Tuesday, May 21 Cory Wong Quartet (7pm), Dean Magraw & Friends (9pm, $5)

ImageThe Artists' Quarter's hottest night opens with the Cory Wong  Quartet featuring Zachary Schmidt on drums, Cory J. Wong on guitar, Andy Schuster on bass and Dan M. Musselman or Kevin Gastonguay on piano  starting at 7:00 P.M.  Born in Poughkeepsie, NY and raised in Minnesota, Cory has established himself as the go-to guitarist, composer, and arranger for dozens of artists throughout the upper mid-west.throughout the upper mid-west.Image

Dean Magraw is more than a guitar virtuoso.  His utter unity with the instrument creates a musical experience that emanates from the stage, but cascades over the room in sheets of rejuvenating spirit. Magraw’s many musical associations have included a long-time duo run with Peter Ostroushko, stints with Ruth McKenzie, Claudia Schmidt and Greg Brown, and an acclaimed 2006 recording with Chicago heavy hitter John Williams.  Dean won the NAIRD 1994 Best Acoustic Instrumental Album of the Year for his solo debut, Broken Silence.

Enjoy V-Lo's tasty $2 tacos every Tuesday!

Tuesday Night-Owl Special: 2 for 1 cover, $1 off all taps and $3 rail mixed drinks after 11pm

 
Wednesday, May 22, Steve Kenny & the Bastids (7pm, free) Snowblind (9pm, $5)

ImageA free opening performance at 7:00pm by “Steve Kenny and the Bastids”, featuring Mr. Kenny on Trumpet with Jesse Mueller on Piano, Aaron Rupar on Drums, and Adam Tucker on Bass along with some very interesting weekly special guests. Part jam session, part stand-up comedy, and part game show, the Bastids are always a rousing warm up to the evening’s festivities.

ImageFormed in 2005, Snowblind is one of the finest collections of young and inspired talent on the Twin Cities jazz scene. Each group member possesses extensive musical training and professional accolades, but together they chase the communal ideal of the jazz ensemble: a group in which all members are equal and pursue common musical goals through relentless rehearsal. Music in the tradition of jazz masters such as Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, and Art Blakey serve as a foundation for the group. Ventures into Afro-Cuban and groove-oriented material further augment this horn-fueled jazz group’s sound. Snowblind features Scott Agster (trombone), Reid Kennedy (drums), Graydon Peterson (bass), Adam Rosmiller (trumpet) and Shilad Sen (sax).

Wednesday Night-Owl Spoecial: 2 for 1 cover, half price house wine, and  $3 house vodka special of the night after 11pm

 
Thursday May 23, Vicki Mountain (9pm, $5)

ImageVicky Mountain has been a mainstay of the Twin Cities music scene since the mid-70s. Her performances in many musical genres include shows with jazz, swing and big bands as well as R&B, Top 40, avant garde and free jazz. She has performed regularly with her own trio/quartet as well as the Lakewood Jazz Ensemble (big band - in the 90s) and the BelaGala Big Band.  Vicky is a teacher of jazz and pop voice at MacPhail Center for Music where she is also the head of the voice department.
