Swing Brunch with Patty and the Buttons $6
Swing Brunch with Patty and the Buttons $6
Patty and The Buttons preach the gospel of hot rhythm and happy feet. The band is similar to what you would find in a dance hall, cafe or nightclub anywhere around the world between 1920-1940. Despite being an ensemble firmly rooted in tradition, the band presents their music without being shackled to history. They play their own compositions as well as takes on music of the era. Patty’s eclectic taste gives the band diverse influences including New Orleans Traditional Jazz, Western Swing, Gypsy Melodies, Ragtime Piano Blues, Jug Music and 1930′s Popular Song. The core instrumentation of accordion, clarinet, guitar and bass is light and swift, but also melancholic and lush when it needs to be. Patty, mostly known as an accordionist doubles as the bands vocalist. His voice is inspired most by the old time hollers and croons from the dawn of recording once described as “Tom Waits meets Rudy Vallee.” More than anything, The Buttons is a group that is always enjoying themselves… Which seems to give audiences permission to do the same.

Linnea Grace w. Casey Gerald, Hattie Peach
Raised on Eminem and the Beatles, my music is full of emotionally charged lyrics with catchy melodies. Chorally trained vocals with a pop-like-attitude gives my sound a unique balance between the two genres. I’m a full time mother to the sweetest boys who are my whole world (outside of music) and we live in the beautiful little town of St. Paul.

This Minneapolis-based band has a rich history in the music scene, having recorded 14 albums and written and produced a number of hit songs, including the chart topping “Upper Mississippi Shakedown.” The Cranstons have shared bills with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Charles Brown, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, Jonny Lang, Little Feat, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Animals II, Kansas, Yes, Bonnie Raitt, The Blues Brothers and many more. One of the biggest thrills was opening for The Rolling Stones on a leg of their North American tour in 1981. In 2010, the band was inducted into the Mid-America Music Hall Of Fame. The band has also been featured regularly on Dan Aykroyd’s House Of Blues Radio Show. In fact, Aykroyd (the original Blues Brother!) is quite fond of Cranston, proclaiming, “No one infects venues with the party virus quite like Pat Hayes and The Lamont Cranston Blues Band. They’ve always been my favorite.” “It’s great to hear Lamont Cranston back on the scene. Pat Hayes plays some of the baddest harp and guitar around!” –Bonnie Raitt LamontCranston.com

Early Show w. Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘Em Deep, Tempest Foundation, Shoveler
Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘em Deep Bio: From the ashes of such bands as Seymore Saves the World, Superdanger, Me and My Arrow, and Beasthead, rises a dark and brooding indie-western soundtrack for your apocalypse. Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘em Deep have combined to create hellish landscapes of a dystopian nightmare while not forgetting the righteous influences of old school country, indie-pop, and noise rock. The resulting sound is one of Johnny Cash, Phil Collins, and Godspeed You Black Emperor, fighting a bloodless three way cage match for superiority. No one wins but you, when you dig the music of Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘em Deep.

“I’m down, but I ain’t out.” That’s the story of my life it seems. Most recently the theme of a new album and a new lease on life I’ve been granted. “I’m down, but I ain’t out.” That’s the story of my life it seems. Most recently the theme of a new album and a new lease on life I’ve been granted. On March 11th, 2022, I celebrated my 37th birthday as well as the release of my debut solo record on CD and all the other major streaming platforms. Not bad for a guy who had put his guitar away and was ready to put his life to rest. “Down But Not Out V.01” has a honkytonk/90’s neo-traditional style of country music featuring lots of pedal steel and fiddle that is influenced as much by Social Distortion and Atmosphere as it is by artists like Dwight Yoakam, Hank Williams, and Jamey Johnson.

