Music

Today is rightly considered a holy day in the Big Book. We mark the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death with an hour+ of his music. Hoist your candles aloft as we pay tribute to the King. Also, we continue our review of Motown singles from 1967, with special focus on the B-sides.

Americans playing Norwegian music, Norwegians playing American music and Danes playing Irish music…..and a new CD from Duluth folks Arne Rennan and Nordic Angst.

A preview of next week’s doubly fine evening of African music – Mon. Aug. 20 : Andy Palacio the Garifuna Collective at the Walker’s Movies Music in the Park followed by Lucky Dube, South African reggae musician, at First Avenue – closing out the first Twin Cities’ AfriFest.
