“Pop’s Next Big Thing” Aidan Bissett is currently on his “Supernova: How’s It Gonna End? Tour”…. Stopping by the 7th Street Entry on Monday, April 29, 2024.

 
We caught the singer with Claire Rosinkranz in Mar 2022 and wrote, “Aidan Bissett opened the show. He’s joined on stage by drummer Chris and guitarist Kyle. Just prior to playing his single, “Communication”, the singer/songwriter admitted that he only started writing music recently, and especially during the COVID quarantine. Afer his big hit song, “Dumped”, Bissett tested out a new song that he dubbed “Twenty-Something”.”

The Strumbellas
with Cece Coakley
at Fine Line

first-avenue.com

Multi-platinum, internationally acclaimed band The Strumbellas will be heading to the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on May 1st, as part of their tour for Part Time Believer (Underneath a Mountain Records/The Orchard).

We caught the Strumbellas at the Fine Line in Oct 2016 and wrote, “Toronto’s The Strumbellas is currently one of the hottest band in America, thanks to very catchy singles ‘We Don’t Know’ and ‘Spirits’. The turnout to the Strumbellas’ Fine Line Music Café show in Minneapolis was terrific, and judging from all the dancing in the audience, they create some of the best folk, bluegrass, Americana, and “popgrass” music you’ve ever heard.”

Cece Coakley to open.

BER
with Raffaella
at Fine Line

first-avenue.com

It’s a sold-out double ladies night with BER and Raffaella, at the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on May 3rd, 2024.

 
We caught Ber in Dec 2022 and wrote, “Ber aka Berit Dybing then took the stage but with some minor complications. That’s what makes 7th Street Entry such a fun musical venue. It’s an incubation tube for new bands and those bands are their own roadies, and they are only a few feet from the audience as they set up their equipment. For a time the band worked on connecting Mike’s (drummer) ear piece. Then Ber’s main mic wasn’t working, which was an important piece of equipment for a lead singer. No matter. Ber was game and set aside any awkwardness by chatting and taking selfies with the crowd.”
 
We caught Raffaella in 24 Sep 2023 and said, “Local indy pop singer Raffaella Meloni opened up the evening. She’s actually a transplant from Manhattan who made the leap to the Twin Cities after a chance encounter with the lead singer of Hippo Campus, Jake Luppen, turned into something more, as in moving in together. “I like Minneapolis,” she said of her new home. “It smells better.””
