Lamont Cranston at Crooners

The Belvedere at Crooners 6161 Highway 65 NE, Minneapolis

Dinner and cocktail seating and service begins 90 minutes before showtimes. Local Legend Rockers Pat (Lamont) Hayes, with his brother Larry, founded Lamont Cranston in 1969. 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

Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society: ORSON WELLES’ DRACULA at Crooners

Main Stage Showroom 6161 Hwy 65 NE, Minneapolis

Dinner and cocktail seating and service begins 1 hour before showtimes. Staged Radio Drama The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society celebrates the spooky season with Orson Welles’ 1938 adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, recreated in the style of a classic radio broadcast, complete with commercials, music, and live sound effects. Many consider Welles’ daring, fast-paced take on Stoker’s immortal story to be not just ahead of its time, but one of the greatest adaptations of Dracula ever made. Shanan Custer Joshua English Scrimshaw Tim Uren Eric Webster Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society is an “entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by” (Cherry and Spoon) brought to life by veteran Twin Cities performers Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren and Eric Webster “using their voices to paint a picture so vivid that if you close your eyes you can see the action in your mind’s eye.” (Stages of Minnesota). “An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment… The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” – Pioneer Press GhoulishDelights.com Mysteriousoldradiolisteningsociety.com
