It’s that time of the year again, Charlie Parr will be doing his January 2025 Residency at the Turf Club, in St Paul.

Charlie Parr at the Armory (26 Nov 2022)

We recently saw Parr with Trampled By Turtles at the Armory in Nov 2022 and wrote, “Charlie Parr opened up with his weathered steel guitar and friend, Mick, playing what Parr called: “The washing machine.” Even with no band Parr had no trouble filling the cavernous space of the Armory with an earthy voice that rose to all three levels and into the rafters of the venue. Born in Austin, MN and now residing in Duluth, Parr’s musical style of folk and blues seems to be from another era. Still, he instantly connected with the sold out crowd with a generous set of 12 songs ranging from a career that has produced 16 albums…”

Bryn Battani at White Squirrel Bar (05 Aug 2024)

We saw Bryn Battani in Aug 2024 and wrote, “Bryn Battani said she is a recent transplant from Texas, and that certainly they don’t have these kind of events in Austin. She was also the only artist to switch over to keys, from acoustic guitar.”

Rosie writes:

The trio (Marc Ribot on guitar/vocals, Shahzad Ismaily on bass, and Ches Smith on drums) …

The annual free Lakeside Guitar Festival at the Como Lakeside Pavilion took place over the weekend, taking place on Friday, August 11st with Brothers in Mud, The Mood Swings, and Charlie Parr. It continues to Saturday, August 12th, and ending with the afterparty at the Turf Club on Sunday, August 13th.

Saturday’s day event was very well organized, thanks to the direction of Molly Maher and Todd Clouser.

There were four stages, starting with The Grand Lawn, which featured El Diablo Pedal Swap and "Strum Along/Sing A Song" led by Kith and Kin Chorus.

The Waterfall Stage features Paul Metzger and Mexico-Minnesota Collaboration Flow.

The Cafe Stage features Skarlett Woods, Dandy L. Frelin, and Kelley Smith.

The main stage, the Promenade Stage, had Joyann Parker Duo, Rod Harris Jr, HoneyButter and Marc Ribot's Jazz Bins

HoneyButter is a Minneapolis jazz/bossa nova band. Normally a trio with Clara Wicklund on vocals and sometime on miniature guitar and upright bass, Zak Khan on guitars, and Andreas Fenner on keys… but for the live show, they’re also joined by a bassist/saxophonist, and drummer.

On their 40-min set, they played their first single “Swim”, and ended on a new song (not released yet) called “Turn Around”. The group will be playing the Dakota Jazz Club on August 17th.

New York, by the way of New Jersey, Marc Ribot closed out the event. As you may have known, Ribot worked extensively as a session guitarist, famously worked with Tom Waits, Caetano Veloso, John Zorn, Cibo Matto, Elvis Costello, Tift Merritt, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Plant, The Black Keys, Elton John, Neko Case, Joe Henry, and many, many others.

His experiences led him to experimenting with many musical genre, free jazz, rock, Cuban, blues, etc. When we caught Ribot earlier in June 2023, he was playing under the Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog (featuring Shahzad Ismaily on bass and Ches Smith on percussion), which was a combination of rock music with experimental jazz.

With Marc Ribot’s Jazz Bins (featuring Greg Lewis on hammond organ and Joe Dyson on drums), it would seem like this is a band playing standards (or interprets mainstream music) as jazz instrumentals. Often time, they pick a beat and work around the song, extending a standard three minute song to fifteen minutes. And that’s just the first song, “Fried Neck Bones And Some Home Fries”, originally by Willie Bobo.

My favorite was James Brown’s “Ain’t It Funky Now”, which sound familiar but with more keys added, due to the Jazz Bins’ instruments. Marc’s guitar would play the trumpet part of the song.

Although, looking at their setlist and based on their 45-minute allotted time, I do not believe they played everything (especially considering that each song they played was about 10 minutes or more a piece!). Perhaps, the rest of the set will be carried over to tonight’s Lakeside Guitar Festival Afterparty, taking place at the Turf Club on Sunday, August 13.

The Afterparty show will feature Marc Ribot + John Medeski, with Carrie Rodriguez and Klezmerson.

Blondshell is still very new, having only released four singles, her debut “Olympus,” “Cartoon Earthquake”, “Kiss City,” and “Sepsis” … which Rolling Stone picked as their #1 “Pick of the Month”: “phenomenally catchy alt-rock blast from her hotly buzzed upcoming debut LP.”

As with previous years, Duluth’s Charlie Parr is doing a month-long residency at the Turf Club in St Paul.

We recently saw Parr with Trampled By Turtles at the Armory in Nov 2022 and wrote, “Charlie Parr opened up with his weathered steel guitar and friend, Mick, playing what Parr called: “The washing machine.” Even with no band Parr had no trouble filling the cavernous space of the Armory with an earthy voice that rose to all three levels and into the rafters of the venue. Born in Austin, MN and now residing in Duluth, Parr’s musical style of folk and blues seems to be from another era. Still, he instantly connected with the sold out crowd with a generous set of 12 songs ranging from a career that has produced 16 albums…”

Local favorite band The Cactus Blossoms is once again doing a residency at the Turf Club in January 2023.

The brother duo recently released their Bob Dylan cover EP, If Not For You (Bob Dylan Songs Vol 1).

Jack Torrey (half of the Cactus Blossoms) said, “We had recorded a version of "Went to See The Gypsy” a while back and we were thinking about doing an EP of other people’s songs, but then it just made sense to stick with all Dylan tunes. He’s written a million songs and he’s always been an inspiration for us. So many of Bob Dylan’s songs are filled with wonderful phrasing that doesn’t really lend itself to harmony singing, so we got together and started singing some of his songs to see which ones we could bend into our world.” 

