First Avenue presents Bowerbirds with Dry The River (at The Cedar)

First Avenue presents the North Carolinan experimental indie folk/Americana group Bowerbirds live at The Cedar, touring in support of their brand new album The Clearing. Recorded in a cabin after various life altering circumstances (members Beth Tacular and Phil Moore ending their romantic relationship only to get back together; Tacular almost dying of a strange illness) the record is slated to hit store shelves on March 6.

Opening will be British indie folk-rock band Dry The River, who will also be releasing their debut album Shallow Bed on March 6.

A scintillating solo show by My Brightest Diamond (Shara Worden), the classically trained singer and composer, and experimental pop chanteuse. My Brightest Diamond's recent release All Things Will Unwind is "a picture of an artist maturing; considering joy and pain, beauty and horror, yet bravely standing in the tension between the two--and singing about it" (Asthmatic Kitty).

Brandt Brauer Frick

Fusing elements of organic techno and classical, the music of German trio Brandt Brauer Frick refuses to be easily categorized. Their new album Mr Machine puts them alongside such names as Steve Reich and Philip Glass, but with considerably more groove. Join them on their first appearance in Minnesota, in a year which has seen the rapidly rising act perform at Coachella, Glastonbury, The Big Chill and numerous other leading edge festivals.

Opening will be local electronica artist Cepia, aka Huntley Miller.

Megafaun with Doug Paisley

Megafaun

The Cedar and First Avenue are proud to co-present Megafaun, touring in support of their brand new album Megafaun (Hometapes, Sept 20). Process, songcraft, and toss-and-turn emotion collided when Megafaun’s Joe Westerlund looped together field recordings from his travels in Bali and rural North Carolina: a round-robin of gamelan, ambient sounds, frogs, and cicadas underpin a hauntingly indelible piano melody and a hypnotic beat.
