Concerts & Events

Over the last three decades, singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer Gary Louris has built a deeply compelling body of music whose artistry and integrity has won the loyalty of an international audience and the respect of both critics and his peers. Best known for his seminal work with The Jayhawks, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians to come out of Minnesota's teeming rock scene.

Concurrent with his time in the Jayhawks, Louris has been a charter member of the part-time alt-rock supergroup Golden Smog, which at various times has included members of Soul Asylum, Wilco, the Replacements and Big Star.

Along the way Louris has produced records by various artists, contributed songs to Grammy Award-winning albums by the Tedeschi/Trucks Band and The Dixie Chicks; and recorded with acts as diverse as the Black Crowes, Counting Crows, Uncle Tupelo, Joe Henry, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, Roger McGuinn, Maria McKee, Nickel Creek, Carrie Rodriguez, Tift Merritt and the Wallflowers.

Along with keeping the Jayhawks flame burning, Louris is currently looking to the future and is busier than ever - writing, performing, producing and exploring new collaborative opportunities.

Steve Dawson & Diane Christiansen

Steve Dawson and Diane Christiansen have been performing, writing, and recording together for well over two decades. They've performed to capacity audiences and critical raves all over the U.S. and Europe as a duo, and with their band, Dolly Varden.

“It's a gift to be able to do this,” says Christiansen when asked how the couple manages to navigate the sometimes tense mix of creativity and marriage. “I couldn't imagine life any other way,” echoes Dawson. “We've been singing together since the day we met.”

"Electric-country majesty…a series of lover's questions posed with a kick and sheen that evoke both the dB's and Gram Parson's Fallen Angels. And when Dawson and Christiansen fly in close harmony, you get a good idea of how Marshall Crenshaw and Lucinda Williams might sound in duet.” - Rolling Stone
