The Aster Cafe 125 S.E Main Street, MinneapolisSince forming in 2006, The High 48s have been making music that combines the soulful sound of classic bluegrass with a modern attitude, original songs and a wide range of influences far beyond Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, and Flatt and Scruggs.In a genre created and dominated by artists from the South, The High 48s were born and raised in the Upper Midwest. And in a music scene where playing standards is the norm, The High 48s are a band of songwriters who perform their own material in addition to the “festival favorites.”Music 11am - 1pm
Ryan Picone Quartet
Winona Arts Center 228 East 5th Street, WinonaSwinging, sensual, moody, rousing — Ryan Picone Quartet’s music follows the trail of Django Reinhardt’s Gypsy jazz.Ryan Picone QuartetRyan Picone Quartet is a group that was put together to showcase the original compositions of Ryan Picone. The music has been written throughout different time periods in his life, and represents his connection to the music of Django Reinhardt.

This group is an all star group that brings together a new transfiguration of Jazz.In 2023 the Ryan Picone Quartet released their debut album titled - I Awake dedicated to the legendary Django Reinhardt. The album has received great praise from the Django community including author Michael Dregni. In 2024 RPQ played their first Django Festival along side with musicians like Joscho Stephan and Sam Farthing.CD Liner notes:The songs on this album are connected to a musical journey that spans several years of my life. The album’s title, I Awake, is an allusion to the great Django Reinhardt, to whom the album is dedicated. Each song, represents a story, a time, a place, a person, a moment, or a feeling - and the album as a whole explores the paradoxical and circular nature of beginning and end.Review by author; Michael Dregni."Swinging, sensual, moody, rousing — Ryan Picone Quartet's music follows the trail of Django Reinhardt's Gypsy jazz. Listening to these tracks, you can almost smell the campfire smoke and see the nighttime lights of Paris burning on the horizon. Bon voyage!"www.ryanpicone.comYouTube:https://youtube.com/channel/UCOObzW3425-3GpMX5MxHI4g?si=CzuQlEFN_e4NPwcESpotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/2haADtcyLeiW19xT3N80QS?si=Y9hxq-6WSLW5ZWdAEc0MSA
