Showcase

Folk Music Showcase

Sad News!

The Folk Music Showcase is no longer happening. The Eggroll Queen, the last to host the showcases, has been sold and the new place does not have music to the best of my knowledge. It was a good run and I had a chance to play with many great musicians, up and coming and experienced.

Also some of the venues that I appeared at in the past are no longer doing music.

I have been going to open mics at the Finnish Bistro in St. Paul. I will host a showcase on 31 August.
