Year five of the festival celebrates the famed New Orleanian clarinetist and soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet. You’ll hear his music\, starting with the 1923 hit “Kansas City Man Blues” with Clarence Williams\, through the swinging 1940 quartet with Muggsy Spanier\, the spectacular fireworks of his jazz duels with Louis Armstrong\, all the way to the beautiful 1950s compositions recorded with French jazz orchestras\, which sold more records than the French pop stars of the day. \n \nPaired with this year’s festival is the exciting CD release of Les Oignons\, Southside Aces’ newest recording! Ten tracks of Sidney’s hits. All Bechet\, all day!\n \nDedication\nThis festival is dedicated to Dr. Henry Blackburn\, who opened all our eyes and ears to the amazing world of Sidney Bechet. \n\n \nSouthside Aces\nYour magnanimous Jazz Age Rumpus hosts\, Southside Aces\, are a Twin Cities institution. For over two decades they’ve brought to life the early New Orleans of Jelly Roll Morton\, the Chicago joys of Louis Armstrong\, the evocative compositions of the young Duke Ellington\, on up to the barrel house sounds of Preservation Hall and the early rock and roll of Fats Domino. Their belief in the contemporary vitality of New Orleans music led to the 2022 release of their eighth album\, Minneapolis Bump\, containing fifteen originals in the style. 2026 will see the release of two more albums: Les Oignons\, the band’s spotlight on the music of Sidney Bechet\, and The Big Beat\, the album you most want to spin at your next New Orleans party. \n \n“By the end of the night\, it felt like the members of Southside Aces were longtime friends of my soul.”\n–From the blog girlattherockshows.com\n \nSidney & Muggsy\nSoprano saxophonist and clarinetist Sam Skavnak leads this quartet created exclusively for Jazz Age Rumpus to bring you the music of the Bechet Spanier Big Four. Those 1940 recordings showed Bechet in a new setting — working with just cornet and a hot club rhythm section of guitar and bass — to create an incredibly light but fiery swing. Taking on the role of cornetist Muggsy Spanier is Dan Eikmeier\, while guitar virtuoso\, Sam Miltich\, and his bassist father\, Matthew Miltich\, provide that propulsive hot club rhythm.\n \n“If you’re hearing this music for the first time\, keep those ears open wide — this is the real thing!”\n-Dan Morgenstern review of the original recordings\n \nThe Boat Note Five with special guest Sam Skavnak\nSince 2018\, The Boat Note Five has dedicated themselves to Louis Armstrong\, celebrating the genius and ebullience of the man who changed music forever. The name of the band is drawn from one of Louis’ many nicknames\, and their repertoire is taken from his nearly fifty-year recording career\, starting with the groundbreaking music he made in the 1920s. The band has three members from Southside Aces: Tony Balluff\, clarinet; Dan Eikmeier\, trumpet; and Dave Michael\, drums. Rounding out the quintet are Josh Granowski on string bass and Rick Carlson on piano. Special for Jazz Age Rumpus: soprano saxophonist Sam Skavnak joins the band to help recreate the epic Louis Armstrong/Sidney Bechet jazz battles.\n \n“Boxing had Ali and Frazier. Jazz had Armstrong and Bechet.”\n-Louis Armstrong biographer Ricky Riccardi\n \nTony Balluff\nFounder and director of Jazz Age Rumpus\, Tony is a clarinetist and composer focusing on early jazz. He received his higher education in traditional jazz from local legends\, The Hall Brothers Jazz Band\, including Charlie DeVore and Butch Thompson\, with a concentration on Sidney Bechet from Dr. Henry Blackburn. He leads many bands in his efforts to bring the Jazz Age into the 21st Century.\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n			\n					\n\n \n \n \n\n\nThis 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.

