Being a part of the music community in Minnesota is a gift to every artist, listener and participant. The stage of Vieux Carré is rich with history and whispers of musicians past. Today the tradition continues with a varied schedule highlighting local talents in many different genres with a focus on jazz, soul, blues, and the magic of each. Patrons and artists share the room to commune in the celebration of life and each other.
This new project finds members of Prairie Home Companion’s Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band stretching out in new directions. Richard Kriehn (fiddle, mandolin), Gary Raynor (bass), Joe Savage (pedal steel guitar), and Peter Johnson (drums) present original music and Americana gems that span several decades.
