The December showcase will feature these artists:
Germany’s NoMBe is 23-year-old Noah McBeth, a classical pianist-turned-producer.
We previously mentioned Austin Plaine, comparing him to Bob Dylan, Conor Oberst and Bruce Springsteen.
Des Moines’ Holy White Hounds is Brenton Dean (vocals, guitar) and Ambrose Lupercal (bass).
Remaining Communion shows:
12/17 Twin Cities – Turf Club
12/19 Kansas City – Thank Room

After a five-year absent, Joanna Newsom is back on tour (we previously caught her in 2007 at the Royal Albert Hall). Since she’s been away, many of her shows have already sold out months in advance – including her upcoming Fitzgerald Theater’s appearance.
Newsom’s latest Divers is out now on Drag City. She recently appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, playing the new single “Leaving the City”.

AMERICAN SCARECROWSft. Laurels String Quartet w/ Going To The Sun
at Cedar Cultural Center
Thursday, 12/17/15, 7:30pm ($12/$15)

We made the show announcement for this American Scarecrows show in October, but the how is finally coming up next Thursday.
We previously caught the band’s 5th Anniversary show at the Turf Club and described it as, “Folks all around me were wildly singing along, raising their drinks and hands as they cheered, yelling their approval (“that definitely did not suck!”) and one guy near me was doing some severe head-banging that required his entire body to lurch forward.”
We previously caught The Laurels String Quartet as they graced the stage with Belle & Sebastian at Rock the Garden in June 2015. We are assuming that the quartet will be embellishing American Scarecrows’ songs.
Going To The Sun to open. GTHS previously opened for Hey Rosetta! in April 2015.
Details:
The summer of 2015, American Scarecrows was introduced to Triple A radio pro-grammers across the country. Stations started spinning “The Peak” and “Gods of the West” in regular rotation. The Star Tribune invited the band to close out their stage at the Basilica Block Party, exposing the band to music fans across the Twin Cities. July was also the month the Scarecrows reunited with the Evening Rig for their annual gig at the Triple Rock Social Club.
Following their 5-year band anniversary celebration at the Turf Club in October with over 300 fans, American Scarecrows will cap off the year with a special all-ages performance at the Cedar Cultural Center, featuring Laurels String Quartet playing w/ American Scarecrows, and special guest Going to the Sun.
