Burkina Electric is the first electronica band from Burkina Faso, in  the deep interior of West Africa. With its main base in the music  scene of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso's capital, it is, at the same time,  an international band, with members living in New York, U.S.A. and  Düsseldorf, Germany, as well as in Ouaga. Burkina Electric's music combines the traditions and rhythms of Burkina Faso with contemporary electronic dance culture, making it a trailblazer in electronic world music.

The Cedar proudly welcomes back contemporary American-Irish band Solas, the same week their brand new album The Turning Tide (Compass) gets released! The new album features a mix of traditional Irish tunes performed with the group's usual impeccable flair and style, and their defining takes on a choice selection of contemporary songs. In for the Solas treatment this time are some heavy hitters: Bruce Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad, Richard Thompson's Poor Ditching Boy, and Josh Ritter's Girl in the War. Their extraordinary new vocalist Máiréad Phelan has clearly settled in well, and the group is reaching unscaled heights with this latest project.

Though the story of boy-meets-girl is as old as stories themselves, it’s only recently that the timeless tale surrounding loves lost and found has reached an apogee. This is in no small part due to the films of directors like John Hughes and Cameron Crowe. Sure, Romeo & Juliet is the epically tragic tale of two star-crossed lovers, but the romantic comedy has given us Lloyd Dobler’s boom box held aloft, Harold and Maude, Andy Stitzer’s 40 years of virginity, Harry and Sally proudly partaking of the pecan pie, the 30-minute mega mix of “If You Leave,” and of course, Duckie and the Donger.

Come celebrate this very special evening with passionate flamenco music and dance, presented by Jonathan "Juanito" Pascual with the support of the Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theater and School. After first discovering the art of flamenco guitar during his youth in Minneapolis, Juanito trained extensively with the masters in Spain and at the New England Conservatory, and has risen to take his place as one of the finest young flamenco guitarists on the scene.

"a collection of shuffling folk-pop confessionals that dresses up
Morris's simple strumming and plaintive, subdued tenor in beautiful
accoutrements (most prominently cello, pedal steel, and some lovely
female harmony vocals). It's a remarkably assured and focused
collection, sounding more like the work of an artist hitting mid-career
stride than a full-length debut...With the ethos of Brother Ali beating in his heart and the sweeping
folk-rock songwriting of Fleet Foxes in his hands, Morris's future
looks bright" (Rob Van Alstyne, City Pages)

The concert will include sacred chant from a variety of spiritual lineages with Jennifer Salima on vocals and violin, plus two of her ex-bandmates from 80's band Tetes Noires, Cynthia Bartell (bass) and Angela Frucci (keyboards), and performance tracks from Jennifer's CD, Ecstatic Groove: Sacred World Chant Infusions. Audience sing-along (kirtan), a large-screen series of photographic montages and spoken word about prisoners who have found enlightenment make this a multimedia performance not to be missed.

Cedar Family welcomes back one of our most popular artists, Justin Roberts with the Not Ready for Naptime Players (will they EVER be ready)? His last show sold out, so please consider getting tickets in advance for this one. Justin Roberts is truly one of the "all-stars" of the indie family music scene. He logs thousands of miles on the road each year, leading some to call him the hardest working man in children's show business. With national awards and recognition and a devoted fan base, Justin and his bandmates dish out unexpectedly intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents.

An evening with two of Sweden's hottest contemporary singer/songwriters, both with arguably unusual nom de plumes! Up first tonight will be El Perro Del Mar, the nom de plume of Sarah Assbring, who recently released her third full-length album Love Is Not Pop.  Here's what El Perro Del Mar has to say about the new album: "Shortly after having finished touring with my second album 'From the Valley to the Stars' I started writing new songs. For some reason all the songs were about love and in particular that of the doomed kind. Unconsciously I think I knew what I was trying to tell myself.

