Upcoming Highlights

Willie Murphy (Friday, February 19, 2010 at 9:00 p.m.; $5 Cover). For over 30 years, Willie Murphy has been writing, performing, recording and producing blues and R&B music. His 1969 collaboration with folk and blues legend "Spider" John Koerner, Running, Jumping, Standing Still, is still acclaimed as an all-time folk and blues classic. Since then, he has performed with Willie and the Bees, which was famous for their unique blending of blues, R&B, jazz, funk, reggae and rock into an electric and eclectic sound, as well as the Angel Headed Hipsters, which have played sold out performances around the world. In 1990, Willie Murphy was named one of the three charter members of the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, along with Bob Dylan and Prince. To this day, Willie Murphy continues to bring his unique brand of soul music to blues and R&B-lovin’ audiences. For more information, please visit Willie Murphy’s website.

Famous Dave’s British Invasion Week - Thursday, February 25th to Saturday, February 27th

Joey Molland with Shakespeare’s Pipe (Thursday, February 25, 2010 at 8:00 p.m.; $5 Cover). Joey Molland is a guitarist and singer who has experienced some of rock’s greatest history first hand. His legendary band, Badfinger, had monster hits such as “Come and Get It,” “Baby Blue,” “No Matter What” and others. The only band (besides The Fab Four) that endured on The Beatles’ Apple Records label, Molland and other Badfinger members were closely associated with many post-Beatles projects including Harrison’s epic All Things Must Pass, the Concert for Bangladesh and John Lennon’s classic album, Imagine. While wailing with Shakespeare’s Pipe, Molland commands the attention of audience members of all ages with impressive riffs and vocals. Cover charges for this event will be donated to the Wonderful World of Music organization®.

At this hard-rockin’ Rolling Stones tribute band’s first gig many years ago – a fundraiser for a local food shelf – the audience demanded an encore presentation. A second performance was arranged and from there the rest is history. Fueled with talent, pizzazz and an undying passion for the wildly famous music of The Rolling Stones, the TUMBLIN’ DICE perform the Stones’ hits just the way they are remembered.
