3rd Annual Freedy Johnston w/ Molly Maher opening

Sunday March 1 at Parkway Theater

Our third annual gathering of gear nerds. Freedy and I disguise this night as a show but basically it's a way for us to enjoy a great meal together and nerd out on gear. He has a local band of the kindest gear nerds and I bring Murray and this year we are adding a Blair bonus. Freedy's stories are as incredible as his songs. This time around he is celebrating 25 years of the seminal record “Can You Fly” . The Parkway is a gem of a venue and staff. So it all has potential of a good night.

Musical Interlude for John Grisham

MPR's Talking Volumes

The photo: snapped by greats Dan Gjelten/Lisa Burke. I had the honor last month of being the musical interlude for author John Grisham as part of MPR’s “Talking Volume” series, hosted by Keri Miller. I used it as a writing prompt and brought out a new song. Having only a synopsis from his new book "The Widow” , I wrote  what I thought the book may be about. Called it "Million Dollar Fool” and took a creative plunge performing it for the first time in front of a literary loving audience at the Fitzgerald. Really needed to shake out this writing sweater and jump in. Worth it? Sure

Erik Koskinen Band w/ Amy Lavere & Will Sexton with Molly Maher

Icehouse Mpls Friday Sept 26

Incredibly excited for this night to happen. When my husband Ryan and I very first started dating, Amy's record was the first record I played to impress him. Amy has woo'ed me with her fluid bass playing, her untroubled voice and impeccable lyrics.

Will is one of my favorite songwriters and guitarists. His last record slayed me. One of Austins' greats. Love that these two have combined forces both musically and personally. We had great times with these two from the old Real-Phonic days, and heck anytime they are in town. Please come to this show. Just do it. I'll be opening the night as a duo but probably trio. Of corse we all know Erik Koskinen will deliver us into the night with his musical prowess.
