Dominique Fils-Aimé will be returning to the Dakota Jazz Club, in Minneapolis, on September 13, 2026. The show continues Dominique’s The Sunshine World Tour which has stopped in Austria, Monaco, Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Canada, and now the United States.
We saw Dominique Fils-Aimé in September 2025 and wrote, “Dominique is from Canada and a daughter of Haitian Immigrants. She has been performing for about ten years, introducing herself to a broader audience when she competed on Quebec’s version of The Voice aka La Voix in 2015. From there she has released four albums, two of them winning the Canadian Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year, they being Stay Tuned from 2019 and Our Roots Run Deep in 2023. She also released her first live album this year, Live at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. As she took the stage with her band, she did something unusual but made perfect sense. She introduced her band, saying, “You wouldn’t go to a party and introduce people at the end of the evening.” She also asked the audience to refrain from clapping after every song. The reason was to create a flow and to help her and the band keep in the musical moment. Finally, she said that she would mostly perform with her eyes closed, which I imagined helped her stay in the moment.”

BAILEN
at Turf Club

Sibling band Bailen (Julia, Daniel, and David) returns to Minnesota, playing the Turf Club, in St Paul, on September 15, 2026.
We saw Bailen in June 2019 and wrote, “Opening up the show was sibling band Bailen, featuring Julia, Daniel, and David Bailen. There’s a certain homemade charm about them, as we discovered the first time we encountered the trio with Joseph in Sep 2017. The NYC group recently released their debut album Thrilled To Be Here (Fantasy Records), and they were literally thrilled to be playing some choice cuts from the record like “Something Tells Me”, “I Was Wrong”, and the rousing foot-stomper “Not Gonna Take Me”. Before “Stray Dog”, Daniel said that it was nice to be back in the city (headlining the 7th Street Entry on 25 February 2019), but admitted that they didn’t miss the “negative 28 degrees”. For their self-admitted most pop song, “Going On A Feeling”, the group joked that they needed to turn on the auto-tune machine in the back. They closed out their 35-min set with the harmonizing “25 For The Last Time”.”

SUGAR has partnered with PLUS1 so that $2 per ticket goes to support The Trevor Project, and their work providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ+ youth. TheTrevorProject.org

We saw Brandon Flowers in September 2015 and wrote, “The Killers’ singer/songwriter Brandon Flowers recently stopped by First Avenue’s mainroom, last night, September 10th, in support of his second solo album The Desired Effect, playing to a nearly sold out crowd. Sometime singers release solo albums because of ego or control … but based on hearing Flowers’ brand of music (accompanied by a full backing back, a horns section, and two dedicated backup soul singer), I can tell you that he needed to release his music under his own name, because these uplifting songs did not seem to belong on a typical Killers album… Although the second half of his set consisted of plenty of The Killers songs, which kept the fans very happy, clapping, and singing along. My favorite moment of his set was for the brand new intro song, “Come Out With Me”, which Flowers personalized to Minneapolis by adding “Stone Arch Bridge”, “Saint Paul” and “Mill City Nights” to the song.”
