Zedashe, the Georgian roots band (the country, not the state), is heading to Minneapolis for a series of shows in the area from September 9th to September 14th. Their seventh album Our Earth and Water will be coming out on September 18th via Living Roots Music. The large nine-piece band will likely preview songs from the new album.
If the dancing thing isn’t for you, not to worry, the band will also be playing traditional concerts at Hamline University on September 12th and the Cedar on September 14th.

JOHN MARK NELSON
at First Avenue

No relations to Matthew or Gunnar, John Mark Nelson is having a CD release party at the mainroom at First Avenue on September 11th.
The new album I’m Not Afraid (GNDWIRE Records via Thirty Tigers) is now streaming in full exclusively at AllMusic. The site praises, “…a warm, easy listen that plays to Nelson’s strengths as a writer of tight, effective songs that target the pleasure centers directly as opposed to any sort of delayed gratification.”
You may recall we caught the singer at Northrop Auditorium (29 Aug 2014) and The Cedar (28 June 2014).
Black Diet and We Are The Willows to open the show. The latter may have been just recently added to the show, as they’re not listed on the show poster. We previously saw the Willows in 2012, which I said singer
Peter Michael Miller had a “weird feminine voice”.

09/18—Grand Marais, MN— North House Folk
