Local jazz-rock veterans Terramara are reuniting a large ensemble to deliver a dynamic live performance of their seminal 2005 album Four Blocks To Hennepin in its entirety. The evening will begin with an opening set by the Matt McIntyre Trio. The Terramara quartet of Rob Meany (keys, vocals), David Thomas (drums), Karl Koopman (guitar) and James Towns (bass), will be joined by a horn section and background singers to produce a freshly-orchestrated version of the fourteen-track recording. Formed by local singer-songwriter-keyboardist Rob Meany, Terramara has released three albums, garnering a loyal following among smart-pop lovers worldwide. The band’s sound could be described as somewhere between Steely Dan and Ben Folds. Their second album, Four Blocks To Hennepin, remains an artistic milestone for the band, blending elements of pop, progressive rock, and jazz into an expansive and diverse sonic production. "..The sophomore album is a piano- and horn-driven effort full of tight, poppy harmonies and instrumental jams that could light an incense stick.” — Chris Reimenschneider, Star Tribune. The Matt McIntyre Trio plays all original music written for a custom dual output guitar/bass hybrid. The unique instrumentation lends itself extremely well to Afro-Caribbean and Funk styles, and the original tunes explore as much of those styles as possible. Twin Cities instrumental veterans bring an altered version of the standard organ trio to life for a fresh new style.

A mystical evening w/ Wonderful Bluffer, Afters & Vinny Franco

Sat, Nov 15

6pm Doors 8pm Show Full food an beverage available for this show. 21+ $15 adv (+fees/taxes) $22 doors (+fees/taxes) Milwaukee's own Wonderful Bluffer present a soulful, sultry night of heavy mystical tunes alongside local heavyweights Afters and Vinny Franco. The grooves will be endless and the jams will be magical. Come see why this lineup of incredible bands never disappoints! Wonderful Bluffer: Since their formation in 2018, Wonderful Bluffer has sought nothing more than to disarm and enchant audiences with the undying spirit of rock n’ roll. In the years since, the Milwaukee-based rock band has managed to craft a style of music all their own, with influences spanning many genres. 2021 saw the release of Wonderful Bluffer's first album: Passion & Reason — a 6-song introduction to the musicianship and songwriting talents of the band, proving their commitment to a diverse style encompassing rock n' roll, blues, heavy metal and progressive rock. Known for their high-energy live performances, the band seeks nothing more than to share their music with anyone willing to come and listen to what they have to offer. Shows are consistently filled with dueling guitar and keyboard solos accompanied by howling, ethereal vocals, all supported by the bone crunching rhythms of distorted basses and thunderous drums. 2024 saw the release of their sophomore album Torn by Reflection — an 8 song exploration of war, existentialism, love and the sublime. The album ultimately builds to its final act: City of Lights – an epic progressive rock odyssey reflecting on the curse of industrialism and its effects on human spirituality. In the present day, Wonderful Bluffer continues to perform their brand of top shelf rock n roll, providing electric evenings of entertainment to crowds at renowned venues and festivals across the Midwest and beyond. Their current lineup consists of Joe Joe Scott (Guitar), Adam Rimkus (Bass), Will Matthews (Keys), A.J. Peal (Drums) and Alexandria Sherman (Vocals) afters: afters is a concept. a time and place new and forgotten. it’s laughter, it’s tears. It's indie rock with surprising sensuality, a dark edge with pop sensibilities, a glimpse into the psyche of something lost and found, lost again. It's music for beginnings, and music for the end of the world. come with us, explore the depths of the human experience through eyes that are both ours and yours. There is so little time, and too much emotion to shy away. Let's go beneath the skin and share our collective loneliness. Let's get in the car, roll the windows down, sing our hearts out. We are together, and that is enough. Vinny Franco: Vinny Franco is a vocalist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Minneapolis. With Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Native roots, his music explores the complexities of growing up mixed-race; navigating identity, belonging, and self-expression through sound. He first connected with Latin-inspired rhythms in childhood, later blending them with the jazz, R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop that shaped his artistic growth in adulthood. After years producing music for TV and commercials, Vinny turned inward to create songs that reflect both his heritage and lived experience. Through his work, he hopes to inspire others to chase their creative paths, even when they don’t fit the mold.

An innovator of the instrumental genre, challenger of the stereotypical, son of a truck-stop preacher. His new album, 'I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away' is, Hayden reflects, not a straightforward solo guitar record, but in a sense “a micro-dose psychedelic album." Unafraid to push the parameters of American primitive, the walls of the album’s world are fuzzed-up and glimmering. Pedigo’s trademark, highly skilled guitar compositions, more intricate than ever, are augmented by influences he’s never been able to achieve on previous records, drawing strongly from the uncanny psychedelia of larger-than-life culture in the American South, so often bigger, stranger, more unnerving than fiction. Throughout 'I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away', moments of genre-defying, unapologetic exuberance are carefully balanced with delicacy and intricacy.

Come early, grab a drink, and get ready for a night where Cuba meets Minneapolis meets Brooklyn in pure musical magic! Akie is a Brooklyn native raised in a musical household full of jazz and politics fueled by his former- activist mom and dad. He began singing in church, moved it to school for a while, enroute becoming somewhat of a musical chameleon. His raucous, guttural and soulful vocals are a delectable fusion of Donny Hathaway and Tom Waits. When he's not touring the world with Lake Street Dive, he can be found hiding in coffee shops, or, in this rare case, performing his very own songs on a local Minneapolis stage! Don't miss your chance to see this exceptional talent live in person. (www.akiebermissmusic.com) A powerful singer-songwriter and pianist, Yazmin (www.yazminmusic.com) weaves heartfelt lyrics with Cuban-influenced sounds, shaped by years of study in Havana and deep musical roots from childhood. Her performances are emotionally rich—moving effortlessly from tender ballads to bold, percussive piano lines. Along with her bandmates, Grammy-nominated Álvaro Benavides from New York City on bass and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Gillespie from Minneapolis, MN on drums, she creates a riveting new fusion of Latin-jazz, Funk and Folk/Rock. Originally from Northern Wisconsin, Yazmin grew up surrounded by music as both her parents were professional musicians. At the tender age of 13 she encountered Cuban music for the first time and her life was changed, leading her to a lifelong, rich, heartfelt connection with this country and its culture. In 2023 Yazmin & Beat Zero joined forces with the Havana Quartet (www.havanaquartet.com), made up of Hansel Perez Carrero, Ana Caridad Frómeta, Amaya Fuentes Sarria, and Denise Hernandez Raberio. Founded in 2017, the Havana Quartet has established itself as a leading ensemble in both classical and contemporary music, proudly representing the richness and diversity of Cuban culture. After relocating to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area in 2023, they continued refining their craft under the guidance of Tom Rosenberg and J.Freivogel, quickly becoming an integral part of Minnesota’s dynamic cultural scene. Stay tuned for Yazmin & Beat Zero's new album featuring the Havana Quartet to be released in 2026. In the meantime, grab your tickets for this show!
