It was another delightful evening with The New Standards and friends at the 2022 Holiday Show. This is now one of the key traditions of our Christmas season.
As the leaves begin to change and the air gets a little crisp, it is a good reminder that Minnesota in the Fall is the best time to listen to The Replacements. The two were made to go together. 🍂🎶
We returned to The Dakota to see The New Standards tonight. We’ve seen Chan, John, and Steve play there at least a dozen times, and they always give a great show. 🎶
The Decemberists “Rise From the Bunkers” tour was great at Surly Brewing Festival Field tonight. Their music is so delightful. 🎶❤️
Great OneRepublic show tonight! Set list was just right and hit all the favorites. Tyler’s favorite band. 🎶
Need to Breath opening for OneRepublic tonight at XcelEnergy Center. I hadn’t heard their music before. They put on a really good pre-show. 🎶
At Chanhassen Dinner Theatres for Footlose! Mazie and Tyler’s first time here. 🎶🎭
Powerful performance by DakhaBrakha from Kyiv, Ukraine at The Dakota in Minneapolis tonight. 🎶🇺🇦 Support Ukraine.
Tammy and I had such a great time seeing Elton John tonight at his final show ever in St. Paul, Minnesota — the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. At 74 years old he still brought it all. An amazing performer and musician! Wow! 🎶
Ryman Auditorium
We visited the Ryman Auditorium and saw the birthplace of country and bluegrass music. It seems fitting that the Ryman was originally built as a tabernacle, because walking around it and thinking of all the amazing performances that have been there felt nearly spiritual. 🎶
Tina Schlieske at The Dakota
Tammy and I saw Tina Schlieske doing her Sinatra to Simone show at The Dakota and it was incredible. She puts so much passion and energy into it that you cannot help but be moved. She was also joined by her sister Laura who did a number of songs and then they teamed up for several duets. It was a fabulous night of live music. Also our first time back to the Dakota since the pandemic! 🎶🎉
The Big 5 O Song!
Tammy surprised me with an amazing gift for my 50th Birthday today — my very own song! A full on rock song for me featuring the family. I love it! It is on YouTube but is also published on Apple Music and Spotify!
Song by Songlorious! 🎶
2021 New Standards Holiday Show
We had a fun time at the Washburn High School production of Grease tonight. 🎭🎶
I really dig the clear vinyl of Brandi Carlile’s newest album. 🎶
