FRIDAY PICK | Happy birthday to the Big Wu

One of my dad's proudest achievements as a parent is having introduced my brother Joe to the jam band that Joe and his friends, as teenagers, followed across the Upper Midwest in our family's giant conversion van. (Bumper sticker: where the heck is the big wu?) Minnesota's answer to the Grateful Dead have been chooglin' for two decades now, and they'll celebrate that landmark on February 10 at the Cabooze with what they describe as "the type of music that wants to course through your veins." Expect a crowd full of well-tracked ditches.
