The Artists' Quarter's hottest night just got bigger. An exiting new band featuring Zach W. Schmidt, Cory J. Wong, Cassie Meier, and Dan M. Musselman plays the early show starting at 7:00 P.M. These young, talented musicians provide the perfect prelude to the AQ's longest standing engagement.

Debbie Duncan gets to the soul of the matter in every vocal performance. She is a jazz singer, to be sure, but there is no mistaking the deep well of inspiration from Gospel, folk, blues, R&B and classical. Her five CD releases, including I Thought About You (FS Music 2006), are the work of a complete vocalist – one who understands that bravado and vulnerability are equally potent, and often intertwined, forms of expression. Born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, Debbie has been one of the most revered figures in the vibrant Twin Cities music scene for over two decades. The Minneapolis Star Tribune put it this way: “Once you hear Debbie Duncan, you probably won't think of any other singer; she's that commanding.”.  Backing Debbie, the Tuesday Night Band features "Downtown" Bill Brown (Hammond B-3), Billy Franze (guitar), Gary Berg (sax) and Kenny Horst (drums).  Hammond B-3 organ lovers have been flocking to the AQ on Tuesday nights for over a decade to get a soulful dose of funky jazz, Those who don't venture out on week nights have a chance to hear this great band perform with Minnesota's first lady of song.