For More Information visit www.ZenArcadeTHC.com \n\n\n\n\n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n \n \nThe Belfast Cowboys—\n\nThe Belfast Cowboys are a nine-piece\, horn-driven band from Minneapolis that specializes in the music of Van Morrison – mixing rock\, blues\, roots and soul sounds.  They have become one of Minnesota’s (and The Hook & Ladder’s) most popular bands.\n \nLed by veteran songwriter and guitarist Terry Walsh and powered by a four-piece horn section\, the Cowboys have flourished in the renowned Minnesota music scene\, and have consistently packed houses and wowed crowds since 2002.\n \nTerry Walsh got his start playing in various Twin Cities rock bands and toured as Slim Dunlap’s bass player in 1997\, opening for Son Volt. In 2001\, the idea to form a Van Morrison tribute band was formed\, and Terry spent the rest of the year learning Van songs and building an all-star band\, with Joe Lockton on keyboards and Vic Volarerunning the horn section. The band played their first show at the old 400 Bar on Saint Patrick’s Day 2002.\n \nMany musicians played with the band over the first few years\, and continue to do so today\, but the ‘A’ team was soon established: Dan Kowalke on guitar and backing vocals\, Joe Baumgart (bass)\, Dave Kirby and Dave Haugen (drums\, backing vocals)\, Joe Loskota(keyboards\, backing vocals)\, Paul Gronert (sax)\, Matt Hanzelka(trombone)\, Tim Martin (trumpet)\, Vic Volare(sax\, flute) and Terry Walsh (lead vocals\, guitar\, harmonica\, piano).\n \nThe band has expanded its content over the years to include rock and soul covers along with Terry’s own originals\, which have become fan favorites. Now a beloved staple in Minnesota\, the 9-piece Belfast Cowboys averaged over 120 shows a year before the pandemic. The bar-tested troubadours are known for playing epic sets at their weekly Minneapolis gigs and drawing large crowds to outdoor festivals. Occasionally they’ll venture beyond the Midwest to play Ireland\, Phoenix\, New York’s Times Square\, and once opened for the band Chicago in front of 15\,000 people.\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n

For More Information visit www.ZenArcadeTHC.com \n \n \n\n\n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n\n\n \nKFAI 90.3FM & Nobool PresentsLos Straitjackets & Deke Dickerson \n‘Rockin’ Dance Party’ \n—–\n\nGet ready for a one-of-a-kind night of high-octane surf\, rockabilly\, and roots rock as Los Straitjackets and Deke Dickerson join forces for a Rockin’ Dance Party at The Hook & Ladder Theater.\nThe masked masters of instrumental rock\, Los Straitjackets\, bring their world-renowned “combo sound” — shimmering guitars\, driving rhythms\, and pure retro energy — while Deke Dickerson\, the Ameripolitan Musician of the Year\, delivers his signature blend of rockabilly swagger and vintage soul. \n—— \n\nLos Straitjackets are masters of the ‘combo sound-‘ the two guitar\, bass and drums lineup pioneered and popularized by the early Beatles. Using the music of The Ventures\, The Shadows\, Link Wray and Dick Dale as a jumping off point\, the band has taken their unique\, high energy brand of instrumental rock & roll around the world. \n \nWearing their trademark Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling masks\, Los Straitjackets have also served as the backing band for Nick Lowe since 2016. Their latest release\, Somos Los Straitjackets demonstrates why Los Straitjackets have reigned as the kings of modern instrumental rock for over thirty years with shimmering tremolo\, relentless drum grooves\, and hooks so catchy they don’t need lyrics to get stuck in your head.\n \nDeke Dickerson is a West Coast musician\, singer\, and author specializing in vintage roots music\, including rockabilly\, honky-tonk\, blues\, and garage rock. He was named Ameripolitan Musician of the Year. \n \nEqual parts sincere archivist and irreverent innovator\, Dickerson imbues his recordings with considerable production sense\, droll humor\, and doubleneck-guitar know-how to spare. He’s a skilled singer-songwriter with an impressive knack for recasting old tunes. Moreover\, after honing his skill with a variety of bands\, he has emerged as one of his genre’s finest interpreters. \n
