SUMMARY:Joe Carey
DESCRIPTION:“Carey plays vocal-driven\, guitar-heavy stuff reminiscent of what would happen if The Black Crowes played a friend’s barbecue. It’s upbeat\, driving rock for the kind of folks who say the Foo Fighters are the best thing Dave Grohl has ever done\, and the kind of folks who mean it. That’s the thing to take away from Carey: He knows what he likes\, and that’s what he plays.” -The Onion’s A.V. Club \njoecareymusic.com

Here\, Grammy-nominated duo Wil Baptiste and Kev Marcus redefine the possibilities of music by merging classical depth with hip-hop’s pulse. Also\, this tour captures the essence of returning to where it all began—transformed and reimagined. Each powerful performance invites audiences to reflect on their own journeys\, discovering that even as we evolve\, we’re often drawn back to our roots with renewed purpose.  \nFrom high school orchestra classmates to groundbreaking artists\, Black Violin’s path reflects resilience\, creativity\, and the courage to challenge expectations.

There\, they both attended Dillard High School of the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. (Baptiste originally wanted to play saxophone in the band. However\, the orchestra teacher assigned him to his class after winning a golf bet with the band instructor.) Classically trained by day\, they faithfully put on their headphones and listened to the hottest rap records each night. Then\, after attending different colleges\, they reconvened\, moved into an apartment together\, and started trying to produce other musicians. \nThey developed an act covering hip-hop songs on their violins\, which became popular in local clubs. Two years after sending in a tape to Showtime at the Apollo\, the show invited to appear— which they won\, and kept winning. Since then\, they’ve worked with Alicia Keys\, Alessia Cara\, 2 Chainz\, Lil Wayne\, Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park)\, and more. \nRecommended for fans of 2Cellos\, Lindsey Stirling\, The String Queens and Damien Escobar.

SUMMARY:The New Standards (2nd Show Added!!)
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 7:00 PM for Dinner and Drink service.\n\n\nMinnesota stalwarts The New Standards create an intriguing blend of everything from classic cabaret to punk rock\, from the freedom of jazz\, to the soul of pop and rock. They make it work through offbeat humor and sheer musicianship. The instrumentation is simple: John Munson of Trip Shakespeare/Semisonic fame on bass; Chan Poling\, founder of the new-wave group The Suburbs on piano; and Steve Roehm on vibes. Chan and John split the singing. A footstomp here\, a shout-out there\, a fiery solo\, and it’s cooked. Simple\, elegant\, illuminating. \nChan Poling: Piano\, Vocals \nJohn Munson: Bass\, Vocals \nSteve Roehm: Vibraphone \nThe New Standards is a “revelatory” (StarTribune) Twin-Cities-based trio with a global following. Formed in 2005 as an off-shoot project between three Minneapolis-based musicians and friends\, The New Standards has grown into a globe-spanning adventure — filling theaters and clubs and spawning several CDs\, videos\, cartoons\, and dance and theater projects that have charmed and delighted an ever-multiplying legion of faithful fans. \n“As a trio\, they have made a practice of dressing up punk and pop classics – “I Will Dare” by the Replacements gets a place in the pantheon – in jazz arrangements that overlay piano\, upright bass and vibraphone…The DNA of the band and its members has its feet firmly rooted into punk/pop culture.” – NY Times\nwww.thenewstandards.com

SUMMARY:Ana Popovic at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:“one helluva guitar player” – Bruce Springsteen\n  \nLos Angeles-based\, critically acclaimed guitarist and singer Ana Popovic released her latest album\, Dance To The Rhythm\, in 2025. Here\, the album showcases a groundbreaking fusion of groove\, blues\, funk\, and soul.  \nBuilding on the success of her previous work\, Dance To The Rhythm pushes boundaries. There\, she seamlessly blends infectious dance grooves with raw blues guitar and powerful lyrics. The album weaves a rich tapestry of musical styles\, reflecting Popovic’s masterful versatility.  \nAna says: “One of my biggest strengths on stage is my ability to make people dance. Music should take you to a place where you can let go\, feel the groove\, and move. You want music to grab you\, to have a pocket that you can’t resist. Everything else revolves around it. Blues guitar has never really been part of dance music before\, and in that way\, it’s revolutionary. Guitar plays a central role in these tracks\, breaking down the boundaries created by time\, culture\, and musical traditions. With this album\, I’m pushing those boundaries.” For Ana\, blues guitar is the foundation of everything in her music. Yet\, she masterfully blends genres\, effortlessly shifting from blues to dance\, jam band\, funk\, pop\, and even gospel. Thus\, it’s all part of her evolving sound.  \nA true pioneer\, Ana combines her blues guitar roots with bold experimentation\, redefining the intersection of blues and dance music. Her live performances are electrifying\, blending fierce guitar work with irresistible rhythms that compel audiences to move.  \nShe’s received seven Blues Music Awards nominations\, and her latest album\, 2023’s Power\, hit Number One on the Billboard Blues Chart. Additionally\, Ana has shared stages with legends like B.B. King\, Joe Bonamassa\, Warren Haynes\, Robert Plant\, and Gary Clark Jr. \nRecommended for fans of Joe Bonamassa\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Buddy Guy and Eric Gales.
