About Jon Pardi
A “hero in the making” (Variety), ACM and CMA award-winning entertainer Jon Pardi is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (Music Row) and his impressive ability to carve out his own path creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still work on a mass scale” (Variety). Filled with fiddle, twang and steel guitar, Pardi continues to “apply new ideas to country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People).
His current album, MR. SATURDAY NIGHT, received critically-acclaim and earned the Dixon, California native his fifth #1 single at Country Radio with the album’s title-track. A triple threat of songwriter, singer, and producer, MR. SATURDAYNIGHT marked Pardi’s latest Co-Producing effort and reunited the award-winning team behind his Album of the Year nominated project, HEARTACHE MEDICATION, which debuted among the top albums on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and was named on Rolling Stone’s “Best Albums of the Year” and to The Los Angeles Times “Best Albums of the Year” (#4) list as the only country artist/album represented. HEARTACHE MEDICATION earned Pardi his first CMA Album of the Year nomination and his second consecutive ACM Album of the Year nomination.
Pardi recently announced his first World headlining tour, the 2023 Mr. Saturday Night World Tour, which will launch in Northern Ireland this August and head across Europe and the UK before making its way to the US this Fall.

ABOUT SOUL ASYLUM
Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum selling rock band Soul Asylum started as Minneapolis’ punk younger brothers to the Replacements and Husker Dü.
Their 1992 breakthrough album, Grave Dancers Union, featured the international hits “Runaway Train,” “Black Gold” and “Somebody to Shove.” “Runaway Train” won a Grammy, and its music video brought nearly two dozen missing and exploited children and teens around the world home to their families. Soul Asylum has released 12 original albums, in addition to multiple live albums and greatest hits collections. Hurry Up and Wait was released in 2020 to much fan and critical acclaim worldwide, landing the band their highest Billboard chart position since 1995’s platinum-selling Let Your Dim Light Shine.
The current Soul Asylum line-up features Dave Pirner (lead vocals/guitar), Michael Bland (drums), Ryan Smith (lead guitar) and Jeremy Tappero (bass). Pirner, generally considered to be one of the one of the great American songwriters, released a best-selling annotated collection of lyrics, Loud, Fast, Words, in 2020.
Soul Asylum released their 1993 MTV Unplugged performance on vinyl for the first time ever as a 2023 Record Store Day exclusive. In celebration of that 30-year anniversary, the band played a special unplugged show at State Theatre in Minneapolis on April 20 that was Soul Asylum’s highest grossing show ever. The band have booked multiple festival dates in 2023 and are continuing to do stripped-down acoustic shows as well.
ABOUT GEAR DADDIES
Gear Daddies is an Americana/Rock band originally from Austin, Minnesota. Members Martin Zellar (electric and acoustic guitar, harmonica and vocals), Nick Ciola (bass), Randy Broughten (electric and pedal steel guitar) and James “Billy” Dankert (drums and vocals), played their first shows together in 1984. Between 1986 and 1992, the band released three popular albums and became an important part of the Twin Cities music scene. Many of the fan’s favorite songs (“Stupid Boy”, “Color of Her Eyes”, “She’s Happy”, “Drank So Much” and many others) are credited to the exceptionally passionate writing skills possessed by Zellar, however Dankert has also contributed some of the compositions, including “Time Heals”, and “Blues Mary”.
Gear Daddies have been mentioned as an influence on several bands that emerged in the Upper Midwest in the late 1980s through the 1990s, including: The Billy’s, Violet, Shoot Lucy, Dazy Head Mazy, Groundhouse and Six Mile Grove.

“Jellicle Cats come one, come all!”
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats will run feral as Stage West takes the feline up from the junkyard to the backyard. Largely plotless, CATS follows a tribe of so-called “Jellicle” Cats who gather for an annual ball, presenting themselves for the chance to be reborn into a new life. One-by-one each cat tells their story through fur-raising song and dance hoping to ascend to The Heavyside Layer before their nine lives become just a…memory.

A true global musical theatre phenomenon, CATS has been presented in over 30 countries, translated into 16 languages, and seen by more than 73 million people worldwide. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, it is one of the longest running shows on Broadway originally playing for a record-breaking 18 years. The eclectic musical score of CATS includes the hit song “Memory,” which has been recorded by over 150 artists from Barbra Streisand to Liberace to Barry Manilo

12 performances!June 30-July 2, July 7-10, & July 14-18.VIP, Reserved, and General Admission Tickets available.
