Live Music

Come support Funk N Spuds at their album release show!

Dinner and drinks service starts 1 hour before showtimes. Piano and Vibes Jazz Duo Creative arrangements of jazz standards and pop tunes with Dan Cavanagh and Dave Hagedorn. Dan Cavanagh, Piano Dave Hagedorn, Vibes Dave Hagedorn and Dan Cavanagh first met in 1997 when Dan arrived as an undergraduate student at St. Olaf College. Dave had just been hired as the jazz and percussion professor. Dan is now the director of the School of Music at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Dave retired from St. Olaf in 2020. Their first album, Horizon, was independently released in 2010 by Cavanagh and Hagedorn. The second release, recorded seven years after the first, showcases the maturity, virtuosity, and patience of this group as they continue to explore the intricacies of their vibraphone/piano collaboration. A typical live show by Dave and Dan – unique compositions and arrangements, unpredictable, and the type of improvisation and uncanny interaction that can only come from two musicians who have known each other for over twenty years, hence the name of their second album from 2017, 20 Years. Each time these two play together there is a tangible and pervasive sense of exploration, creativity, and openness to let the music evolve naturally and unexpectedly. “‘Maybe the best gig I ever heard at the AQ’ was the comment I heard from fans who would know.” Andrea Canter, Jazz Police www.dancavanagh.com

Scott Pearson, vocals, guitar Lisa Keith Bernard, vocals Casey Flynn, vocals, guitar Bill Chouinard, bass Rich Manik, sax/flute/keysBob Johnston, drums Spencer Bernard, guitar Jim Demgen, keys Out of a love for 70s music, Lisa Keith Bernard and her husband Spencer Bernard created “Reminiscing.” Lisa has had a prominent career as a session vocalist for Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, working with artists like Janet Jackson, Herb Alpert, Human League, and Amy Grant. In 1993, she scored her own top ten hit “Better Than You,” produced by her husband Spencer. Spencer also wrote and produced songs for Janet Jackson, New Edition, David Bowie, and others. After taking a hiatus to raise their family, Lisa and Spencer are back singing with their own bands: “Reminiscing” and the popular tribute band “I Honestly Love You,” playing the songs of Olivia Newton-John and Anne Murray. Reminiscing features Bob Johnston on drums and Jim Demgen on keys, two members of Lisa’s band seen on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Reminiscing also features local favorites Bill Chouinard (bass) and Rich Manik (sax & flute), who perform with many top Twin Cities bands. Bill also plays with Lisa and Spencer in the “I Honestly Love You” band. Rounding out the lineup are two stellar new vocalists to the tribute scene, Scott Pearson and Casey Flynn, who Lisa and Spencer have known for years – Casey through church and Scott since 1st grade, where they harmonized in choirs and other groups. Together, “Reminiscing” plays the hits you remember from the later 70s. We emphasize the “one-hit wonders” that you know and love but maybe haven’t heard in years. We also recall fun stories and memories that made the 70s such a unique decade. This is the music we grew up with and love, and we can’t wait to “reminisce” with you! “Whether you lived the 70’s or just love the 70’s, come reminisce with us!” reminiscingmusic.com
