TILLY: Do you ever have the feeling, when you wake up in the morning, that you’re in love but you don’t know with what?

JOAN & FRANCES: Yes!

TILLY: It’s this feeling that you want to love strangers, that you want to kiss the man at the post office, or the woman at the dry cleaners— you want to…

Nailed it.

A youtube playlist of artists performing at Icehouse over the next few months

As music fans, we are constantly in search of new sounds, and that keeps us pretty busy. But sometimes while discovering new music, we find other things along the way. One recent find is Icehouse. The newish kid on the Eat Street block is a restaurant, a bar, and a lovely place to see music. The atmosphere is sophisticated, but not stuffy. It’s classy and comfortable.  In fact we’re so crazy about it, that we decided to put some of our shows on their stage.

The Cedar is known for presenting artists in our own intimate, listening-oriented space. We think we’ve got that mostly figured out. We also bring artists to larger venues when their audiences grow beyond the capacity of The Cedar’s hall. But something we have never tried before is presenting artists in spaces smaller than our own. 

As we continue to expand our programming to represent more of the world’s music, we’re experimenting with other locations in the Twin Cities. We’re very excited to announce a string of shows that The Cedar will be presenting at Icehouse over the next few months:

Saturday, May 25: Bill Baird with Strange Relations

Saturday, June 8: Calamity and the Owl with Kingsley Flood 

Wednesday, July 24: Alasdair Roberts & Friends with Paul Fonfara (Painted Saints)

Tuesday, August 27: Lake Street Dive with Reina Del Cid & The Cidizens

Sunday, September 22: Scout Niblett and Dustin Wong with Dope Body

Each of these shows is special - either an artist’s first time in town, or a rare appearance from someone based outside the U.S. With the exception of the September date, each night will include some incredible local talent as well.

Because this is an experiment, we welcome your feedback. Stop by Icehouse sometime over the next few months. Catch a band, grab a bite, or try some of the sipping shots - we bet you can’t have just one.

For more information and to buy tickets, click the links above, or click here. Note that these shows start a little later than your average show at The Cedar, and are only for music fans 21 and older.

See you there!

My latest project comes to life.

Sam Amidon releases his Nonesuch debut, Bright Sunny South, on May 14. Comparing it to his last two LPs, the London-based folk musician says: “This record is more of a journey, a winding path…It comes from a darker, internal space.” It features his takes on Tim McGraw’s “My Old Friend” and Mariah Carey’s “Shake It Off”.

This is inducing serious at-work tears.

Seeking this.

im tired of being considered vapid for liking pop music or caring about fashion as if these things inherently lack substance or as if the things i enjoy somehow make me a lesser person
