Minnesota: it's people, music, and rhythm of life... It's a powerful beat, puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet (especially in the winter months!).
The CVS Trio has been playing around the Twin Cities since 2005. They have always brought great melodies that could be compared with Sunny Day Real Estate, Spoon and Elliot Smith. Moving from acoustic shows on the streets of Seattle , to plugging in and transitioning to pure hook-laden rock has pushed their boundaries and helped create the sound they are known and loved for. Improv actor and school teacher Josh Kaplan provides a jazz soaked backdrop beat that can hardly be describes as "backround." Nathan Eliot, who leads the sweet sounding duo Talking Tree, has always had a keen sense for harmonies and perfectly compliments Charlie's vocals as well as providing a Paul McCartney like bounce in his bass notes. Although filling in gaps of sound with only three instruments seems over ambitious to some, working within simpler means has put all the focus on true substance. Charlie’s songs are not your average songs about love and loss. His songs reflect a much more tangible reality. “I can smell the streets, the smoke, the cars and all the cement on the overpass, it’s cold and crass to wake up to it” from the song December explores pure imaginable senses in everyday life. The CVS Trio's songs reflect a life we all live and a way to voice it.

I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Sunday! I hope that the weekend brought you fun adventures, relaxation, and contentment :)
I was going to go camping this weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends went to check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a series of one time only performance art pieces. This one is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. The night will be full of creative, interesting, high-energy music, good drinks and good times.
Here's the info:
Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave" w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves Friday, October 16th Station 4 201 E 4th St St Paul, MN 55101 9pm / $5 / 18+
Heads up to jazz groups, funk banks, or anyone looking to capture a great live record – I’m pulling out my 16 channel mobile recording rig to grab great records anywhere. Play for a night, have Signaturetone mix and master, and out pops a full album. Fast turnaround for fast times, my friends.
Who wants to be next? Get in touch now for booking.
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Hey what's up?.. We hope you you've been having a
great week... Tap City is excited to announce it's working hard pumping
out new tracks left and right (Feel free to give them a listen) along
the way we've also been playing shows at many venues around the area and
just having an all around great time with life... One of the shows we
have coming up is one of the biggest music events to hit Minnesota ,
the "LIVE, LOUD AND LOCAL MUSIC FESTIVAL" it's a three day event
featuring 70+ of the best local acts in the state... It's an all ages
show and tickets are just $10 for a three day pass, YOU CAN'T GET A
