This week will be slow, due to the Christmas holiday (Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). Although people may say that Black Friday is the biggest Christmas shopping day – some may argue that Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, is the biggest shopping day because of last-minute shoppers. Generally speaking, business closes early on December 23rd or 24th, and nothing is really open for business on Christmas Day.

All Tomorrow’s Petty at Turf Club (Dec 26-27, 2025)
Minnesota’s All Tomorrow’s Petty, a Tom Petty cover band will be doing a double-night residency at the Turf Club, in St Paul, on December 26 and 27th. Just a weird thing, but the band took their name from a Velvet Underground song “All Tomorrow’s Parties”, so I’ve always thought they were a Lou Reed cover lover band.
The Petty collective features a rotating cast of players, but is known to include: JT Bates, James Diers, Jake Hanson, Jeremy Hanson, Bryan Nichols, and Rob Skoro.
Hemma at 7th Street Entry (Aug 1, 2024)
Faith Boblett will open the first night (Dec 26), while Hemma will open the second night (Dec 27).
We first saw Hemma in August 2024 and noted, “Opening the show was local singer/songwriter Hemma, who sings about grief and healing and seems to be inspired by Joni Mitchell. Her biography mentioned that she comes from a large family of singers and sometimes she’s with a full band (but it seems easier for traveling as a soloist). Songs that she played and mentioned were “Patterns” (with the funky beats), “Home”, and “Buckskin Pony” (which she had to not use the pre-recorded background music). She said that she has a new album coming out and that she was going to preview her new single, “Lullabies”, which was officially released August 1.”
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.
