The Cherry Pit Presents: Bible Study at Berlin MPLS
The Cherry Pit Presents: Bible Study at Berlin MPLS
Pay What You Can ($15 Suggested) an open jam for musicians and music lovers in the Twin Cities. It’s a social hub for Twin Cities creatives, a training ground to refine musicianship, and a vehicle for high-vibrational improvisation. This is not a free-form basement jam or strictly a jazz jam. Our goal is to find an equilibrium between freedom/fun and excellence. Even if you don’t play an instrument, stop by to experience the warmth and wonder of the show; you never know who might take the stage. Why “𝔅𝔦𝔟𝔩𝔢 𝔖𝔱𝔲𝔡𝔶”? Are we studying holy scripture at the jazz club? … No! Bible Study takes place on Wednesday nights, just like Bible study at church. We are honing our skills and knowledge, gathering with spiritual intent, so we can shred on the weekends in service to a higher power! Whatever that means to you. The house band—Tarek Abdelqader on drums, Henry Breen (Why Not) on bass, Marvelous on piano, and Jovon Williams (Room3) on saxophones—will perform an opening set at each Bible Study. To make this community activity possible, we ask that you contribute musically or financially. Jammers may enter free of charge. For everyone else, entry is pay what you can, with a suggested donation of $15. We will have a house drum kit and a Steinway baby grand piano available for use. Bring your other instruments to the session! This event is made possible by support from Blue Fox Foundation.

Dinner and drinks service starts 1 hour before showtimes. An Evening of Evocative Instrumental Music Sticky melodies layered over funky grooves, with clever arrangements, tasty solos, and plenty of vibraphone! Steve Roehm: Vibraphone Dan Schwartz: Guitar, Vocals Nick Salisbury: Bass Greg Schutte: Drums If you spend some time with the quartet’s music, you won’t be surprised to learn its members are in-demand players around and beyond the Twin Cities. Roehm’s vibes are essential to the imaginatively interpretative trio the New Standards, fronted by Chan Poling (the Suburbs) and John Munson (Semisonic). As a supporting musician, Schwartz has played with many singer-songwriters and acoustic acts, including Dan Navarro and Peter Mayer. Drummer Greg Schutte, in addition to being among the finest jazz drummers in the Twin Cities, has played and toured with Mickey Hart, Chastity Brown, and Ryan Bingham, a gig he shares with NHQT bassist Nick Salisbury. Schutte is also a sound designer and runs a recording studio, Boom Island Recording, where he ably produced the Neighborhood Quartet’s album. The big-eared and agile Salisbury, despite stiff internal competition, must be the group’s most scheduled player; in 2023, he played 353 gigs, and is a particular favorite with songwriters and Americana acts such as Brian Fallon, Sarah Morris, Jack Klatt, and the Dollys. “Add the debut LP by the band of seasoned Twin Cities jazz and rock sidemen to your list of cool instrumental to groove to while getting work done, à la Khrungbin or Hermanos Gutiérrez. Vibraphonist Steve Roehm of The New Standards leads the be-bopping alongside Dan Schwartz’s neo-twangy and sometimes surfy guitar through 10 original tracks you wish were 50 instead; not just so you could get more work done.” – Chris Riemenschneider – Minnesota Star Tribune theneighborhoodquartet.com

Saturday Bluegrass Brunches with The High 48’s ($6 Cover) at Aster
Since 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
