    The How Long Gone Podcast will be ending their tour at the Turf Club, in St Paul, on July 1, 2024. The show is hosted by bicoastal elites, Chris Black and Jason Stewart… It was started during the pandemic boredom gave Chris (in New York) and Jason (Los Angeles) something to talk about and catching up… and accidentally “creating a cosmos instead.” As Chris told Vogue, the greatest reward is “creating a universe of interesting and engaging people who just want to come together to have a good time.”



    Some of their guests includes playwright Jeremy O. Harris, musician Phoebe Bridgers, actress Hari Nef, etc. Recorded up to three times a week.



    Their latest episode (#648) is about an hour long and they talked to DJ and songwriter, Alex Chapman about “a G6 at Pilates, Diplo’s Architectural Digest home in Jamaica, how Alex landed in West Hollywood, how Pride month hit different if you’re a gay DJ, Normani, an Italian sex cave, we explain the essence of “trade,” zoology, how to please the olds and youngs, his childhood basketball career, Scotty Pippen is likely hung, NYU dorm life, opening for Kim Petras on tour, divas who’ve been dealt a more difficult hand, and his dream producers to work with.”

    Celebrating America’s birthday this July 4, 2024, at the Minneapolis Riverfront with some fireworks, live music (no bands have been announced yet), and food trucks. This is the first time the Red, White, and Boom! event is taking place since the pandemic shut down the celebration in 2019. 2024 is the first time we are getting fireworks!



    Lineup and schedule are subject to change, so be sure to the website for the latest information.



    Details:


    4th of July Fireworks event returns to the Downtown Minneapolis Riverfront!



    The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) will resume hosting its “Red, White and Boom!” Fourth of July event on the Downtown Minneapolis Riverfront in 2024!


    This year festivities will take place on the west side of the river, at Water Works and the Stone Arch Bridge parking lot. Live music and food trucks are planned to start at 6 pm on July 4, 2024, with fireworks at 10 pm.



    “People love Fourth of July fireworks on the Downtown Minneapolis riverfront. We heard that from communities we serve, partners we work with, and our own staff, so we’re excited to bring back this beloved tradition,” said Al Bangoura, MPRB Superintendent.



    The Minneapolis Red, White and Boom event was last held in 2019. Large events were not permitted due to pandemic restrictions in 2020, then the MPRB shifted to hosting a handful of smaller Fourth of July events spread across the city in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, a patriotic laser light show celebrated the Fourth of July at Boom Island Park.



    The Stone Arch Bridge will be completely closed during Red, White and Boom this year due to a repair project by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT). If you’re interested in more information on the Stone Arch Bridge repair, MNDOT is hosting a virtual public meeting on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, 5:30-6:30 pm. More details regarding Red, White and Boom viewing and access for will be added to the Red, White and Boom page as planning progresses.
    If your band is coming to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, please email details to vu@weheartmusic.com with a good lead time. Thank you.