Canadian indie folksinger Basia Bulat stops by The Cedar in the middle of a busy tour promoting her second full-length album Heart Of My Own.  Nearly all the songs on Heart of My Own were written while on the road: traveling between cities, crossing the Canadian prairies, searching for a place to stop in the Nevada desert, trailing through the Smoky Mountains, standing in the bright dusk of a summer night in the Yukon. Perhaps most surprising was the strong influence her short time in the Yukon had on this album. Basia spent five days and nights in Dawson City, where for the first time she experienced true silence. "I felt my mind was overwhelmed with ideas.

Come join in the fun when everyone's favorite non-brass trio The Brass Kings celebrates the release of their third album. Live Humdinger is a compilation of fourteen choice live cuts from their shows at The Cedar over the past few years, and features guest artists Molly Maher, Jon Rodine, Jayanthi Kyle (Black Audience) Nate Sipe (Pert Near Sandstone), Baby Grant Johnson (Bitter Spills) and Dave Babb (Front Porch Swingin' Liquor Pigs). Jayanthi, Jon, Dave, and Jillian Lantry will be on hand tonight to pitch in. Thumpin' washtub bass, hardscrabble washboard, and entrancing resonator and acoustic guitar--come on, what are you waiting for?

Opening tonight will be Duluth's Two Many Banjos.  (Please note: Willie Murphy, scheduled to perform tonight, will no longer be appearing in this show).

Local hip-hop/synth-pop triple-bill featuring three of the hottest acts in town, including No Bird Sing, whose new self-titled CD received rave reviews, Lookbook, who'll be releasing the vinyl version of 2009's Wild At Heart, and Kill the Vultures.

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month...The return of Punch Brothers, fronted by virtuoso mandolinist/composer/singer and Grammy winning Nickel Creek-er Chris Thile. Thile is more than ably complemented by Gabe Witcher (Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, Beck, Jerry Douglas) on fiddle, Chris Eldridge (Infamous Stringdusters) on guitar, Noam Pickelny (Leftover Salmon) on banjo, and bassist Paul Kowert. Collecting five singular abilities and viewpoints into one musical force, Punch Brothers have established their place among the most dynamic and talented presences across the full range of contemporary music-making.

Laura Veirs’ seventh album July Flame, which Colin Meloy calls “the best album of 2010,” explores the emotion of mid-summer. Drenched in wood smoke, sunlight, pollinators, pastoral dales, fireworks and warm nights, her lyrics explore the dichotomy between one’s desire for permanence and security and the realization that such things rarely exist. Nowhere on the album is this inherent tension more crystallized than on the title track.

Mostly (but not exclusively) local artists in a relaxed evening showcase. Come early and stay for the whole evening, or drop in for an hour or so and sample some of the best acoustic music around in optimal listening room conditions. Boiled In Lead's Drew Miller emcees and DJs an evening of local Irish music for tonight's 416 Club -- setting the tone for St. Patrick's Day.

With media attention fluttering around Broadway’s debut of the new musical FELA!, co-produced by Jay-Z and Will Smith, the spotlight on afrobeat music has never been brighter. This is good news for Chicago Afrobeat Project who, after celebrating its 7th year on the music scene, returns to Minneapolis for one pulsating night of deep-beat dance and funk.

Take the best of Klezmer and Tzigane (Gypsy), add a dash of Québecois, stir in a sprinkling of original compositions, simmer for a few years to let the flavors meld, and you begin to get the gist of Gadji-Gadjo. Created in 2002 by vibrant accordionist Mélanie Bergeron, the group also features five other musicians from different regions of Quebec who all now live in Montreal: Jean-Sebastien Leblanc on clarinets, Pierre-Olivier Dufresne on violin, Jean Desrochers on guitar, Mathieu Deschenaux on bass and Ivan Bamford on percussion. With its zesty, high-spirited live show, Gadji-Gadjo is rapidly becoming a hip favorite in the burgeoning klezmer/gypsy scene.

