Seun Kuti and Egypt 80
From Lagos, Nigeria
First Twin Cities show since since July 16, 2014 • First Rock the Garden show • Third Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since April 14, 2012
From last.fm:
“You gave me your mud and I made gold from it.” This famous Baudelaire quote could be the Kuti family motto, employed by father and son alike. Their songs, filled with the corruption, ignorance, malady, sadness, pollution and the many other ills that ravage contemporary Africa, are veritable musical treasures - flamboyant, jubilatory songs that make you want to get up and dance. So are you ready to dance like crazy to the misfortunes of Africa? Just be sure to dance and listen to what Africa is telling us. Read more on Last.fm
Jd McPherson
From United States
First Twin Cities show since since February 13, 2015 • First Rock the Garden show • Seventh Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since June 26, 2012
From last.fm:
Sometimes the most American of settings can reveal the deepest artistic talents the world has ever known. Johnny Cash on the farms of Arkansas, Mike Ness on the mean streets of Los Angeles, and a skinny kid from the ghettos of Tupelo named Elvis who happened to be brimming with soul. JD Mcpherson is one of those talents cut from that same artistic cloth. Growing up in southern Oklahoma, Mcpherson, the progeny of an ex-military, farming father and “good word” preaching mother, Mcpherson had an intriguing childhood and those influences shine blissfully through his music.
