Drew Baldridge
with Tori Martin and Dylan Wolfe
at Fine Line

Chart-topping singer/songwriter Drew Baldridge is headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on December 5, 2024. His new single, “Tough People,” is now available, it’s the follow-up to his recent history-making No. 1 song, “She’s Somebody’s Daughter.”

About “Tough People”, Baldridge said, “This song means so much to me. Our world is full of tough people fighting to stay ahead every day. But for me, it’s my story about not giving up on my dreams. I had to risk everything to make ‘She’s Somebody’s Daughter’ a hit. It was definitely a tough time for me, but our team kept our heads down, worked hard, and pulled out a win—hard work pays off, good beats evil, and tough times make tough people.”

Church of Cash 
at Turf Club

Minneapolis-based premiere Johnny Cash tribute band Church of Cash will be headlining the Turf Club, in St Paul, on December 6, 2024.

We saw the band in May 2024 and wrote, ““Sunday funday,” said Jay Ernest as the band took the stage and got right to it with “Jackson.” The Church of Cash is a review band with a simple mission: to honor the lasting legacy of Johnny Cash. Ernest was the emcee, the laidback minister, the conjurer of the late singer right down to the black outfit, bulwark-chest and whiskey barrel voice. A traveling musician by trade, Ernest found himself in Oahu playing bass in a hybrid reggae/Motown band. On his days off he would grab his acoustic guitar and play background music in an Irish bar in the Chinatown neighborhood of Honolulu. And as he played, he noticed the patrons would stop conversing and drinking to listen when he sang a Johnny Cash song. From that eureka moment the Church of Cash was formed.”
