We were pretty impressed with Australian artist Dean Lewis when he stopped by the Cities 97 Live at the Lake show on July 11. We recommended his music to fans of Ed Sheeran and Vance Joy: “The late afternoon session proved a fine sampler for Lewis’s upcoming headlining appearance locally on August 6th with full band, and anyone admiring the emotional anthem-ness of singer-songwriters like Ed Sheeran and Vance Joy, are encourage to tune in and get a ticket to Dean Lewis while you can.”

With over 2 billion streams for his #1 hit single, “Be Alright”, expect a good turnout for this upcoming First Avenue show.

James TW to open.

Coming to Mystic Lake Casino is O.A.R., as part of their “The Mighty O.A.R. 2019 Tour”. The last time we saw these rockers, it was at the Basilica Block Party in 2015: “Rockville, MD quartet O.A.R. is very familiar with the Basilica stage and has also done several promotional appearances for Cities 97, so their inclusion to headline the Preferred One stage on Day One, seemed a natural fit. Singer Marc Roberge and band were so “in the zone” playing that they didn’t break until after the sixth song, with Roberge remarking “I always forget to say 'Hi 'because we love playing so much”.”

SURFER BLOOD
at 7th Street Entry
Wednesday 06/14/17 (7pm/$15)
first-avenue.com

We’ve said this before, but Surfer Blood is one of the best live bands out there. Don’t believe me? Read Dena’s account from AthFest 2015: “I have saved what- in my opinion- is the best performance of the festival for last. I am speaking- of course- of Surfer Blood. On Saturday June 27, Surfer Blood dominated the Georgia Theatre and everyone lucky enough to be inside. It was like the second coming of The Beach Boys, with a Weezer-style twist. John Paul Pitts’ enchanting croon took me completely by surprise and transported me to the time I saw Brian Wilson perform Pet Sounds at Chastain Park in Atlanta. Then I remembered the first time I saw Weezer, when The Sweater Song was their first and only single. Taking in my first taste of Surfer Blood, I felt as if I was seeing indie rock history being made all over again, and I was honored to bear witness to such a gift. I am grateful to everyone who encouraged me to see this alternative indie rock band from West Palm Beach, Florida. They are masters of catchy guitar hooks and choruses that you can’t stop singing, much less forget.”

The band is returning to the 7th Street Entry this Wednesday.

Also, it should be noted that their former guitarist Thomas Fekete died in May 2016, at the tender age of 27 to terminal cancer.

Hard to google, Winter will open.

We caught Robyn Hitchcock in April 2017, and one of the minor complaints we had about the show was that he had only an opener’s set time limit.

However, now returning as a headliner at the Turf Club in St Paul, Hitchcock will likely play any songs from his former The Soft Boys and The Egyptians groups (considering that he will play an extra long, or double set).

As previously predicted, the show is sold out!

We caught Gentlemen Hall in 2012 and wrote, “What happened instead was an hour-long attempt to not focus entirely on Michael, who proved himself a force to be reckoned with on stage, displaying the kind of physical zeal usually reserved for the beginning of tour not the end (also displaying the aforementioned tightest, reddest pants in all the land).”

COMMUNION CLUBNIGHT

Tuesday 11/18/14, 7pm
$9.50: turfclub.net

Since the first Minneapolis Communion Clubnight started October 2013, it's only been scheduled at the Varsity Theater. Now with November coming up, they've decided to change venue to the Turf Club in St Paul.

I'm not sure why the venue change, possibly because since Turf Club is own by First Avenue, they may reach a broader audience - and also nearer to those who live in St Paul, Minnesota.

If you've never been to a Communion show, check out this November show featuring Mikhael Paskalev (Norwegian-Bulgarian singer, songwriter and guitarist from Ålesund), Count This Penny (duo Amanda and Allen Rigell from Madison, Wisconsin) and Peter Michael Miller (from We Are the Willows).

I have only seen We Are the Willows before, and I have described their singer, Peter Michael Miller as having a "weird feminine voice".
