Concerts

We get out to see a lot of concerts here in the Twin Cities, we're fortunate to have so many great performers coming through town and so many great places for them to play. (A far sight different from arts-deprived Indianapolis, you better believe it.) We always seem to have a camera or (more often) an iPhone camera around to take pictures of the acts we see. Here's just a sampling of who we've had the pleasure of seeing over the past year or two.

Ramsey Lewis at the Dakota Jazz Club.

Marc Cohn at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center.

Kenny Barron Quartet with David Sanchez at the Dakota.

Dar Williams at the Guthrie Theater. 

Chick Corea and Gary Burton at the Dakota.

Legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb at the Dakota.

Kathy Mattea at Orchestra Hall.

Sophie Milman at the Dakota.

The stage in the round for Carole King and James Taylor at the Xcel Center.

Seeing Wicked with Kristi and Tof at the Orpheum.

The Max Weinberg Big Band at the Dakota.
