Dilly Dally Alley (not to be confused with Canada’s Dilly Dally, who we saw in
April 2016) is having their CD release show for their debut album
Make You Whole at the Turf Club, in St Paul, on May 17th.
The band is singer Sophia Spiegel, keyboardist Will Kjeer, bassist Maxwell Voda, and drummer Kevin Yetter.
Freaque,
Rabeca and
PRINTS to open.
Excerpt from The Current’s
10 Minnesota musicians with fresh music for April:
Dilly Dally Alley is a Minneapolis-based, queer femme-led band, self-described as “eternally seeking out the perfect groove.” Listening to their song “Give Yourself Up to Yourself” I was instantly captivated by lead singer Sophia Spiegel’s smooth vocals, which are reminiscent of Lianne La Havas. The music fuses funk, jazz, and neo-soul. Their debut album Make You Whole will be out May 12, and it promises to be packed with “infectious grooves and upbeat lyrics” as well as vulnerable lyrics exploring themes of rejection, collective strength, and wisdom. Their release show is at Turf Club on May 17. -NT

Japanese artist
Hiromi is doing a two-night (four shows) residency at the Dakota Jazz Club in downtown Minneapolis. The classical and classical composer (often fused with rock-inspired or pop music) is touring in support of
Silver Lining Suite.
Joining her on stage will be Hadrien Feraud, Gene Coye and Adam O’Farrill.
As with Dakota Jazz Club, we suggest you show up early to grab a bite to eat (the Dakota is a world class restaurant) or drink and wait for the band to come on stage. There will be an early and a late show.

at Icehouse

David Wax Museum is playing at the Icehouse on May 19, in support of the duo’s new album
You Must Change Your Life (Nine Mile Records).
The album’s title comes from a near death experience when David Wax suffered a sudden and inexplicable collapse. “Lying there on that stretcher the thing that kept running through my mind was: at least we made You Must Change Your Life,” Wax recalls. “Whatever else happened, I felt at peace because this record exists.”
Neopolitan to open.
