Math Emergency is a Saint Paul-based rock band that is perhaps the region’s only band with an all-math professor rhythm section, so you know the time signatures will be complex. Playing mostly originals with a smattering of choice generation X covers, Math Emergency explores themes and topics like Wisconsin hotels, settling for good enough, Judge Judy, and seeing roadside coyotes as troubling omens.

Dinner and drinks service starts 1 hour before showtimes. Art Rock and Jazz Fusion Downbeat-nominated, Galactic Cowboy Orchestra, performs their complex yet musical original pieces with a few choice covers tossed in for good measure. The intricate nature of their music is magnified when they perform sans drums in the intimate setting of the Dunsmore Room. Lisi Wright: Vocals, Electric 5-String ViolinDan Neale: Vocals, Acoustic & Electric GuitarsJohn Wright: Vocals, Bass Guitar Galactic Cowboy Orchestra was started in 2009 by founding member/bass player John Wright. The band was born out of a desire to play technically challenging music derived from John’s influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Dixie Dregs and King Crimson, to name a few. Wright enlisted the aid of guitarist Dan Neale, who brought to the table many deep Jazz influences in his advanced playing and composing style. Along with the band’s first drummer, Mark O’Day, the beginnings of Galactic Cowboy Orchestra were found. Soon after, violinist (and John’s wife) Lisi Wright joined the band with her aggressive “electric guitar player plays violin” style and engaging stage presence. Fast forward 15 years: 6 studio releases and one live release, three Downbeat Nominations, a Minnesota Arts Tour Grant, collaborations with symphony orchestras, thousands of miles of touring and the band has a stronger than ever commitment to create the ultimate musical moment between the players and the audience with their Art Rock/Jazz Fusion creations. “Musically inventive and sonically charged, The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra transported the audience to a new artistic plane. What energy! What joy! What a terrific show!” – Steven Schmidt, former General Manager, City of Rochester Music Department www.galacticcowboyorchestra.com

All tickets purchased will be honored on the new date. *** An Evening with Shannon McNally Grammy nominee Shannon McNally’s live music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990s with bands like Derek Trucks and Railroad Earth. Since then, her catalog has grown to span the whole of the Americana music spectrum, both writing original songs as well as interpreting the songs of others. She brings a soul-stirring musicality to her craft. Her honest and, at times, elegant voice immediately grabs one by the heartstrings. Not to mention as it turns out, she is also an exceptional electric guitar player.   McNally has fourteen albums to her name and a string of single self-releases on her personal label, Queen Maeve Records. Her latest album, “Live At Dee’s,” is a career retrospective song list captured over four nights in September of 2022 with a revolving band of Nashville musicians. Showcasing McNally’s wonderful storytelling and sense of wry humor, the 18-song disc captures her at her most relaxed in her natural habitat of neighborhood Honky Tonk.    For those who have followed McNally’s twenty-plus-year career, the thing that sticks with listeners the most about her is the timeless effortlessness she brings to all she does. With an impressive catalog and extensive list of collaborators with whom she has written, recorded, and toured; McNally continues to turn out great music across wide-flung ends of the spectrum, defying genre-fication. At home on any stage, from Lincoln Center to the juke joints of Mississippi—she always brings the house down.     #gap-659914155 { padding-top: 30px; } #gap-1237397051 { padding-top: 22px; } #image_1120055337 { 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-1645257615 > .col-inner { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px -21px 0px; } #row-1450616792 > .col > .col-inner { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #col-423160939 > .col-inner { margin: 0px 0px -27px 0px; } #row-1796833568 > .col > .col-inner { padding: 0px 0px 15px 0px; }
