We previously mentioned the local indie band Present Company for their sophomore, self-titled album release party in  Sep 2022:

 

“Minneapolis indie band Present Company is having their sophomore, self-titled album release party this September 9th at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis. The group was originally started by Christian Nelson and Eddie Chisham (songwriting, vocals, guitar, keys), but later joined by Seth Lemmon (bass) and Berin Joseph (drums).”

The band recently (November) was filmed live, via PBS’ Backroads (to air in 2023), and it actually had spiked up interests in their music through their Spotify analytic. You can currently preview their song “Drive” on PBS’ website and social media posting.
Congratulations to the band.

Show up early to check out:
Products, Colin Bracewell and Parachutes.

Ani DiFranco
with Peter Mulvey and SistaStrings
at First Avenue

Highly influential protest singer Ani DiFranco is making a return to First Avenue this January 24, 2023. Her previous First Avenue show, set for August 21, 2021 (as mentioned in July 2021) was canceled due to COVID concerns. DiFranco is making up for lost time with this January 2023 show… which actually kicks off her 2023 tour.

The feminist icon and Grammy winner is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of her seminal first live album, Living In Clip (Righteous Babe Records). In addition, you can get the 25th anniversary remastered edition of the landmark double album on this tour, as well as online through her website.

Also, look for DiFranco’s children book The Knowing, out March 7, 2023, via Penguin Kids.

Peter Mulvey and SistaStrings to open.
