Music | June 17th, 2015
The following list might not be the five biggest upcoming concerts, though they certainly feature some of the most one-of-a-kind acts in the country. Tickets are still available for all these shows.
Esperanza Spalding is arguably one of the best jazz musicians of her generation. She has an extraordinary singing voice and masterful upright/electric bass chops that are defined by incredible control, virtuosic dexterity and appealing character. If you go on Saturday, prepare to be blown away.
Grace Potter was the glamorous rocker lady who opened for The Rolling Stones in Minneapolis earlier this year. She put on an dazzling show at The Venue in Fargo two years ago, and this time she’ll be performing outdoors at Bluestem. She’s a powerful singer and songwriter with an amazing presence.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are busting out the classics, like “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth,” for their 10th Anniversary tour. The indie band from Philadelphia are known for their lead singer’s odd yet animated voice that carries over synth and jangly-guitar-driven rock music.
The laughable but loveable dance rocker Har Mar Superstar is teaming up with one of Minneapolis’ “dopest” experimental groups. Marijuana Deathsquads masterfully mix bizarre noises, dissonant tones, house and hip-hop beats with style and precision.
Alternative-country rocker Lucinda Williams got her start in the late ‘70s and has maintained a steady yet successful career. She’s now 62-years-old though her music style, raggedy Americana country, has aged well. And her band is absolutely killer.
Stay tuned for more ...