Taj Weekes is an enigma… on the one hand deeply serious and intensely passionate about his world views and on the other hand a gentle and humble man with a quick and easy smile. Born and raised on the island of St. Lucia, Weekes has a chameleon-like talent for blending into his surroundings as he keenly observes the world spinning around him, but the moment he steps on stage, locks flowing, he reveals the regal bearing of a mighty lion, his voice rising from a hoarse whisper to a throaty growl. Weekes' music defies category - an amalgam of roots style reggae with a hint of rock, soul and R&B. Essentially, Taj Weekes is a poet who sings to the rhythm of life from his own unique and complex perspective.

The Clientele formed a long time ago in the backwoods of suburban Hampshire, playing together as kids at school, rehearsing in a thatched cottage remote from any kind of music scene, but hypnotized by the magical strangeness of Galaxie 500 and Felt and the psych pop of Love and the Zombies. Singer Alasdair MacLean still recalls a pub conversation where the band collectively voted that it was OK to be influenced by Surrealist poetry but not OK to have any shouting or blues guitar solos. From that moment on, they put their stamp on a kind of eerie, distanced pure pop, stripped to its essentials and recorded quickly to 4-track analogue tape.

For fifty years, Del McCoury's music has defined authenticity for dedicated bluegrass fans, as well as for a growing number of fans among those only vaguely familiar with the genre. The most recent decade of that half-century of music making has been filled with new and ongoing triumphs. The Del McCoury Band has shown unprecedented stability, with but a single change in membership in fifteen years. Del earned membership in the cast of the legendary Grand Ole Opry in 2003, and the Band earned their first Best Bluegrass Album Grammy award two years later.

Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this gifted quartet from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash’s music, but its overall sound and spirit is decidedly Tuvan.

"Noted folk singer-songwriter Ellis Paul serves up a deft, soulful acoustic mix of American folk and contemporary pop in songs that find magic in road trips, dragonflies, "The Star Inside the Apple" and swings and pinwheels - simple pleasures. Traditional folk themes of world peace and harmony resonate with immediacy, but are delivered with a gentle touch ("The Million Chameleon March," "The Little Red Rose")." (The Dragonfly Races, Parents' Choice Silver Award winner 2008)

Here's what singer-songwriter Ellis Paul has to say about his family music project The Dragonfly Races:

Prominent singer-songwriter Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in the wave of urban, literate folk/pop singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene in the 1990's. Since those early days, he has built up a fiercely loyal fan base, to whom he turned when he needed to record his sixteenth album The Day After Everything Changed. As an independent artist with his own label Black Wolf Records, Ellis raised over $100k from his fans in the middle of a deep recession. The result of this project is an excellent example and true testament to the relationship Ellis has built with his fans and the mutual respect they have for each other. This is Ellis’ first studio album without a record label in 10 years. An increasingly topical humanism informs his work.

Mellow French acoustic pop star Tété was born in Dakar, Senegal, but when his parents divorced, he returned with his mother to northeastern France. As a teen, Tété drew his musical inspiration from the pop and rock music of the day. Using the guitar given him by his mother, he assembled small bands with friends and began experimenting with songwriting, composing mainly in English. In 1998, Tété moved to Paris, playing cafés and busking before forming a successful trio with drummer Alberto Malo and bassist Evy Moon. The young men were quickly signed to Sony/Epic, releasing their debut record, L’Air de Rien, in 2001. While working on the record, Tété maintained a busy performing schedule as a solo artist, building a healthy-sized fan base via small Paris clubs and cafés.

“ ‘I’m in love with Eliza Blue,’ or something close to that, has been a typical response to the haunting, timeless music Ms. Blue has been casting out in Twin Cities clubs, pubs, and theaters over the last few years. Now the rest of the world will discover her organic magic, as Eliza releases her most full-bodied work to date, The Road Home.” (JIM WALSH)

Two of The Cedar's most popular and enduring singer-songwriters together on one night, brought to you by local indie folk label Red House Records.  Lucy Kaplansky has released a string of albums on Red House, including The Tide, Flesh and Bone, Ten Year Night, Every Single Day, and The Red Thread. Lucy’s new life as a mother has enhanced the emotional depth of her songwriting. Her latest album, Over the Hills explores universal themes of love, joy, loss, and dreams for the future, through reflections on family.

