Music

La mayoría de ustedes saben que estoy enseñando música al Parque Corcoran hace unos años con un modelo escuela de rock. Nuevos niños y jóvenes están siempre bienvenidos. En la actualidad, necesitamos mucho a un bajista o dos. En cualquier caso, después de alcanzar niveles intermedios y unos años de experiencia tocando, la siguiente fase es Corcoran Park Rock Band (CPRB) donde trabajamos como un conjunto y los estudiantes eligen y tocan sus canciones.

On Friday, May 10, Nicholas David Mrozinski & the Feelin Band played at First Avenue with Heatbox and Melaie Martinez to open.

Although most of us don’t get the opportunity to dine in the café’s of Seville or dance in the clubs of Havana, it is possible to experience a sense of that cultural vibe in our own city through live music performance. That’s just what took place Thursday, May 9 within the doors of the fabulous Pantages Theatre where Canadian guitarist Jesse Cook and his band transported fans with their style of Rumba Flamenco. Cook is touring in support of his current release “The Blue Guitar Sessions,” a definite shift from the fiery upbeat tunes he’s best known for. Although the mood of the album is "blue," the melodies are beautiful and built around the idea of leaving space to appreciate how Cook crafts each note to deliver the intended message.

On Tuesday, May 7, Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires played at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis with Paul & the Tall Trees to open.
