James Buckley
Sunday, February 5, 2012 - 9:00pm
Loose and carefree, open and optimistic, the music on James Buckley's new CD, "James Buckley Trio," finds itself by taking it's time. The trio - James, Bryan Nichols, and J. T. Bates - are not in a hurry: they explore without haste, and the payoff is that they achieve a sound that is spacious and natural, and never forced.
Jake Manders
Monday, February 6, 2012 - 9:00pm

A little about Alexis Bailly Vineyard:
Undeterred by viticulturists who asserted that no wine grape could withstand Minnesota winters, David A. Bailly, a Minneapolis attorney, rose to the challenge of establishing a new viticultural region. In 1973, Bailly bought a 20-acre field of winter rye and planted it with French grapes.
Yet to produce just a Minnesota wine was not Bailly's intention. An amateur oenologist with an educated palate, Bailly aspired to make a great Minnesota wine. French winemakers have long held that in order to produce great wine, the grapevines must endure hardship - wind, sleet, snow, drought. Enthusiastically, Bailly adopted the motto, "Where the grapes can suffer."
Bailly chose grape varieties, not for their hardiness, but for the flavor and excellence of the wine the variety produced. Consequently, this made his job as grape grower difficult: French viticultural practices had to be adapted to the Minnesota climate, new methods of training needed to be developed, and, to survive the sub-zero temperatures, each vine had to be laid down and covered with dirt in autumn. All the laborious field work, however, made his job as winemaker simple, for the key to making great wine is growing quality grapes.
To house his enterprise, Bailly designed and constructed a winery made from Minnesota limestone and white knotty pine. The winery opened its doors in 1978, when Alexis Bailly Vineyard released its 1977 vintage, wines produced from 100% Minnesota-grown grapes.
Not only did Bailly's risky venture survive, it thrived. The grapes may have suffered, but praise and sales did not. Alexis Bailly wines have won over 45 national awards.
David A. Bailly died in 1990. His daughter, Nan, now the master winemaker, carries on her father's romantic fantasy of producing world class wines from a vineyard in Minnesota.