Legendary Irish traditional band Altan are celebrating 25 years together in 2010, and to mark the occasion, they are making a trek back to one of their favorite haunts for a good many of those years--The Cedar! The line-up will feature as always the gorgeous vocals and fiddle of Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, joined by Dermot Byrne on accordion, Ciarán Curran on bouzouki, Ciaran Tourish on fiddle and whistle, and our own Dáithí Sproule on guitar. Never content to stay still artistically, the band has been exploring and experimenting with their music using orchestral arrangements of their most popular pieces. The band has recorded a very special album with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and are also hard at work on another studio album.

The return of one of Africa's most popular and beloved musicians: Malian guitarist Habib Koité and his band Bamada! Habib descends from a line of griots, traditional troubadors who provide wit, wisdom and entertainment. His charisma and magnetism translates and transcends all cultures. With his most recent songs, Habib is transposing his role of modern-day griot into a facilitator helping fellow Africans survive in the Western-dominated, industrialized world.

Bassam Saba is one of the nation's leading figures of Arabic music. Saba is a world-renowned nay virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist, performing on oud, violin, buzuq, saz and western classical flute. Saba studied nay, oud and violin at the Lebanon National Conservatory. At the age of 17, he moved to Paris where he received his BA in Western Classical music and Flute Performance at the Conservatoire Municipal des Gobelins. In 1979, Saba moved to Moscow to study at the prestigious Gnessin Musical Pedagogical Institute where he received an MA in Western Flute Performance and Music Education (1985). He later returned to Beirut where he began to work extensively with the biggest stars of the Arab World: Fairouz, the diva of Lebanon, and composers Marcel Khalife and Ziad Rahbani.

The songs on "Dear Companion" are of incomparable eloquence and of a spirit that could make even the most destitute and soured man feel as if the clouds were going to part in little time, the morning sun is going to awaken them refreshed and contented with a new lease and the juice waiting for them in a kitchen they never knew they had would be freshly squeezed. (Sean Moeller, Daytrotter Session, Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore)

Las Rubias del Norte (The Blondes of the North) was born seven years ago, when Allyssa Lamb and Emily Hurst decided to quit their classical choir and start a group of their own.  The band mixes musicians from the US, France and Colombia who all look back to the Latin motherland most of them never had. The group’s sound quickly veered off its classical course, incorporating boleros, Peruvian waltzes, Andean huaynos and Cuban guajiras. The result plays like a dreamy soundtrack with classical harmonies set to a Latin beat. Their first release, Rumba Internationale (Barbes records), features songs written by Margarita Lecuona (of Tabu and Babalu fame), W.A.

There is no denying true love, especially between us and the Baltimore City based Beach House. The super talented duo, Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand, first fused their respective musical creativity in 2005, releasing their self-titled debut in February of 2006 and the second, Devotion, in August of 2007.

A grooving double-bill with eight-person modern reggae band John Brown's Body, and the instrumental, Malian-influenced band Toubab Krewe. JBB's current evolution builds on a reggae foundation, incorporating elements from different genres. The new songs are timeless yet futuristic, anchored yet exploring.

The passion, the obsession, the dissolution of intellectual rigour; heart and longing colliding with mind and matter, the recurrent theme of Fanfarlo. As aging instruments are brought back to life with a creaking aching beauty, a bizarre collection of characters join our midst. Each an accidental Fanfarlo metaphor - the irrational pursuit of an otherwise intellectual mind.

Howard Hughes’ descent into madness "I’m A Pilot"; the delusion of Pellegrino Ernetti "The Walls Are Coming Down" and the absurd writing career of "Harold T. Wilkins", all sweep from sweet murmuring melodia to orchestral pop.

