4-7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16: Nick Jordan and Mary DuShane
Nick and Mary entertain with a lively array of vintage songs from various genres, plus Appalachian and Celtic fiddle tunes.
11a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Aug 17: DuoAmigos
Ryan Picone and Ben Abraham have developed a guitar duo that brings together the two virtuosic playing styles of the two legendary guitarists, Django Reinhardt and Paco de Lucia. In their performances, they play the music through the lens of the idea of what if these two guitarists lived at the same time. From this concept the fusion of the two musical genres known internationally as Jazz Manouche and Flamenco have begun to merge into an artistic representation of music the world has yet to hear.
11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday, Aug 18: Alrio Trio+
The Alrio Trio+ performs high-spirited jazz classics and originals. Based in the Twin Cities, the Alrio Trio+ has a monthly residency at Nina's Coffee Cafe and has been featured at high-profile local institutions including Crooners Supper Club, Icehouse, and the Twin Cities Jazz Festival.