Toby Thomas Churchill & The Grave Trio
Sunday, February 12, 2012 - 9:00pm
Duluth's Toby Thomas Churchill (The Alrights) returns to the Red Stag with the same stellar rhythm section of JG Everest, Ben Durrant and Ryan Lovan (ex-Roma di Luna, Lateduster, Romantica) that backed him up his last time here, when he shared the bill with Channy Leaneagh (Polica/ex-Roma di Luna). Churchill's acclaimed debut album "Death" made several Top 10 lists in 2011 and his high-energy live performances bring his hilarious and heartfelt songs to vibrant life.
Lulu's Playground
Monday, February 13, 2012 - 9:00pm
Lulu's Playground is a sonically colorful quartet of local musicians, once described as "street tango/chamber jazz." The instrumentation is accordion (Steve Hobert), cello (Cory Grossman), guitar (Evan Montgomery) and trumpet (Adam Meckler), which provides for a wide palette of beautiful/interesting textures and timbres.
Sophia Shorai
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - 10:00pm
Zimbabwean-born, Minneapolis-raised singer Sophia Shorai began honing her passion for music at the green age of five, through classical and jazz studies. Today, Shorai is considered one of the best kept secrets of the Minnesota jazz scene. She has achieved national recognition for lending her singing to many television commercials as well as vocal recordings for major motion pictures and popular television series.
Jon Pemberton
Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 10:00pm
Pianist, trumpeter and composer Jon Pemberton has been called one of the most versatile musicians in the Twin Cities. In addition to leading his own quintets, The Pembertones and Tribute to Lee Morgan, Pemberton's resume includes stints with the Skatet, Shangoya, Size 6, Bobby Peterson, George Avaloz, Jim Marentic, Children of the Night, Imp Ork, Jack McDuff and David "Fathead" Newman, to name a few. Equally comfortable in straight-ahead and avant-garde formats, Jon is also a dedicated educator, teaching private lessons on all the brass instruments, as well as piano. Jon's debut CD, On the Edge, was released to critical acclaim in 2010. The swingin' piano trio date features stellar support from Twin Cities sidemen, Gary Raynor (bass) and Jay Epstein (drums). Tom Surowicz of the Star-Tribune writes, "Now with the release of On The Edge, Pemberton will definitely be leading a double life. And that’s selling him short. Pianist/trumpeter/composer, the man from St. Paul is officially a triple threat."
The Sisters Magnet and Brothers Steel
Saturday, February 18, 2012 - 10:30pm
In the year 1982, a freak electrical storm sent superstar cover band The Sisters Magnet and Brothers Steel 20 years into the future. Imagine their surprise when they found demand for late-70s AM Gold at an all-time high. Today, they tour the Twin Cities, wowing audiences with such timeless classics as Let it Ride and The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.
In their own time, critics called the band "Old-Fashioned" and "Behind the Times" for insisting on performing Jackie Blue and Sister Golden Hair, but today, it has made them stars.
Pete Hofmann & the Measured Doses
Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 9:00pm
Pete Hofmann and the Measured Doses, consisting of Pete on guitar and sometimes keys, John Eller on bass and sometimes keys, and Frank Randall on guitar and sometimes bass (you got all that?) and Steve Isadore on drums, have been playing around town on and off together since 2008 or 2009. But all the players have been on the Mpls music scene since the late 80's or early 90's. The music, mostly Hofmann originals, veers from R&B to torch-style ballads and then over to straight-up pop to almost emo. Can't seem to stick to one rut, I guess.
"Give me the shut-in singer-songwriter, the loner who would just as soon skip out on the red carpet to spend a few days holed up with the four track, phone disconnected, blackout curtains on the windows. That's the kind of psychosis that sticks to tape. You can taste it. Chuck Terhark, City Pages
Patty & the Buttons
Monday, February 20, 2012 - 9:00pm
Patty and The Buttons formed in the fall of 2008 when accordionist/vocalist Patrick "Patty" Harison returned to his midwestern home. Having been raised in the Minneapolis music scene, he knew just the guys to call. For the past 3 years, Patty had been traveling extensively with Loose Marbles and Panorama Jazz Band out of New Orleans, LA. With Panorama Jazz Band he appeared at many notable festivals including The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, French Quarter Festival, Veracruz International Jazz Festival and others. The Loose Marbles have been all over the world and back playing street corners, theaters, festivals, plantations, parks, squats, caravans, riverboats, ferries and various other locales. He also spent a year in New York studying and playing with some of the worlds finest musicians. While in NYC, he also founded the Baby Soda Jazz Band which features some off the finest young "hot" jazz players in the world.
The Buttons is a continuance of Patrick's love of hot rhythm and happy feet. Patty's eclectic taste gives the band diverse influences including New Orleans Traditional Jazz, Western Swing, Gypsy Melodies, Dust Bowl Ballads, Jug Music and 1930's Popular Song. The core instrumentation of accordion, clarinet, guitar and bass is light and swift, but also beautifully melancholy and lush when it needs to be. The band also performs as a six piece with drums and trumpet for larger affairs. Patty, mostly known as an accordionist doubles as the bands vocalist. His voice is inspired most by the old time hollers and croons from the dawn of recording once described as "Tom Waits meets Rudy Vallee." More than anything, The Buttons is a group that is always enjoying themselves... Which seems to give audiences permission to do the same.

His short fiction has appeared in Swink, Dislocate, the Rake, Hobart, and Pindeldyboz, and has been anthologized in Da Capo’s Best Music Writing 2007.

Alicia Wiley
Thursday, February 23, 2012 - 10:00pm
Alicia Wiley is a rare talent with amazing command of the piano, her voice, and the art of songwriting. Her piano chops have been steeped in classical and jazz, while her songwriting reflects strong pop influences.
She is just as likely to be inspired by Miles Davis and John Coltrane as she is by Bjork and the Smashing Pumpkins. It is Alicia's ability to move deftly between pop melodies and jazz improvisation that has fans singing her praise. In this exciting age of genre-bending music, Alicia is one rapidly emerging artist that should not be missed.
The Gated Community
Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 10:30pm
The Gated Community is a countryish, bluegrassish band that takes inspiration from all deities. Our repertoire is almost completely original, but also includes a large number of heavily reworked covers—our hope, for legal reasons, is that you won't be able to tell the difference. The songs, mostly written by Sonny Mackintosh, address the four universal, Platonic themes of love, art, politics, and science.
The band's fearless leader, Sonny, is a natural emcee and has a knack for getting the crowd confused, to the point of transcendence. His enthusiasm for the music spreads like a virus; it is hard not to fall ill, delirious with country madness, when he is performing.
Lead singer, Katie Williams, has a singing voice that will pierce your heart and remind you of the sweet scent of rose petals and the hardness of reinforced concrete.
The instrumentation of the band is eclectic, sometimes accenting the electrical, sometimes the mechanical, sometimes the petrochemical. As Phil Nussbaum once very aptly said, "The Gated Community. They live where you can't go." But we'd still like to take you home with us.
