08/07 Maisie Peters with Grace Enger at First Avenue Read More Maisie Peters Rising British pop singer-songwriter Maisie Peters has announced dates for her first North American headline tour in support of her acclaimed debut album You Signed Up For This. Tour kicks off in Minneapolis …

Maisie Peters
with Grace Enger
at First Avenue

Maisie Peters (01 Mar 2022)

British pop star Maisie Peters has the #1 UK album for her sophomore album The Good Witch. She is the youngest British female solo act since 2014 to claim a #1, and the youngest artist to claim a #1 since Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour.

We caught Peters in Mar 2022 and said, “English singer/songwriter Maisie Peters sold out the 7th Street Entry, on the first night of her first US tour. In fact, she’s been selling out all of her shows, this is probably thanks to her 100 million streams of her single, “Worst Of You”. ”

Grace Enger (14 Oct 2022)

Grace Enger to open. We Enger on her very first tour in Oct 2022 and wrote, “Enger opened the all-age show with a crowd huddled in close as she sang with guitar in hand, starting off with “Me and You” followed by “Bad Guy.” She then sang a cover of Wheatus’ “Teenage Dirtbag” before someone in the audience asked when she would be releasing her first E.P. That was still a secret. She was just happy to be on her first tour, but she did sing a possible song from the anticipated release, “Neighborhood.””

Dandy Warhols (12 May 2019)

We last saw the Dandies in May 2019 and wrote, “Heads bobbed as 2003’s ‘We Used to Be Friends’ fired up, though not charting in the U.S., people recognized it from its licensing and being the theme to ‘Veronica Mars’, and longtime local fans appreciated the nod to our area in 1997’s ‘Minnesoter’.”

The King Khan & BBQ Show is returning to the Minneapolis area, at the Fine Line Music Café this Sep 2nd.

We’ve seen “Brown James Brown” King Khan solo and Mark Sultan (BBQ) solo, but together, they’re a unique rock force. The last time we saw the duo together was in Nov 2009, at the Triple Rock Social Club and described them as “The King Khan & BBQ Show, they are an interesting modern band with minimalistic setup and plays a weird mixture of 50s doo-wop and Surf music. They've got a ton of fans, who lined up hours before the show.”

Go 96.3 presents Go Show, featuring Smallpools and The Orphan The Poet.

We first caught Smallpools in July 2013 and said, “The turnout to last night show was incredible, especially for a Wednesday. Fans packed in early (always a good sign when there is a line before the doors open), because there were a lot of cross-over fans who wanted to see Smallpools as well as San Cisco. From my understanding, this was Smallpools' very first national tour, so they were quite excited to play Minneapolis for the first time.”

The Jayhawks and their rootsy sound were definitely swimming against the tide when they emerged from a crowded Minnesota music scene in 1985. Over the course of two decades, 9 albums, countless memorable live shows and enough personal drama to fill a couple of Behind the Music episodes, this beloved band soared to heights few ever achieve while winning the hearts and minds of numerous critics, fans and peers in the process.
