Snowed In
Bunker Hills Event Center , Coon Rapids, MN
(This is a dinner theater – follow this link for tickets and to pick your entree)
https://www.kendallstc.com/event-center#snowed-in
The show features winter/holiday songs and enough of a plot to stitch them together. It’s Katie Gearty and Ben Bakken on vocals, Rich Manik on tenor sax and flute, Matt McIntyre on bass and guitar, Joey Hays on drums, and me on keyboards/music director. Produced by Josh Campbell / Brilliant Fete.
The premise is that we are a heavy metal band, “Fjords of Ficus”, and we are snowed in at a country club : ) We discover a bunch of old holiday LPs and get into the spirit, but not before we attempt a metal version of “Carol of the Bells” and put on ugly sweaters.
Here’s the promo video!

Dance ‘Til You Drop
At History Theatre in St. Paul, in collaboration with Collide Theatrical Dance Company

Book by Carson Kreitzer, with popular songs from the ’20s and ’30s, and choreography by Collide artistic director Regina Peluso.

NOTE: A few of you may know that my sister-in-law Andrea Kaitany (my partner Sylvia Bachmann’s sister) is building a secondary school for girls in rural Kenya. Andrea and her daughter Jelimo will be in Minneapolis in May to raise awareness and funds for their important work. The school is called Simbolei Girls’ Preparatory Academy .
Here is Andrea with her husband Richard (awww . . . cute couple)
Most of you probably also know that Nichole Carey and I perform fairly regularly at Studio 2. When I found out Andrea and Jelimo were coming to town, I asked Nichole if it would be okay if they set up a table at Studio 2 on the night of our upcoming performance on May 20. Nichole of course said, “Of course!” so we invite you join us at Studio 2 to have a bite, enjoy a drink, and learn about Andrea’s project. There is no cover charge, but you are invited to make contributions to the cause; Nichole and I will be donating our tips.
