| Spirits of the Red City + Nona and Marshall | |
| Spirits of the Red City is a collective of friends and wandering musicians whose members call home places as close as Minneapolis and as far as Alaska and New York City. Call the music time-weathered folk or strewn remnants of Americana or something else entirely. Here’s what you’ll hear: Opaque lyrics, at once lonely and longing and hopeful and weary and love-strewn, backed by guitar, cello, banjo, trumpet, mandolin, accordion, viola, ukulele, drums, toys, group singing, occasional clapping and more. All nine members of Spirits of the Red City will celebrate the band’s debut release, “Hunter Moon,” with this rare local performance before hitting the road in early 2009. Opening are Marshall and Nona, good friends and members of the acclaimed Minneapolis-by-way-of-elsewhere group Dark Dark Dark. “(The) music strikes me as independent among independents — at once removed from fashion, and plugged in to a vast, peculiarly American cultural landscape.” — Joe O’Connell of Elephant Micah Sunday January 4 at 9:00 pm (8:30 doors) |
