Formally established in 1927, the Walker Art Center began as the first public art gallery in the Upper Midwest. The museum's focus on modern art began in the 1940s, when a gift from Mrs. Gilbert Walker made possible the acquisition of works by important artists of the day, including sculptures by Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Alberto Giacometti, and others. During the 1960s, the Walker organized increasingly ambitious exhibitions that circulated to museums in the United States and abroad.

My neighborhood Bar and a Institution.
Located on the corner of 26th and Lyndale in Minneapolis, The CC Club has been a cultural hot spot for generations. Built right after the Prohibition ended and originally named the CC Tap in 1934, the CC Club received its new name when Moe Emard became the owner in 1975. With over 47 years experience in the industry, Moe knew how to keep the local patrons happy - especially top Twin Cities bands such as Soul Asylum and the Replacements - and Famous Hollywood faces like Darryl Hannah and Tom Arnold (a frequent visitor when he lived in Minneapolis).

The location is small yet they have everything you need. Hum's will always carry a special place in the hearts of many that have grown up in the South Minneapolis neighborhood. Maybe it's the central location on 21st and Hennepin (it's right across the street from the Wedge Co-op), or the cool retro signage, or more likely the fact that they deliver and fast! It's a true Institution.

EIGHT HEAD!!!!
Restlessly peripatetic, incessantly improvisational and always brilliant - that ain't no forehead, that's an eight head! Eight Head is percussionist Marc Anderson, bassist Jim Anton, drummer J.T. Bates, and guitarist Dean Magraw; purveyors of a remarkably fresh, jaw droppingly sophisticated and infectiously groovy vibe. They bring vast experience and variety onto the stage, making effortless transitions from soft textures and thoughtful improvisation to infectious polyrhythms and driving funk.
I Love these guys so much! I have felt out of body with their music and have been moved to tears.. they also ROCK IT OUT! And you gotta DANCE! Amazing amazing group!

SONGS FOR DIEGO
Born September 23rd 1995
Passed on June 5th 2002
"Songs for Diego is a wondrous and captivating tribute to a beautiful child. This cd is your hearts prayer in words and music. An evocative and emotional journey that touches ones spirit. The music is cathartic and transformative , a feast of love , peace and passion. Your inner reflections and heartfelt creative energy are a testament to the authentic and eternal connection you share with your son. Like a gentle morning mist and the dawn of a newborn sun - Songs for Diego - awakens one to a new day where heart centered communication and love for humanity reign supreme."
~Michael Teal
"Known in Twin Cities reggae and world-music circles for his percussion skills, Mick LaBriola reinvents himself as a guitar-wielding singer/songwriter on the album “Songs for Diego, I’m Missing You.†Inspired by the crushing loss of his 6-year-old son in a 2002 car accident, the CD is heartfelt, loving and occasionally spooky, laced with between-song snippets of Diego’s voice, then augmented beautifully with violin and percussion parts, even some oud playing. There are several impressive confessional folk numbers, including the gripping title track, and one slice of cool reggae dub, “Live In You.â€"

Mojo Roots
"Prakriti's Kiss"
© 2004 Mojo Roots
This dynamic Trio were created to provide a musical alternative to the home grown, agriculturally provocative, party-down atmosphere of the Minnesota State Fair. By blending the familiar musical genres of each player, MOJO ROOTS coagulated a simmering concoction of R & B, Blues, Reggae, Ska, Second Line, & International Rhythms/Grooves. The result was an overwhelming Audience responce that culminated into the groups 1st CD project, "Prakritis Kiss". The song list contains familar Cover Tunes, however the treatment is always MOJO ROOTS or as we like to say; MOJOFIED!
..Ancestor Energy "Allwhere"
© 2004 Ancestor Energy
"The musical compositions are brilliant: Carei Thomas has scaled the heights and brings back proof. The gathered musical talent speak back to the composition with stunning performances. Louis Alemayehu's poetry and voice and voice work is possessed, spirited: functioning precisely the way it should. Leading us through those labyrinths of discovery. Guiding us. Haunting us. These are favorites lined up waiting for you here. But be soul prepared. This is true flight. Destination: Allwhere."
~Alex Pate
"Ancestor Energy. Dynamics is the operative word here....Ancestor Energy offers a fairly unique amalgam of bristling post-Coltrane jazz, taut social commentary, potent poetics, striking melodies, and freewheeling yet insistent rhythms. Few groups have combined verse and jazz music with more art and less artificiality. Ancestor Energy joins a very short list of underground heroes, including the Last Poets, Jayne Cortez, Archie Shepp and the AACM's Shadow Vignettes big band. Louis Alemayehu writes stirring, machete sharp poems, and he really can emote - Alemayehu is that rarity among men, a great reader. Carei Thomas and the rest of the accompanying musicians match the funky poet's fire with scripted and spur-of-the-moment improvisation sparks of their own. And the whole is definitely greater that the sum of it's parts. Ancestor Energy is truly an experience, a no-drugs-necessary head trip."

KOERNER, RAY and GLOVER!!!
Began playing in early 1960. They were never much concerned with making it BIG though. Opportunities came and just as quickly went. They were fixtures on the West Bank/Minneapolis scene, as comfortable playing in bars as at the Guthrie Theater.
Sadly Dave "Snaker" Ray passed on Thanksgiving 2002.

TONY GLOVER
MICHAEL MONROE
His unique creation of music leaves his audiences mesmerized as he blends his rich vocals, guitar, bamboo and glass flutes, combining musical styles of acoustic folk and jazzy reggae. Michael's original music and compelling energy bring a powerful style that is as much fun as it is innovative,,, music and technology working together powered by creativity... and he recycles his music on stage with his "live" layering/looping technique.
