Sometimes that WIDE angle (and a little editing) brings it all home; SINKANE @theCedar.

A #ThrowbackThursday photo (by yours truly), from 2011 First Avenue, to remind folks that Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue are surlybrewing #FestivalField tomorrow (7/11/25), with JJ Grey opening !

Here’s a #ThrowbackThursday of JJ Grey, photographed for First Avenue, as a reminder that they’re opening the show for Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue surlybrewing TOMORROW (7/11/25), and they are a headliner in their own right (as seen Palace Theatre back a minute ago).

Who is heading to surlybrewing #FestivalField TONIGHT for Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue (w JJ Grey opening) ? Thanks to First Avenue for bringing TSOA back to the 612! (Crowd 📷 from Black Pumas last year).

Last night surlybrewing for Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue (a couple #instantposts, before editing 📷 for First Avenue ) was so good (and the weather gods smiled on us). #supportlivemusicvenues

A completely awkward “preshow” pit selfie; sweaty, sleep deprived and late middle aged. But in my happy place.

Gotta give the #backupsingers and the #hornline some flowers; surlybrewing for JJ Grey (opening for Trombone Shorty). Photos for First Avenue.

If you’ve gotta work retail on s Sunday, it’s good to hear two bands on The Current that you’ve photographed in the last year on the commute. Both for First Avenue ; Lake Street Dive & The Hold Steady 🎶.

🐎🌵 COMING SOON🌵🐎 Alt-country/Americana band American Aquarium is playing a show with Kristina Murray at the Turf Club on Sunday, July 20!!! Get tix → firstavenue.me/44ujJ2w 📸: Christopher

Monday; glad to be employed (which avoids being homeless, etc), but damn…just worn out.

If someone could buy me a new M4 iMac, so I could get a few dozen files Denoised without burning an entire “day off” from my retail job, that would be great. (Love being at this point in life, and still living check to check🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😂, but nobody is dropping a bomb on my house, so👍🏻)

Even when I bought tickets to a show at a local music venue, I’m probably gonna bring my camera (unless it’s a show that needs a pass, and then I’m probably there with one anyway😏). Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, right in my neighborhood at #TheHook. #Minneapolis #Longfellow

There’s #freelivemusic every Wednesday this summer The Cedar Cultural Center from 6-8pm, with their #SummerAtTheCedar series (outside on their plaza), though August 20th, with different artists every week. A moment from last week; see you there, Minneapolis?

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, I’m sitting in a quiet dive bar on the beach, with the front door open to let in the salt air.

Just now The Cedar Cultural Center; #SummerAtTheCedar music series. Free shows every Wednesday through 8/20/25, from 6-8pm. Different artists every week; check the venue website for more info.

Here’s what you missed tonight; check the website for upcoming #SummerAtTheCedar. (Weather moved it inside tonight; weather permitting on the plaza next week, with a different artist every week!) 📷 for The Cedar Cultural Center 🎶
