Maggie Rose Setlist
Hey Blondie
What Makes You Tick
What Are We Fighting For
We can confidently say we've seen Fitz and The Tantrums in all kinds of weather and over a hundred-degree temperature range. We first caught the LA soul/dance-pop band in early Feb 2011 in a small Minneapolis club . …
Andy Grammer
Andy Grammer will be co-headlining the show. He is known for his chart-topping hits, like "Honey I'm Good" and "Keep Your Head Up." ...
Maggie Rose
Nashville roots-rock soul powerhouse Maggie Rose released her third studio album Have a Seat. The album recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, and was produced by Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes). …
Saturday night, an energetic night, as souped-up sports cars swarmed the streets of St. Paul while a state police helicopter circled overhead, tracking their movements in an elaborate game of cat and mouse.
Inside the Palace Theatre even more energy as co-headliners Fitz and the Tantrums and Andy Grammer took the stage. But instead of nitrous-oxide fueling their shows, there were clouds and clouds of confetti.
Maggie Rose opened the evening with her band in an all-too brief set. Based out of Nashville, the songs tended to have a Southern Soul vibe with a little bit of Country. She has quite the dynamic voice with a range that harkens Aretha Franklin more than Patsy Cline. She had no problem filling the Palace Theater with ballads like "Saint" and "It's You", finishing with the anthem-like "What Are We Fighting For?" from her latest album Have a Seat.
Andy Grammer wasted no time, kicking off with a poetry slam about who he was and more importantly what he wasn't, delivering great lines like: "Premarital sex and alcohol are not my jam. And I try not to look mysterious with a Diet Coke in my hand."
Grammer's music of positive vibes appeals to a wide range of people and it showed in the crowd. It is not every day you see a teenage daughter and her father mouthing the lyrics to the same song during a concert. But Grammer has this effect on old and young with everyone dancing to "Damn It Feels Good to Be Me" and "Good to Be Alive".
Grammer mentioned he did not fare well during the Covid lockdown. You could tell that there was a part of him that received as well as gave in the symbiotic relationship between him and his fans as the set never slowed down, only to crescendo with confetti raining down on "Joy".
For the song "The Wrong Party", which the entire tour is named after, Michael Fitzpatrick, aka Fitz, appeared on stage. The two sang back and forth and backup for the anthemic tune: "You're not late to the party, you're not late to the party, you just made it to the wrong party."
The song, like many of Grammer's songs, was written from his personal experience. When Grammer first arrived in Los Angeles, he was always trying to fit in and "failing hilariously". Over time, he realized that the whole time, he was just "at the wrong party" the whole time.
The band ended their set with "Don't Give Up on Me", ending on a very high note… The Andy Grammer's set had highs and lows and everything in between. There are not many bands that can follow this high energy set… except for…
Fitz and the Tantrums then took the stage with a solid groove of danceable neo-soul, kicking off the set with "OCD" and "Don't Gotta Work It Out."
Although based out of Los Angeles, this is a band influenced by the sounds of Motown demonstrated in the sensual interplay between co-lead singers, Michael Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs and the humming engine of Joseph Karnes on bass, John Wicks on drums and Jeremy Ruzumna on keyboards. No lead guitar? Fitzpatrick didn't want one. He found a better avenue with James King on saxophone who at one point went on a free-form jazz solo during "Complicated".
Fitzpatrick mentioned that band had been on the road for fourteen years now and that they were more than grateful to still be playing for their fans as they kept the evening going with "MoneyMaker" and "MoneyGrabber" and "Hands Up" and "HandClap".
It wasn't until the very end and after the encore that cannons were again deployed sending pink confetti into the crowd, briefly obscuring the band from taking their bows in front of the roaring crowd.
The Wrong Party tour,featuring co-headliners Andy Grammer and Fitz and The Tantrums, continues through August.
Andy Grammer's latest EP The Art of Joy is out now on UMG Recordings. Look for a future album from Grammer to be published on Mushroom Publishing.
Fitz and The Tantrums' last album All the Feels is out now on Elektra Records. The new single, "Sway", which was performed on their set, is a preview of a forthcoming album.

Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen and Julien Baker
at Surly Brewing Festival Field
The The Wild Hearts Tour is stopping by Surly Brewing Festival Field this Tuesday, August 9th. The Wild Hearts Tour is an epic co-headlining tour featuring Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, and Julien Baker, all known for their incredible, cathartic live performances.
We last saw Angel Olsen in Oct 2017 and wrote, "Now, let me state the obvious: Angel Olsen has a voice that makes knees weak, blind men see and dreams come true. Hyperbole aside, it truly is a stunning thing, both vulnerable and sensual, reminding me of great vocalists like Brenda Lee or Patsy Cline."
We saw Sharon Van Etten in July 2014 and said, "Sharon Van Etten has this uncanny Daredevil radar, where she can zero on any given audience band member and then have a personal conversation with her fans. It's clear to me that Van Etten has an engaging relationships with her biggest fans..."
Julien Baker in Nov 2021, we noted, "Baker has also gained recent attention as part of indie supergroup boygenius (with Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus) and though always armed with a Southern charm and politeness towards the crowd, has become more confident since we first saw her in 2017 and even more comfortable with her songs and stage presence than in her opening slot in 2018."

