The live performances of the Pine Leaf Boys are a revelation of anarchy and reverence and manic exuberance funneled through traditional musical forms. Full-throttle and wide open, The Pine Leaf Boys heat the tubes of the old music until they break up into the sweetest distortion imaginable. (Josh Caffery)

Get your body moving with this evening's fun Cajun dance with music by Louisiana's Pine Leaf Boys! The floor will be wide open for dancing, with limited seating around the periphery of the room.

Join The Sweet Colleens in this first ever Halloween Monkey Dance Spooktacular! Come in costume (there'll be prizes), it'll be a perfect time to try them out before Halloween. The show will be fun for the whole family, with an open area for the kids to dance, move around and sing along. All the kids are doin' it!

The Monkey Dance is the first kids CD released by the Minneapolis-based Celtic-folk-pop favorites The Sweet Colleens. The CD has 9 songs, which were selected with kids age 2 to 9 in mind; however, as with CDs by artists such as Dan Zanes, kids aged 9 to 99 will enjoy this record too!  Featuring The Sweet Colleens’ classic rootsy sound, the mostly original songs range in style from funky (The Monkey Dance) to folky (Woody Guthrie’s Pretty Baby), Cajun (No Beans, No Brownie) to Caribbean (Going on a Road Trip), sad (The Golden Vanity) to Celtic (the lullaby Da Doo) to…well…just plain gross (Big Fat Wet and Goopy Poopy Diaper).
