A Great weekend at the Dakota!
Thanks so much to everyone who came out for our two sold out shows at the Dakota this past weekend. We really had a blast. So great to have Chastity Brown with us and to welcome back to the Twin Cities, Mr. “Daddy Soul” himself, Jackie Harris!

Twin Cities Funk & Soul mention as “Best Local Music Compilation” in City Pages
Aw shucks, it’s a big honor to receive mention from City Pages Minneapolis for our Twin Cities Funk & Soul collection being named “Best Local Music Compilation”. We’re really proud of it so the mention is an extra feather in our cap fo’ sho’. Glad everyone is still digging the music!!
If you still haven’t nabbed your own copy, it’s never too late! It’s still available at our webstore.
Sonny & The Lakers Debut
We had such a great time at the Icehouse last week for the debut of Sonny Knight and the Lakers, we’re still kinda recovering. Stay tuned as there are some more gigs coming up with these guys and new music on the way. Like Sonny said, “We got a whole sack of new songs!”
Sonny Knight and the Lakers-mania!!
Big up to KFAI for having Sonny Knight on the air this week. He was so happy there’s all this great energy behind the big show at Icehouse this week. We’re big fans of the station so it meant a lot to have so much support. It’s fundraising week for the station so take a minute to click on their logo below and contribute to keep such a great independent radio station on the air as they have been for 35 years now!!
In the meantime you can also take a sneak peak at some of the rehearsals Sonny and our new band, The Lakers have been holding to make things extra funky for Wednesday night..
