Live Music Venues in our Neighborhood
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 2:00AMWhen it comes to live music, there's something for everyone in our neighborhood.
Some of the venues are season specific, such as the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's "Music in the Parks" concert series and Mill City Museum's "Mill City Live" series. Others may be nightly, weekly, or special events you need to watch for.
For example, the Guthrie offers single night engagements, such as Keri Noble on September 27 and Max Weinberg on October 25.
I was surprised to learn in a recent Star Trib article that the Aster Cafe at 125 SE Main Street in St. Anthony Main now offers live music Wednesday thru Saturday.
In addition to recitals, the MacPhail Center for Music hosts special engagements such as the Spotlight Series. This series features MacPhail faculty with special guests, providing an intimate listening experience for lovers of classical, jazz and opera.
The 501 Club has live entertainment at least 5 nights a week. As a general rule the 501 site has links to the performers' sites, allowing you to get a feel for their music if you're not familiar with the name/band.
During the summer, wxzy at the Aloft has live music on Wednesday nights in their courtyard.
The Southern Theater occasionally features music. A winter treat to look forward to is Alisa Weilerstein & Gabriel Kahane on February 18 & 19, 2011. More Info.
Sometimes Grumpy's has live music - call or check online.
We strive to list as many of these shows in the Events section as possible, but inevitably we might miss a few. If you're aware of an upcoming show that is missing from the Events section, please let us know.