2009 was the year everything blew up—in a good way—for the indie folk trio Megafaun. Megafaun had its roots in the Eau Claire, WI band DeYarmond Edison that brothers Brad and Phil Cook, and Joe Westerlund formed with Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver) until the band's demise in 2006. When Bon Iver went off to lick his wounds and write his now famous For Emma, Forever Ago album, Megafaun was born. After releasing their debut Bury the Square in 2007, the band  toured extensively, collaborated with artists of all stripes, and generally, had their musical horizons stretched to the nth degree. Their second album Gather, Form & Fly was released in July 2009, and shows the benefits of this period of assimilation and exploration, stretching as it does from traditional folk to experimental and beyond.

“Baaba Maal opened his mouth and beautiful pearls and lilies and songbirds came flying out. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen” Michael Stipe

A homecoming celebration for chamber folk sextet Dark Dark Dark as they make the last stop after heading to SXSW, and embarking on a national tour in conjunction with the release of their EP Bright Bright Bright. The choir that accompanied the group on the EP will even be on hand to add their touch to this hometown show, making this an extra bright, and unique, occasion.

Spirits of the Red City will open, and Brett Bullion (of Tarlton) will provide interlude music.

" … you would think they'd been playing together for centuries. While his fiddle dances, her cello throbs darkly or plucks puckishly. Then [Haas] opens her cello's throat, joining Fraser in soaring sustains, windswept refrains, and sudden, jazzy explosions. Their sound is as urbane as a Manhattan midnight, and as wild as a Clakmannan [Scotland] winter."
— Boston Globe

Born Sunday Adeniyi, King Sunny Ade has been perfecting his Nigerian juju beats for more than four decades and achieved legendary status. The son of a church organist, Ade knew from a young age that music was his life's passion. He left grammar school in the 1960s, started a band and hasn't looked back since. He's played in many groups over the years and founded his own label. As a recording artist, he's put out over more than 100 singles and LPs, and earned two Grammy nominations in the process. Ade hit the height of his international popularity in the late '80s, but he remains extremely popular in Nigeria.

Over the course of her colorful career, singer songwriter Susan Werner has cultivated a reputation as a daring and innovative songwriter with a killer live show. She boldly endeavors to weave old with new to create altogether new genres of music when existing ones do not suit her muse, and she regularly keeps audiences guessing and laughing simultaneously. Most of her work infuses traditional music styles and methods with her unmistakable contemporary worldview, constantly challenging listeners to experience music from a fresh and unexpected perspective. Susan Werner's new release Classics asks no less of her distinguished audience or herself.

Transgender singer-songwriter Baby Dee has a rich, captivating, otherworldly voice. It soars majestically over mournful, sustained piano chords in Safe Inside the Day [Baby Dee's 2008 Drag City release] before retreating and returning, boldly and forcefully. Baby Dee's resume includes stints as a harpist, a street musician and a sideshow performer, but it seems as if she'd be most comfortable in a world of her own creation, singing vaudeville. Bringing to mind Antony Hegarty of Anthony and the Johnsons, her voice is a force of nature, marked by dramatic outbursts and an unmistakable air of tragedy. A quiet violin and other voices compete for attention in Safe Inside the Day, but Baby Dee commands all the attention here.

After fronting several rock bands in his native Idaho, singer/songwriter Justin Ringle moved to Portland, OR in 2004 and began focusing on acoustic music, playing open mics regularly under the moniker Horse Feathers. In 2005, multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick heard a couple of Justin's demos and offered to help flesh them out. In February 2006 the duo went into Skyler Norwood's Miracle Lake studios and recorded their debut album Words are Dead, which was released that September on Portland label, Lucky Madison. Later that year, Peter's sister Heather Broderick joined the group on cello and by 2007, Horse Feathers began featuring a rotating cast of instrumentalists backing Justin's guitar and vocals.

The Infamous Stringdusters represent the cream of the crop of young bluegrass musicians. With Andy Hall on Resonator Guitar, Travis Book on bass, Chris Pandolfi on banjo, Jesse Cobb on mandolin, Jeremy Garrett on fiddle and Andy Falco on guitar, the band pulls together skill and experience well beyond their years. They boast a combined resume that includes collaborations with artists like Dolly Parton, Leftover Salmon, Earl Scruggs, Bering Strait, Ronnie Bowman and Levon Helm. Catch the 'Dusters on fire at The Cedar, just two days after their third
album Things That Fly is released!

