The Formal Age with Matt Ray and Those Damn Horses

Facebook Event

The Formal Age are a local indie rock band reminiscent of the Cars or the Hold Steady.   They are “new” band, but the members are all veteran players who have been a part of the scene since the late 90s.   They debuted at Homegrown under the name “A Team / B Team”.

Matt Ray and Those Damn Horses is a 6 piece “string band” that specializes in high-energy, modernized versions of old songs taken from Americana and Roots music along with a healthy dose of original music.

It should be a great show with lots of variety.

Putting out my shingle?

My husband and I are returning to our Minnesota roots by moving to Duluth in the next week or so. I’ve been a piano teacher for 16 years now. I’ve got friends and contacts in Duluth that keep assuring me that if I “put out my shingle” I’ll have a full studio in a snap.

What I can’t figure out is how exactly I do that. In my old neighborhood in Chicago I made a pretty flier and put it on people’s doorstep the first year I taught — after that it’s been word of mouth.

Anybody have any ideas for me?

Bayfront Reggae – Save on tickets

If you’re going to both days of the Bayfront Reggae Festival, you can save some dough buying tickets online and using this discount code:

PDD1811

Just go to the Buy Tickets Now page and click on “Buy Tickets Now.” Select the number of tickets you want, enter the promotion code, and the price per two-day ticket will drop from $78.50 to $58.50.

(The only catch is you can’t choose the less expensive “advance” tickets and get the discount, even though you are buying in advance; so technically you’re saving $10, even though the discount is $20. Rastafarian math.)

Marathon Nights Afterparty w/Dan Anderson & His Silk Sheiks

By the end of the long day and hectic pace of marathon events (or actual marathon running!) there needs to be a nightcap. A little letting your hair down and unwinding. Well, that will happen if you come down late to the Lake Avenue Cafe for a Marathon Nights afterparty featuring Duluth’s own smooth organ genius Dan Anderson & His Silk Sheiks and the stripped down surfy post-punk heat of Minneapolis band the Bombay Sweets. Before the evening ends these bands promise to deliver the right sounds to loosen you up and wind down the days long events in style.

Saturday, Aug. 13, 11pm, 21+
RSVP at the Facebook Event Page

Check out Dan Anderson & his Silk Sheiks live here.
