 With no irony intended, to launch the new Cedar App on an iPhone (or iPod Touch), one touches a photo of the venue's recently restored 1948 "Cedar" neon marquee. From there, the user is able to see a complete list of upcoming shows, listen to a monthly "newsletter podcast," watch videos both of upcoming artists as well as some special, captured performances from the venue's long history from YouTube, map directions and even buy tickets. The Cedar is the first Twin Cities venue with its own iPhone App, now available for download for free on Apple's iTunes Store.
 Tickets for four more super Cedar shows are now on sale, including a solo acoustic show by Minnesota-bred singer-songwriter Peter Himmelman (6/3), a high energy appearance by Balkan Beat Box (6/4), touring very sparingly with their new album Blue Eyed Black Boy, gothic alt country duo Handsome Family (6/11), and sublime kora music from Toumani Diabaté, performing with the Symmetric Orchestra (8/6).