with Friend Dog and Lazenlow
at 7th St Entry
Minneapolis band Flip Rushmore (Alex Smith, Dan Klauer, Nick Spielman, Adam Szczepaniak, and Mike Green) is having an EP Release Party this August 10 at the 7th Street Entry.
Flip Rushmore's debut album, Big, If True, spent 21 weeks on the Muzooka College Radio Charts and peaked at No. 70 in late 2019. Reviewers mentioned that they sound like Queens of the Stone Age to Beck.
Their biography lists that the band went from Minneapolis to Nashville and back, again, for their second major release, a new EP called Choose Your Villains Wisely. Some songs were inspired by billionaire space travel ("Waxwing") to the murder of George Floyd ("Platypuseidon") to mass shootings ("The Loathsome Crowded West"), etc. Clearly they have a lot to say about the state of the world.
Friend Dog (aka Vinnie Donatelle) and Lazenlow ( 3-piece out of Minneapolis that includes Vocalist Gillian Needham, Guitarist/Producer Ghost Channels, and drummer Mo Bluntz) to open.

Fitz and the Tantrums and Andy Grammer
with Maggie Rose
at Palace Theatre
We just saw Fitz and the Tantrums at Grinders KC in June 2022, and described the show as, "Arms swayed back and forth during 2013's "6AM" while clouds gathered above and the sky gradually grayed, providing relief from the heat, but also a precursor to oncoming weather changes. Singer Scaggs said that "I Need Help" from the newest record had meant even more to her during the pandemic, helping her to focus on her own mental health and hopefully showing people that they are not alone in any day-to-day struggles."
Andy Grammer will be co-headlining the show. He is known for his chart-topping hits, like "Honey I'm Good" and "Keep Your Head Up."

with DNM and Keep For Cheap
Indie-pop foursome Yam Haus is currently touring with Blue October… However, they'll be headlining the Palace Theatre in St Paul, at the end of their long stadium-sized support tour.
With their latest single, "body goes", the band lead singer Lars Pruitt talked about how the song came about, "It is a song we wrote together with Gabe Simon and Dani Poppit in Nashville, TN. Gabe said, 'do you guys wanna write a love song?' and our guitar player Seth said 'I could say a million things about love, I don't want to.' Gabe said, 'that's a song.' Dani added the crazy slide guitar idea to the group and initially sang that and we were like yes that makes it a lot weirder of a song which we felt it needed. For me, on a personal level it's pretty much about me acknowledging how happy I am to be in a super solid relationship with my significant other."
Following the completion of the Blue October tour, they'll headline a hometown show at Palace Theatre in Saint Paul on December 17.
DNM and Keep For Cheap to open.

Nashville roots-rock soul powerhouse Maggie Rose released her third studio album Have a Seat. The album recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, and was produced by Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes).
Rose comments, "These songs were written during a contentious time, and there are undertones to the lyrics that are influenced by the state of our world politics and the politics of the music industry. The title Have a Seat is responsorial, placing an emphasis on inclusivity — like, 'Here, sit down. Let's try talking to each other.' One of the most loving things we can do is listen and make others feel heard — give people the space to speak their mind and be themselves. However, there's also an intended meaning to the title that points to the power in occupying the seat that's designated to you: I am claiming a seat I believe is rightfully mine, and I want others to do the same."

My Brightest Diamond
Show up early to check out My Brightest Diamond (aka Shara Nova). The singer just dropped her new album A Million And One on November 23rd on Rhyme & Reason Records. She's currently .…
mybrightestdiamond.com
Shara Nova, band leader for My Brightest Diamond, announced a 10-year anniversary of her beloved song "I Have Never Loved Someone" with a brand new version, recorded live during a performance in Denmark for the Queen, with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra with German conductor Andreas Delfs.
"I Have Never Loved Someone" was originally on My Brightest Diamond's All Things Will Unwind LP in 2011, and became one of her best-known song.
"I Have Never Loved Someone" is being released as a special vinyl, with the b-side of "Love Was There", featuring Vincent Taurelle (Air, Beck, Christine and The Queens) on synths and Lydia Cleaver from Cass Tech Harp and Vocal Ensemble on harp.
The two-song release is the first of My Brightest Diamond's new releases since two spring 2019 stand-alone singles "Quiet Loud" and "Dorian".
We caught MBD in Dec 2018 and wrote about hearing "I Have Never Loved Someone" as being one of the best song on her set:
"The whole show felt more like an art performance, complete with dance sequences. I think my personal favorite is for the penultimate song, "I Have Never Loved Someone", which was done almost like a capella. This really showcased Shara's beautiful vocals."
RAINBOW GIRLS
rainbowgirlsmusic.com
Bay Area trio Rainbow Girls will be releasing their EP of all-new original songs called Dumpster Fire on December 6, 2021.
If you listen to the song "Doesn't Make Any Sense" (from the Dumpster Fire EP), it apparently tells a story of a single weekend, according to Erin Chapin (one-third of the trio): "The storyline moves through the events of a single weekend with two lovers finally coming together, just to be pulled apart by some unknown and unnamed force. Though written through the lens of a personal, very literal experience with romantic love, the overarching theme of 'Doesn't Make Any Sense' is something everyone seems to be experiencing right now: the pandemic; climate change; homelessness; the refusal to treat all types of people with dignity, respect, and equality. Nothing makes any sense. How can salvation be so obvious, yet so intangible?"
