--THIS WEEK’S LIVE SHOWS--11/15 thru 11/22
--THURSDAY, NOV 15, 2012
Pieta Brown & The Sawdust Collective [Wonderful Americana/Folk!]
The Cedar/ 7:30/ $12-15/ AA
--This is her first Mpls show with her new backing band featuring two excellent local musicians, drummer extraordinaire J.T. Bates and bassist Mike Rossetto (The Pines). Her set will highlight songs off her great new album, Mercury, on which Dire Staits’ Mark Knopfler helped out!
Citizen Cope [Great Mix of Blues, Soul, Folk & Rock!!] w/ Charlie Mars
Mill City Nights/ 8:30/ $35-40/ 18+
--I’ll leave this one to Rolling Stone magazine; “Cope melds hip-hop with soul, folk, and blues and feels the combination deeply…Cope’s uncommon chords and harmonies combine delicate dissonance with unexpected flashes of beauty”. His songs have been covered by many top artists including Santana and Sheryl Crow and he is a favorite guitarist of Eric Clapton! Also, you should definitely arrive on time for opener Mars, a talented indie-folk singer/songwriter/guitarist from Mississippi!
Amanda Shires [Wonderful Americana/Alt-Country Singer/Violinist!!]—The Real-Phonic Radio Hour One Year Anniversary, also w/ The Cactus Blossoms, Molly Maher and Erik Koskinen
James J. Hill Library, St Paul/ 8:00/ $20, $10 w/ Non-Perishable Food Item/ AA
--Born in true Texas music hotbed Lubbock, TX, and now based in Nashville, Shires is an in-demand session player and songwriter who has recorded and performed with Justin Townes Earle, Todd Snider, DeVotchka and Jason Isbell but is on her own albums where her talents relly shine through. From WSJ Review; “Her strong palpitating voice has drawn comparisons to Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris but her work is less ethereal, more soulful and darker. There’s some Tom Waits and George Jones in there, too.” These Real-Phonic series shows have been gems over the past year! The venue is very cool and with good sound. Top local musicians are drawn to the shows and end up sitting in all kinds of interesting combinations. And it’s a true all-ages warm friendly atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The Monkees [Close to Sold Out!]
State/ 7:30/ $59-79/ AA
--With the sad passing of Davy Jones this past year, the other three original members, Mike Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, and Peter Tork are left to carry the musical banner for these 60’s pop icons.

First Ave/ 7:00/ $25/ 18+
--Mann has had quite the varied career starting with new-wave Boston band Til Tuesday and their big hit “Voices Carry” to her Grammy-nominated songs on the Magnolia movie soundtrack and then her often dour but moving solo work the last decade. Weaved in to it all is that hauntingly beautiful voice and biting lyrics. The album many of her fans have been waiting awhile for is her more upbeat new CD, Charmer. Should be a good show featuring songs from her three decades of recording.