This special concert features Trevor McSpadden and Ali Gray, backed by The DL4. Trevor McSpadden and The DL4 will perform many of Merle’s biggest hits and lesser known songs. They capture the spirit of a performer that refused to bend to country music convention and helped create the Bakersfield sound. In a career that spanned more than 50 years, Merle Haggard racked up an astounding 38 number one country hits and every major award imaginable. You’ll hear songs like “Mama Tried,” “Okie From Muskogee,” “I’m A Lonesome Fugitive” and many others that continue to inspire new generations of artists and fans alike. Trevor McSpadden worked Central Texas dance halls before perfecting his hard honky-tonk sound in the nightclubs of Chicago. Moving to California in early 2014, Trevor made short work of ingratiating himself to the Golden State. Now based out of Saint Paul, McSpadden’s carefully crafted twang is at home in both beer joints and listening rooms, inspiring audiences to dance and carry on in the time-honored way. Ali Gray and The DL4 will honor Loretta Lynn’s greatest songs; “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” “You’re Lookin’ At Country,” “One’s on the Way,” “The Pill,” and many more! Along with a few Conway Twitty duets (featuring Dan Neale) like “After the Fire is Gone” and “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.” Loretta’s life story reads more like fiction than fact. A poorly educated woman from the coal-mining hills of Kentucky, married at age fifteen and a mother at sixteen, she became one of country music’s most popular performers and broke ground for numerous female singers who followed her. Ali Gray has been writing songs and performing in various bands for over 25 years. With 5 studio albums under her belt, Ali continues to release new singles reguarly. When she isn’t writing and recording, you can find her singing full-time in on of her multiple projects: Ali Gray’s Country Jamboree, Ali & Joe, DRUNCH!, Twang Time, Martin Zellar’s Neil Diamond Tribute, Tim Sigler’s All Churched Up, Parrothead Paradise, Two Hicks and a Chick, and Mish Mash.Ali is also a regular guest co-host on the BOB 106 morning show. DL4 is fronted by Dan Lowinger and includes some of the regions best musicians:* Dan Lowinger (guitar) – Since moving to the Twin Cities in 2017, Dan has become a fixture in the local country and Americana scene, playing on a regular basis with all-star Western swing band Honky Tonk Jump, and country rockers Cole Diamond, while also sharing the stage with local greats Martin Zellar (Gear Daddies), Tony Andreason (The Trashmen), Pat Donohue (Prairie Home Companion) and many others! He has performed regionally and toured nationally with many different country and swing bands from the Pacific Northwest including. * Dan Neale (guitar) – Dan is a guitarist who moves easily from blues and country to pop, jazz, and rock. Fingerpicking, flatpicking — he’s got it covered. Back when he was a high school kid in Chattanooga, he began to think about a career in music. He played in the school band and in a group formed by his brother. That led to work with a slew of bar bands and a full-time stint in country rock group called Rawhide. In 1986, he left Tennessee for Minnesota (“I married a woman who hated hot weather,” he says). As a studio player and sideman, he has worked with Martin Zellar, Bobby Vee, and a host of others. * Ken Wilson (Pedal Steel) – A Twin Cities treasure, Ken has played and/or recorded with acts such as Paulette Carlson of Highway 101, John Hermanson and Chris Cunningham of Storyhill, John McAndrew, Becky Schlegel, and Sherwin Linton. * Erik Lillestol (Bass) – Erik is a long-standing freelance Twin Cities bass player, most notably playing the french and gypsy-influenced jazz of the Cafe Accordion Orchestra. * Scott Wenum (Drums) – Scott is a high demand twin cities drummer who plays with Martin Zellar and many others. #gap-287742486 { padding-top: 30px; } #gap-1105592743 { padding-top: 22px; } #image_727349156 { width: 100%; } This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. #col-1972958036 > .col-inner { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px -21px 0px; } #row-611930636 > .col > .col-inner { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #col-1167755805 > .col-inner { margin: 0px 0px -27px 0px; } #row-968194576 > .col > .col-inner { padding: 0px 0px 15px 0px; }

“Just as powerful as Fitz & the Tantrums vocalist Michael Fitzpatrick, Church’s treated falsetto is always in control… On the piano-laced title track, he sounds more like Queen’s Freddie Mercury.”-City Pages’ Erik Thompson

Swing Brunch with Patty and the Buttons $6
Patty and The Buttons preach the gospel of hot rhythm and happy feet. The band is similar to what you would find in a dance hall, cafe or nightclub anywhere around the world between 1920-1940. Despite being an ensemble firmly rooted in tradition, the band presents their music without being shackled to history. They play their own compositions as well as takes on music of the era. Patty’s eclectic taste gives the band diverse influences including New Orleans Traditional Jazz, Western Swing, Gypsy Melodies, Ragtime Piano Blues, Jug Music and 1930′s Popular Song. The core instrumentation of accordion, clarinet, guitar and bass is light and swift, but also melancholic and lush when it needs to be. Patty, mostly known as an accordionist doubles as the bands vocalist. His voice is inspired most by the old time hollers and croons from the dawn of recording once described as “Tom Waits meets Rudy Vallee.” More than anything, The Buttons is a group that is always enjoying themselves… Which seems to give audiences permission to do the same.
