Rogue Valley

Rogue Valley is an Americana band based in the Twin Cities. Here, the blend of urban development and natural landscape converge along the shores of the Mississippi River. The band raced onto the local scene a little over a decade ago, with four full-length albums in a single year. Then, in 2016 the band followed up with the anthemic, twangy surf-rock collection radiate/dissolve. However, since then it’s been mostly sporadic social media posts claiming, “Coming Soon.”

ABOUT THE FILM

American writer-director Whit Stillman's award-winning debut feature remains as sharp and funny as ever, now 35 years on.

Live Music: Ryan Picone Quartet

The Ryan Picone Quartet has become a creative force in the Twin Cities’ jazz scene, blending a deep Hot Club Jazz tradition. The Ryan Picone Quartet’s music is rooted in the spirit of Django Reinhardt, yet the quartet often ventures into other musical landscapes.

“Swinging, sensual, moody, rousing—Ryan Picone Quartet’s music follows the trail of Django Reinhardt’s Gypsy jazz. Listening to these tracks, you can almost smell the campfire smoke and see the nighttime lights of Paris burning on the horizon.”—Michael Dregni, Author Django: The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend.

Live Music: Patina

Sue Lee Ringwelski has been sharing her easy listening music with her friends and family in homes, at campfires, family functions, events and coffee houses on a regular basis for many years. Sue Lee has written or collaborated on many of the originals that Patina now plays.

Kara Mae has had sixteen years of classical training with her instrument. She is an award winning fiddler having won a fiddle contest at the Lacrosse, WI Irish Festival. Her beautiful singing voice also enhances the stories that are inherent in many of the Irish folk songs that Patina plays.

Live Music: Dave Moore

Dave Moore is one of the great songwriters to come out of the state of Iowa. Known for his elegant songwriting and instrumental prowess on blues guitar, button accordion and harmonica he has become somewhat of a legend. He is a folksinger, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who performed regularly on A Prairie Home Companion between 1986 and 2014.

Live Music: Cafe Accordion Orchestra

Dan Newton’s Café Accordion Orchestra (CAO) performs an eclectic mix full of French flare, Latin heat and Bohemian attitude. The heart of the CAO repertoire is the romantic, Parisian valse-musette. The group complements the musettes with Parisian hot club, swing, ballads, tangos, cha chas, rumbas, and cumbias to create a wonderfully varied show. They inject their music with good humor and expressive abandon. Their high level of musicianship and passion for performance makes them an entertaining concert act as well as a great dance band.
