Temples
with GIFT
at Turf Club

Psychedelic band Temples is returning to the Twin Cities, playing the Turf Club, in St Paul, on December 11, 2026.

We saw Temples earlier in September 2026 and wrote, “For night one of their two-night residency at the intimate Chapel venue in San Francisco’s Mission District, Temples brought some blissed-out psychedelic fuzz that leaned more introspective for the release of their new album, Bliss. Having gotten restless with their psych-rock milieu, they’ve branched out with a more dance-oriented vibe, channeling ‘90s fuzzy guitars and their inner Tame Impala. They still kept the rock in the dark, with transcendent, jagged guitars and airy vocals from singer-songwriter James Bagshaw. Swirling eddies of light cast a trippy halo on the band as they ran through new tracks from Bliss (“Jet Stream Heart”; “Blue Flame”) as well as songs from their previous four full-length albums, including “Certainty,” “Hot Motion,” and “Gamma Rays.” Of course, they gave the psych-rock fans what they wanted by closing the main set with their standout debut single, “Shelter Song” from 2014’s Sun Structures. The encore ended with “The Golden Throne” and “Mesmerise,” also from the first album, bleeding out into a droning guitar freakout that saw the band lost in rock reverie. ”

Church of Cash
with Kinda Fonda Wanda
at Turf Club

Johnny Cash tribute band, Church of Cash, to headline the Turf Club, on Saturday, December 12, 2026.

We saw Church as Cash earlier in July 2026 and wrote, “Over at the History Theatre in Saint Paul, it was going to be a full evening of country rock with the Church of Cash playing the music of Johnny Cash. The band formed in 2010 in Honolulu with frontman Jay Ernest. After relocating back to his native Minnesota in 2011, he has slowly and steadily built the band into one of the preeminent Johnny Cash tribute bands in the world. It includes a pair of albums, including 2021’s Flowers for June, the band being voted Best Tribute Band by the Midwest Country Music Organization, and even inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame for the work in preserving Cash’s legacy. In the last few years, that reach has gone global with regular tours throughout Europe. We last saw Church of Cash at Le Musique Room in May 2024, where Dave noted Ernest’s fantastic voice and that “If you were to close your eyes, you could easily be convinced that the Man in Black was alive and well”. High praise and an absolute must for a top quality Cash performance. When I found out a little before doors opened that there would be an intermission, I knew we were going deep on The Man in Black’s huge catalogue.”
