Trampled by Turtles is an original, non-traditional bluegrass band from Duluth, Minnesota. Their energetic live performances and two well-received albums, 'Songs From a Ghost Town' and 'Blue Sky and the Devil,' have gained them a large and loyal fan base throughout the Midwest and beyond. As one of the leading lights of the 1990s roots rock revival, The Bottle Rockets paved the way for Uncle Tupelo, Blue Mountain, The V-Roys and others, thanks to a fusion of Southern boogie, country-folk and crunching rock 'n' roll. With influencing including Mississippi John Hurt, Rev. Gary Davis and Dave Van Ronk, Charlie Parr plays original and traditional folk and Piedmont-style blues, accompanying himself on National resonator guitars, 12-string guitar and banjo.

For nearly twenty years Lisa Gerrard performed as one half of the eclectic duo Dead Can Dance. The group’s music is best described as "a mix of world music influenced by medieval chants, folk ballads, baroque styling, Celtic sounds and electronics." Lisa Gerrard’s voice has been described as "stunning, flawless and alive; her singing in ancient tongues of Gaelic and Aramaic chords along with tribal drums and huge orchestral sounds transport the listener to a timeless realm of trance and transcendence." She released her first solo album, "The Mirror Pool", in the mid '90s and then went on to release several other albums before turning her attention to composing soundtracks for notable films including The Insider, Ali, Gladiator and Whale Rider.
Damo Suzuki's Network
Where: Turf Club
Date: 2007-05-04 20:00:00
Type:
When Malcolm Mooney left Can after recording their first album Monster Movie, Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit encountered Suzuki singing on a street in Munich, Germany whilst the two were sitting outside at a street café. They invited him to join the group, and he did, performing with them that evening. Suzuki was with Can from 1970 to 1973, recording a number of well-regarded albums such as Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi. His freeform, often improvised lyrics, sung in no one particular language gelled with Can's rolling, psychedelic sound. He returned to music in 1983, and currently leads what is known as Damo Suzuki's Network - as he tours, he performs live improvisational music with various local musicians (so-called "Sound Carriers") from around the world, thus building up a 'network' of musicians that he has and can collaborate with.

Comedian David Graham
Where: Joke Joint Comedy Club
Date: 2008-01-26 22:00:00
Type:
Tickets: $12 David Graham's comedy career has been a non-stop series of events. His very first time on stage, he unknowingly entered a comedy competition (which he won). That led to Catch a Rising Star calling him to open for comedy George Wallace. His twelve-minute set attracted local radio and television attention and the buzz that followed earned him a permanent emcee Job at "Catch". It forced him to grow, opening for acts such as Chris Rock, Adam Sandier, David Spade, Jimmy Walker, Sinbad and a host of others. Opening for high-profile comics helped get him noticed by national television. He has since been seen on Comedy Central's "Comic Justice" and featured on ABC's "America's Funniest People". Those appearances helped him move up to the big screen in independent films such as "Apocalypse and the Beauty Queen" and "Tapestry of Shadows". Now, he's a nationally-touring headlining comedian, and the ride has taken him to the Joke Joint. Be sure to catch him while you can, because you never know where comedy is going to take him next.
