August 9, 2013, Friday - Secret Stash Soul Review at The Guthrie (2 nights)
Time: 7:30pm
Location: Guthrie Theater, Dowling Studio, 818 Second Street South
In late 2012, Minneapolis based Secret Stash Records released Twin Cities Funk & Soul: Lost R&B Grooves from Minneapolis & Saint Paul 1964-1979. The double LP pressing of the compilation came with a massive 12”x12” 32 page tabloid style newspaper packed with liner notes and rare photos.
In the process of researching and licensing the music they got to know the musicians who recorded it in the 60s and 70s. To celebrate the release of the compilation, the label and musicians teamed up to put on a soul revue at The Cedar Cultural Center in September. It was comprised completely of R&B songs from the Minneapolis scene. The sold out event was named “Best Twin Cities Concert of 2012” by City Pages. In mid-January Secret Stash brought their revue to night one of 89.3 The Current’s Birthday party at First Avenue’s Main Room.
The performance was later referred to as “the high note of the parties” by the Star Tribune. The Secret Stash Soul Revue has quickly become a platform on which individual artists are once again gaining prominence.