We last saw Cactus Blossoms at their album release instore for One Day in Feb 2022 and noted, “Immediately after the release of The Cactus Blossoms’ new album, One Day, the American duo appeared at three stores, performing at Mill City Sound (in Hopkins), Down In The Valley (in Golden Valley), and Electric Fetus (in Minneapolis), all on February 12th.”

Trampled by Turtles at the Armory (11/26/2022)

Future Islands, Liberty Hall Lawrence. $26-$30 ... Charlie Parr Last of the Better Days Ahead is the new collection of songs from Minnesotan Charlie Parr. What’s important to note is that the album is being released on Smithsonian Folkways, the non-profit record label …

Trampled by Turtles made a long-anticipated appearance in the Twin Cities, bringing along a few of their friends from Duluth, MN to mark the return.

Charlie Parr opened up with his weathered steel guitar and friend, Mick, playing what Parr called: “The washing machine.” Even with no band Parr had no trouble filling the cavernous space of the Armory with an earthy voice that rose to all three levels and into the rafters of the venue.

Born in Austin, MN and now residing in Duluth, Parr’s musical style of folk and blues seems to be from another era. Still, he instantly connected with the sold out crowd with a generous set of 12 songs ranging from a career that has produced 16 albums. A favorite of the evening was “Cheap Wine” in which a liquor owner fails to see much difference between his customers:

All these old ladies
Comin’ in here buyin’ cheap wine
Ain’t no better than all these bums
Comin’ in here and buy cheap wine

Parr then paid homage to a hero of his, Spider John Koerner, with the rollick-driven “Rocky Raccoon”. He then featured the title song from his latest album “Last of the Better Days Ahead”.

It wasn’t far from the venue where Parr got the feel for the life of a blues musician. It was working down the street at the Minneapolis Salvation Army where he met the lives of individuals that would inspire and find prominent roles in his songs.

Parr ended the set with Charley Patton’s “Oh Death” by setting down his guitar and belting out the lyrics with a lament so forceful he held his arms close to his body as if to keep his rib cage from rattling.

Trampled by Turtles is an interesting band in terms of being a popular musical act. They have a front man in Dave Simonett on lead vocal and guitar, but every member is an intricate part of their bluegrass success: Ryan Young of fiddle, Tim Saxhaug on acoustic bass, Erik Berry on Mandolin, Dave Carroll on banjo and Eamonn McLain on cello.

TBT started off the evening with “It’s So Hard to Hold On” and “Starting Over”. Then they featured a song from their latest album Alpenglow. “A Lifetime to Find” is actually a Wilco cover, but the lead singer of the band, Jeff Tweedy, suggested adding it to the collection while producing the album. Tweedy has always admired TBT and didn’t think twice when they asked for help when looking to expand and refine their sound.

Legend has it the impetus to form a bluegrass band in Duluth, MN came out of necessity when Simonett had all of his musical equipment stolen, leaving him with an acoustic guitar. From there only musicians with acoustic instruments need apply. And over twenty years TBT has stayed within the confines of the bluegrass tradition while exploring ways to merrily push the envelope.

Throughout the evening TBT moved between songs that highlight their fast-paced musical style like “Wait So Long” to more pensive and introspective songs like “Central Hillside Blues”. And being completely acoustic there was plenty of time between songs where they tuned and re-tuned their instruments, giving respite to a crowd electrified by the highflying solos of Young on the fiddle.

Then there was “Sounds Like a Movie”, written by Carroll, featuring his banjo solo buttressed by the rest of the band and a spectacular light show that could have easily topped any heavy metal act playing across the street at US Bank Stadium.

But the highlight of the evening was TBT inviting Alan Sparhawk and his electric guitar onto the stage to play “When I Go Deaf”. Sparkhawk of Duluth’s Low recently lost his wife and musical partner, Mimi Parker to cancer, and it was a moving experience to see him singing one of his songs, playing his electric guitar, surrounded by friends, a tribute that was brief but will be long remembered.

Minneapolis: This Week (11/27/2022)

Here are some shows, this week, in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. A couple of cancellations this week: Rose City Band and Rosali show at Turf Club (11/22) and Mac DeMarco at Palace Theatre (11/23) are both cancelled.

Thursday, November 24, is Thanksgiving, so nothing is really going on. Unlike previous years, stores are closed for “Black Thursday”, so you’ll have to wait until the next day for Black Friday.

Raffaella

at 7th St Entry

Recently Raffaella released her new single/video for “Grown Up”, directed by Nathan Castiel.

Raffaella (30 Sep 2019)

We saw Raffaella in Sep 2019 and wrote, “New York’s Raffaella (with live backing band bassist Charlie and drummer Alonso) opened up the show with a very brief 30-min set. This was the singer/songwriter’s first time in Minneapolis, and she started her set with her first single, “Bruce Willis” (which she jokingly called it “yippee ki-yay motherf***er”). Although she’s still very new to the music scene (with only one EP called Ballerina released in August 2019 via Mom+Pop), you can tell that she’s been performing for a while now. It probably won’t be long until she’s back in town, and with a strong audience support, given that she’s won over quite a few fans in the audience.”

Although it was her first time in Minneapolis in 2019, she quickly adopted the city as one of her “two hometowns”, as mentioned below. Minneapolis must have been very good to the singer.

Hank (aka Sara L’Abriola) and Ryann to open. Ryann is the moniker for New York-born, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Victoria Ryann Zaro, who is also in the band Peach Fuzz.

Raffaella writes:
