer, behind only Elis Regina.

Since COVID-19 had unexpectedly stopped Monte from touring, so 2022 couldn’t come fast enough for the singer. She said, “I’m super-happy to come back to the road. I’ve never spent so much time without singing live. I’m very glad to have the opportunity to go to the United States and sing in many cities where I’ve never performed. It’s nice for me after 35 years to have this chance.”

R.I.P. João Gilberto

Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto: Getz-Gilberto, 1963 Read More Joao Gilberto Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto were responsible for "The Girl from Ipanema" with Gilberto's then-wife Astrud on vocals .…

Bossa Nova pioneer João Gilberto has died at the age of 88.

One of the most famous Bossa Nova song, “The Girl from Ipanema” was a collaboration between American jazz musician Stan Getz and Gilberto. Joao’s then-wife Astrud Gilberto lent her vocals on the recording, because Joao couldn’t sing the song in English (Joao sang the Portuguese version). That magic of rhythmic Brazilian sound and jazz influence, plus the whispery singing style of Astrud Gilberto - it was a winning formula.

Céu at the Dakota Jazz Club, Minneapolis (06/15/12)

Tour Dates 06/17/12 Denver, CO - Bluebird Theater 06/19/12 Phoenix, AZ - Musical Instrument 06/20/12 Solana Beach, CA - Belly Up Tavern 06/21/12 Los Angeles, CA - El Rey Theatre 06/22/12 San Francisco, CA - Herbst Theatre 06/25/12 Seattle, WA - Triple Door 06/26/12 Vancouver, BC - Rio Theatre 06/28/12 Allston, MA - Brighton Music Hall 06/30/12 Montreal, QB – Club Soda Read More Céu If I had to pick my favorite musical instrument, it would definitely be the female voice. That’s why I am partial to Céu.

Once again, Céu returned to the Twin Cities at the Dakota Jazz Club, last night, June 15th. You can just tell she loves the Dakota and she loves Minneapolis.

Curumin

Opening up for her was labelmate, Curumin (pronounced "koo-roo-meen"). For some reason, I thought it would be a one-man-band, but Curumin had a trio going. He was the singer and the drummer and occasionally had pre-programmed beats mixed in. His English sounded good, but reluctant.

My favorite song off his set was a track from his new album, Arrocha, called "Passarinho". He explained that the song is about a little bird (love) and you must set it free.

I believe this is Céu's third time in Minneapolis, and her latest appearance, she's more confident than ever as evident by her improved English and more upbeat/funk sound.

As you can see from the setlist, all of the songs on Caravana Sereia Bloom were played live. This included a block of songs in the first half of her set: "Fffree", "Falta De Ar", "Asfalto E Sal", "Amor De Antigos", "Contravento", "Streets Bloom", and "Retrovisor". You did catch a break with "Cangote" from her previous Vagarosa, but then it's back to Caravana Sereia Bloom for the next two songs.

When I see artists playing entire new material, it usually means that the band is extremely happy with the new songs and is eagerly trying it out live. Sometime it doesn't go well with the old fans (who wants to hear the hits), but I didn't get that reaction from the audience; they seem to enjoy the new upbeat/funk/world beat new songs.

There were three songs for the encore, one of which was "Concrete Jungle", one of her few English songs.

Céu's third studio album, Caravana Sereia Bloom, is out now, via Six Degrees Records. You can buy the record via Amazon.com, or pick up one when you meet her in person at a live show.

Céu at Dakota Jazz Club, Minneapolis (06/15/12)

<h3 class="entry-header">BONUS: W&hearts;M137: Céu</h3>

W♥M137 (8 mins)

This is a new thing I'm trying out, our audio notes of the shows we just saw, so it's still fresh on our mind.

NOTE: I was saying 'soo' as per the announcer. I believe the correct pronunciation of Céu is supposed to be 'cel', but most people calls her 'say-oo' or 'cee-oo'.

Dave thought Curumin had a nice groove and we were both surprise that the singer was also the drummer. Dave recalls Phil Collins, while I thought The Lucksmiths (before they had their own dedicated drummer) and The Romantics…. In either case, it's been a while since we saw the singer/drummer combo.

Compared to the last Céu show, her latest show is more funk, more afrobeat. Dave thinks it's and overall world music fusion. We both agree that the "Scratcher" has a strong influence on her current music.
