Time: 8p

Location: Aster Cafe, 125 SE Main Street

Thanksgiving Eve with The Fragrants & Turn! Turn! Turn!

John Munson, Jacques Wait, Max Ray, Sasha Burk and Richard Medek explore funky, fragrant jams by such artists as The Meters, Booker T, Grant Green and Reuben Wilson. If you’re bold we will move the tables and you can get your sweat on.

Turn! Turn! Turn! is the semi-acoustic trio Savannah Smith (guitar, vocals), Adam Levy (guitar, vocals) and Barb Brynstad (bass, vocals) playing their favorite close harmony 60’s and 70’s country, folk and pop covers along with a handful of cosmic indie/folk/Americana originals.

Savannah Smith only needs thirty seconds of your time to win you over. In a world filled to its brim with would-be young singer-songwriters, Savannah’s vocal prowess, and her absolute mastery of crafting raw and gritty emotion into beautiful melodies, defines her from the crowd in moments. Her stage show all her own; Savannah introduces her music with an irresistible charm, ushering the listener into her world with casual ease before effusing desperate and earnest emotion in each song. Her lyrics darken the bright chords and create a depth in her music that reaches far beyond her years.

Adam Levy has been called both a “Great American Songwriter” and an “unknown treasure” by journalists and fans around the world. While leading numerous musical projects in multiple genres, he is probably best known for the last 20+ years as the leader and founding member of the Minnesota-based rock band, The Honeydogs.

Barb Brynstad is a local musician with decades-long roots in the Twin Cities music community. As a singer, bass and guitar player, she plays in several well-known Minnesota bands and contributes her solid musical talents to a variety of theater and recording projects. Barb actively enjoys playing all styles of music, including blues, funk, pop, rock, country, gospel and jazz.

Adopted from China in 1996 and raised by a single mother, Julia Gay grew up shaped by an interconnected web of maternal guidance, love, and loss. Through poetry, memoir, and movement, she honors the women in her life. Join Julia as she journeys from China to the US and, at last, rediscovers her motherland.

Every last Friday of the month he has been releasing a new single with themes based on a dream journal he's been keeping.

Joseph Michael Davis is a nationally touring writer, speaker, and performer based in Minneapolis, MN. Joe Davis and select cast members will be performing a sneak peak of their time-traveling afrofuturistic production, Ancestral Origins.
