QUIETDRIVE
at Varsity Theater
Saturday 12/27/14, 7pm ($20)
varsitytheater.org
Remember how I saw Hope Country and told you that his next appearance will be at the Quietdrive's show at the Varsity Theater? Well, that's this show, taking place December 27th.
Hopkins-based Quietdrive formed in 2002 and apparently have done an Annual Holiday show since 2004 (as this is the band's 10th Annual Holiday Show). Their major label debut album When All That's Left Is You came out on 2006, but since 2009, have gone back to their independent roots.
Their upcoming The Ghost of What You Used to Be is expected to come out digitally on December 16th, via Sneaker 2 Bombs.
Expect some special surprise this year:

Vocalist Aby Wolf, bassist Nick Gaudette, guitarist Kyle Sobczak, fiddler Sara Pajunen, and saxophonist Nathan Hanson, are the musicians participating in the inaugural MN Express tour.
The Cedar wrote how all these artists came together:
These songwriter/composers are all former participants of The Cedar's 416 Club Commissions Program which is funded by the Jerome Foundation and designed to support the creation of new works by Minnesota’s emerging artists. Each show was a unique collaborative performance that presented an evolved version of the artists’ commissioned works as well as new material created for the tour.
Now, after touring Austin, Duluth, Grand Rapids, Morris, and Northfield, the MN Express comes home to The Cedar, and gives the Twin Cities a chance to see what their outstate neighbors have been enjoying!
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and culture heritage fund.