By popular request, a return visit by The Pines, whose most recent album Tremolo was debuted at The Cedar in a sparkling show on Oct 23. The album went on to make several end of year best album lists, including City Pages'. "There's a good reason that we chose to feature folk duo the Pines on the cover of this year's music wrap-up, and it's not because they make mighty fine photo subjects—it's because their latest effort, Tremolo, is one of the most delicately arranged and timeless local albums to be released this year. Though David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey trade off singing melodies, it's Ramsey's voice in particular that lives up to Tremolo's title, words wavering on his breath as he sings haunting songs about loneliness, wanderlust, and falling in and out of time with reality.

"It is 11 a.m. on a -5 degree Saturday morning. Inside the Cedar Cultural Center, little girls and boys are twirling and dancing, small arms and legs akimbo and flailing around the crowded room. Parents are smiling at each other. This morning Adam Levy, dressed in a goofy white jumpsuit and black top hat, is the ecstatic pied piper leading the merry band -- Bunny Clogs are rocking the house in celebration of the release of their first CD entitled More! More! More!" (Michelle Leon, City Pages 1/26/09)

Cedar fave returns in an early, one-set show! Austin-based Eliza Gilkyson is a politically minded, poetically gifted singer-songwriter, who has become one of the most respected musicians in roots, folk and Americana circles. Since 2000, she has released a string of superb recordings on Red House Records, with her most recent release Beautiful World described by All Music Guide as her "masterpiece".

An inspiration that began last year at hip New York City club Le Poisson Rouge, and now making a special appearance at The Cedar, Radio Happy Hour is a live variety show featuring an old-time radio comedy/drama and your favorite guest stars from the worlds of film, music, and letters. Hosted by Sam Osterhout, the show engages its guests in a wildly right-angled conversation that careens between interviews, performances, and trivia. And at the center of it all is a short, old time radio comedy in which the guest stars as him or herself or, in some cases, as Nancy Drew. Audiences will see all of this--the interviews, the corny jokes, the guest performances, and the behind-the-scenes making of a radio drama--live every month, and podcasted online as well. Trust us, it will make more sense when you see it.

The Cedar welcomes back a long-time favorite: Peter Ostroushko, who has come to be regarded as one of the finest mandolin and fiddle players in acoustic music. His tours have taken him to the stages of clubs, performing arts centers, music festivals and theaters across North America and Europe, and he has earned an international reputation as a versatile and dazzling master of instrumentation and composition.

Legendary underground cartoonist Robert Crumb and guitarist Dominique Cravic founded Les Primitifs du Futur in 1986, craving real Parisian musette instead of the poor imitations they heard in variety shows. The members of Les Primitifs du Futur brilliantly blend world-musette and Django-style guitar into old-fashioned originals, sounding like they've stepped right out the '30s. Musette, a style that developed in France at the turn of the century before exploding in Paris in the 1930s and '40s, mixes popular folk dancing from Auvergne with swing, gypsy inflections, and polka. Musette is, by definition, dance music.

With an angelic voice and songs full of faith, grace and vulnerability, Mindy Smith has been embraced by critics and fans alike with each recording she unveils. With her fourth release, Stupid Love (Vanguard Records), Mindy takes another step forward both lyrically and musically. Written over a two year period, each of the fourteen tracks on the record delves into the various stages of relationships: the highs, the lows, the emotional investments made, how they can change us and move us forward. For Mindy, Stupid Love is a statement of where she is now as well as where she has been.

Jóhann Jóhannsson has been called by critics “Iceland's foremost genre-crossing multi-instrumentalist” (Irish Times), “one of the bright lights in the already talent rich Icelandic underground music scene” (Aquarius Records), “the most compelling composer working today”, and “An important figure in Iceland’s new music scene at the turn of the millennium”. (All Music Guide).
