The story that leads to Junip’s 2010 release is one of patience and perfectionism, frustration and persistence, sheer bloody-mindedness, inspiration and success. The place to which it takes you, however, is one of pastoral contemplation, autumnal grace and…

DOSH / SKOAL KODIAK @ THE CEDAR
Consider it a testament to Martin Dosh’s electronic wizardry that his live show is somehow more impressive than his intricate, layered records. He doesn’t just recreate his complex collages of looped audio; he composes something new on the fly, surrounded by banks of keyboards and samplers. Dosh’s 2008 album Wolves And Wishes, his fourth solo disc, follows his familiar method of building soundscapes through a careful rearrangement of live improvisation with collaborators. Recently, much of Dosh’s time has gone into his stellar musical partnership with Andrew Bird, but a new Dosh album is on the horizon, which finds him working with Happy Apple’s Mike Lewis, Bird, and a host of other collaborators. It’ll be titled Tommy, in tribute to Dosh’s recently deceased friend and sound engineer Tom Cesario. – AVClub

The Modern Guitar Festival 2009 @ The Cedar
Modern Guitarist: A musician who abides by a genre-less and boundary-less agenda. A free-willed improviser who listens well but isn’t afraid to act or instigate new ideas. A musician void of competition. A musician open to communal collaboration. A modern guitarist is an explorer of electronic technology past and present. A modern guitarist is a student of global melodies and rhythms. (Mike Michel aka Bill Mike: Curator of The Modern Guitar Festival)
Huddled within the Cedar will be some of Minnesota’s finest guitarists, creating their unearthly sounds and memorable melody from six little strings. Featured in the lobby of The Cedar will be some of Minnesota’s finest independent music manufactures as well! This will be a diverse all ages concert. Thanks for supporting Minnesota music.

Walker Art Center presents…BLK JKS @ The Cedar
Thursday, September 24, 2009

$15 ($12 Walker and Cedar members); $18 ($15) day of show
Doors open at 8:00 pm
With a wrecking-crew rhythm section, debonair vocals, and a guitar concoction that’s one part shred and two parts soul, it’s easy to understand why South Africa’s BLK JKS took music mega-gathering SXSW by storm last year. Now on its debut U.S. tour, the band shoots an African musical sensibility through the tenets of rock, electronic, and soul, reclaiming styles that have been stolen, watered down, and regurgitated for generations. BLK JKS’s fresh, forward rhythms, layered harmonies, elliptical guitar vernacular, and infectious urban Zulu mbaqanga blues combine in a swirl of experimentation and tribal energy. Catch the newest voice in African music’s 21st-century sound on this blistering opening night of the Cedar Cultural Center’s four-day Global Roots Festival. – (Walker Art Center, Buy Tix)
