Live Music @ Immy: Blue Canaries

The Blue Canaries are a Northfield band with great songs, great musicians, and just the right amount of chaos.

Chris leads on guitar (or so we're told). Dusty keeps the groove going on bass. Taylor brings the keys and somehow translates music into something the rest of the band can understand. Jordyn and Sam deliver powerhouse vocals, and Will makes the drums go bong.

They're local. They're talented. They're a lot of fun.

Join us for an evening of live music, fresh beer, and hometown vibes.

They bring you the harmony of saturnine space blues and roaring dio-rock. Some of their influences include the Replacements, the Rolling Stones, and tunes that will otherwise make you stamp your foot, shake your tail, and get that girl you've always wanted.

Live Music: Art Vandalay

Live Music: Art Vandalay

Art Vandalay is a Twin Cities-based band that blends the vintage sounds of The Band and the modern vibe of The Black Keys, creating a laid-back “Americana sound with a sprinkling of folk, pop, and jazz” (Mostly Minnesota).

Their latest album, One Night at the Aster, is their 4th record and 1st live album that captures the spirited live energy that has made the Art Vandalay a fixture of the Twin Cities’ Americana scene. The album captures the magic the band can conjure from the stage with a performance that finds the band simply on fire, delivering a scorching set of their “impossibly catchy” (Duluth News Tribune) Americana. Some songs are played as rehearsed and some take onstage detours all the while the band digging into the grooves and putting on a show that stands as one of their finest.

Since 2007, Art Vandalay has carved their place in the Twin Cities’ Americana scene, with their “fresh, fluid roots-rock sound” (Adventures in Americana). One Night at the Aster is a testament to Art Vandalay’s timeless songwriting and relentless performing for more than a decade.
